Flat Head Socket Set Screws are fasteners with a flat head and internal hex hole. The flat head design allows it to sit flush with the surface for applications that require a flat surface after assembly, such as the assembly of mechanical and electronic equipment. The internal hexagonal hole design allows for tightening with a hex wrench or wrench, providing reliable torque transfer and secure tightening. These Screws are commonly used to secure or reposition parts and to maneuver in compact spaces. Common materials include stainless steel, carbon steel and alloy steel, and different finishes can be selected to enhance durability and corrosion resistance according to specific needs.Flat Head Socket Set Screws are widely used in manufacturing, mechanical engineering and electronic equipment due to their simple and practical design and wide applicability.
Flat Head Design: The flat head allows the screw to sit flush with or below the surface, providing a smooth, unobtrusive finish.
Hex Socket Drive: The internal hex drive enables easy installation and removal with an Allen wrench, offering excellent torque transfer with minimal slippage or wear.
Headless Construction: The headless feature makes it suitable for applications where the screw needs to be hidden or set securely into the material.
High-Strength Material: Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel, these screws are highly durable, corrosion-resistant, and built for long-lasting performance, even in demanding environments.
Diameter Range: Available in various diameters, typically from M3 to M12, to suit diverse applications.
Length Range: Standard lengths range from 3mm to 100mm, providing flexibility for different installation needs.
Surface Treatment: Options include zinc plating, nickel plating, and oxidation treatments to enhance rust and corrosion resistance and extend product lifespan.
