Socket Button Head Machine Screws to ISO 7380 host a hexagonal recess and are driven using a standard hex wrench or insert bit. A button head socket cap screw is a type of cap screw with a cylindrical head and hexagonal drive hole. A button head socket cap screw is most commonly driven with an allen wrench or hex key. Most button socket cap screws feature clean heads with no stamping or marking for a nice clean finished look.
Button Socket Head Screws are commonly used in automotive, electronics, machinery and manufacturing applications due to their versatility, raised dome head, and durability. The hex socket screw drive gives the screw six stress-bearing sides. This enables the screw to resist cam-out better than most other drives. Compared to other screws, hex socket screw types of the same size enable you to achieve higher torque and clamping force.
These components are more efficient compared to other drive types as they offer higher resistance to cam-out. They can also be used with power drivers to provide higher torque and faster installation.
