Countersunk Hexagon Socket Bolt Product Description

Countersunk hexagon socket bolts, also referred to as flat-head socket cap screws, are fasteners with a conical head and an internal hexagonal drive. The 90° countersunk head design allows the bolt to sit flush with or slightly below the mating surface, creating a smooth, snag-free assembly.

Product introduction

Product Overview
Countersunk hexagon socket bolts, also referred to as flat-head socket cap screws, are fasteners with a conical head and an internal hexagonal drive. The 90° countersunk head design allows the bolt to sit flush with or slightly below the mating surface, creating a smooth, snag-free assembly.

Key Features

  • Internal hexagon socket drive provides high torque transfer and reduces cam-out risk
  • 90° flat countersunk head enables flush installation
  • Precision-formed threads for consistent fit and reliable clamping
  • Available in multiple strength grades and materials
  • Corrosion-resistant surface finishes available
  • Easy to install and remove with standard hex keys or bits

Materials and Strength Grades

Stainless steelA2-70, A4-80Passivated
BrassNot strength gradedPlain, nickel plated
Titanium alloyGrade 5Polished or anodized

Dimensional Standards

  • Metric: ISO 10642 / DIN 7991, M3 through M20
  • Inch: ASME B18.3, #4-40 through 3/4-10
  • Thread types: metric coarse, metric fine, UNC, UNF
  • Standard head angle: 90°
  • Drive type: hexagon socket per ISO 4762 or ASME B18.3

Recommended Torque Guidance
The following values are approximate for property class 10.9 steel bolts under unlubricated conditions.

Nominal DiameterStandard PitchApproximate Torque Range
M40.7 mm2.5–3.5 N·m
M50.8 mm5–7 N·m
M61.0 mm9–12 N·m
M81.25 mm22–28 N·m
M101.5 mm43–55 N·m

Typical Applications

  • Machine guards and access panels
  • Automotive interior and chassis components
  • Furniture and cabinet assembly
  • Electronic enclosures and control cabinets
  • Sheet metal housings
  • Molds, dies, and fixture plates
  • Aerospace and precision equipment

Installation Notes

  1. Verify that the countersink angle of the mating hole matches the fastener head angle.
  2. Use properly sized hex keys or driver bits to avoid damaging the socket.
  3. Apply the specified tightening torque for high-strength joints.
  4. For stainless steel fasteners, use controlled assembly speed or anti-seize lubricant to reduce galling risk.

Packaging and Quality

  • Bulk cartons, poly bags, or labeled small boxes
  • Optional plating certificates and material test reports
  • Dimensional inspection and batch traceability available
