Hex Head Cap Screws are designed with a washer face under the head to provide uniform torque tension, meaning you can assemble this product by tightening the head of the screw or by tightening a nut onto the threads of the screw. Earnest Machine stocks this style of fastener in diameters ranging from 1/4” to 3” with lengths ranging from 1/2” to 20” with a wide selection of grades and f inishes to choose from.

A Hex Head Cap Screw DIN 931 is a type of fastener that is partially threaded, featuring a hexagonal (six-sided) head, and conforms to the DIN 931 standard, which specifies the dimensions and requirements for metric hex head cap screws. These screws are used to secure two or more components together in mechanical and structural applications.

A Hex Head Cap Screw DIN 933 is a type of fully threaded fastener with a hexagonal head, conforming to the DIN 933 standard. This standard specifies the dimensions and mechanical properties for these screws, ensuring consistency and reliability in various applications.

A metric hex head cap screw is a type of fastener that has a hexagonal (six-sided) head and a threaded shaft, designed to be used with metric-sized nuts or tapped (threaded) holes. The hex head allows for easy tightening and loosening using a wrench or socket. These screws are commonly used in machinery, automotive, construction, and structural applications, where precise, strong, and reliable fastening is required.

A Metric Hex Head Cap Screw (ANSI) is a type of threaded fastener with a hexagonal (six-sided) head, used for securing materials or components. It is manufactured to metric dimensions and follows specifications set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). These screws are widely used in machinery, construction, automotive, and many other applications.
