DIN 912 Hexagon Socket Head Cap Screws – Fabory
We are Fabory, your trusted fastener supplier. We specialize in providing high-quality fasteners that meet industry standards, and today, we present to you the DIN 912 Hexagon Socket Head Cap Screws.
Overview of DIN 912
DIN 912 is an internationally recognized standard that applies to the Hexagon Socket Head Cap Screw. The ISO 4762 also applies but is not the same standard. Both standards define the specifications for hexagon socket head cap screws, ensuring precision, reliability, and compatibility. These fasteners are known for their versatility and are essential components in various industries.
Key Features and Specifications of DIN 912:
- Sizes: Our DIN 912 hexagon socket head cap screws are available in sizes ranging from cap screws M1,4, M1,6, M2, M4, M6 M8 and even up to M56 (the norm even specifies M100), catering to a wide range of applications.
- Lengths: Choose from lengths up to 300mm, allowing for flexibility in your projects.
- Materials: These fasteners are mainly available in three durable materials: steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
- Strength Classes (Steel): Select the appropriate strength class to meet your specific needs, with options including 8.8, 10.9, and 12.9.
- Strength Classes (Stainless Steel): For stainless steel options, we offer class 50, 70 and 80. For A2 and A4 screws up to M20 we have both class 70 and class 80. Sizes over M20 may come in a lower strength class of at least 50. In this size we cannot assure a strength class of 70.
- Surface treatments (Steel): we offer a variation of surface treatments from plain to zinc flake. Select the right surface treatment to assure the corrosion resistance.
- Surface treatments (Stainless steel): Stainless steel DIN 912 screws can come in plain stainless steel, or in our Fabory exclusive LUBRINOX coating. This will prevent the typical stainless-steel galling from happening.
Benefits and Applications:
DIN 912 Hexagon Socket Head Cap Screws offer several advantages:
- Exceptional durability and strength for secure fastening.
- Ideal for applications where space is limited due to their compact design.
- Widely used in industries such as construction, automotive, machinery, and more.
FAQ
What is the difference between steel and stainless-steel DIN 912 screws?
- Steel screws are known for their high strength and durability, making them suitable for a wide range of applications where robust fastening is essential. They are particularly ideal for projects where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern.
- Stainless steel screws (A2), on the other hand, are mainly chosen in applications where the fasteners come in contact with other stainless steel components. Also, when the application is subjected to moisture, stainless steel (A2) has a better corrosion resistance. If the application has contact with chemicals or harsh weather conditions, the choice for A4 is required, for A2 would not be sufficient.
Which strength class should I choose for steel DIN 912 screws?
The strength class you should choose depends on the specific demands of your project. Here's a general guideline:
- Class 8.8: This class provides good strength and is suitable for many standard applications.
- Class 10.9: Choose this class when you need higher tensile(or shear) strength and increased load-bearing capacity.
- Class 12.9: Use this class for critical applications that require the utmost strength and reliability (generally not preferred in dynamic joints due to the smaller elongation after fracture).
What are the advantages of hexagon socket head cap screws compared to other fasteners?
Hexagon socket head cap screws are known for their compact design, which allows them to fit into tight spaces. The hexagonal socket drive also provides excellent torque transfer and prevents slipping during installation. These screws are commonly used in applications where accessibility is limited.
