Basic Description


  • Headless Design: These screws do not have a traditional head like other machine screws. Instead, they have a hexagonal socket on one end, which allows them to be driven with a hex key (Allen wrench).

  • Flat Tip: The tip of the screw is flat, which is ideal for pressing against a flat surface to secure a component. The flat tip provides a solid contact area and distributes pressure evenly.

  • Material: They are typically made from steel, stainless steel, brass, or other metals, depending on the application requirements.

  • Finish: Various finishes are available, such as zinc plating, nickel plating, and black oxide, to enhance corrosion resistance and appearance.


Applications


  • Component Fixing: These screws are commonly used to fix components in place, such as gears, pulleys, and shafts, without protruding above the surface.

  • Adjustable Fixtures: They are used in adjustable fixtures where the screw needs to be flush with the surface or recessed.

  • Mechanical Devices: They are found in a wide range of mechanical devices, from motors and engines to furniture and electronics.


Features


  • Hex Socket: The hexagonal socket on the screw allows for precise torque application and prevents cam-out during installation.

  • Threaded Body: The entire body of the screw is threaded, allowing it to be screwed into a pre-tapped hole or a nut.

  • Length: These screws come in various lengths to accommodate different thicknesses of the material being secured.

  • Size: They are available in different diameters to match the size of the tapped hole or the thickness of the material.

FAQ


1. What Are Hex Socket Headless Flat Machine Screws?

  • Answer: These are screws that have a hexagonal socket (Allen key slot) on one end and no head on the other end. They are designed to be fully recessed into the material they are fastened into, creating a flush surface.

2. What Are They Used For?

  • Answer: They are used in applications where a low profile is essential, such as in electronics, machinery, and automotive parts where a protruding head would interfere with assembly or operation.

3. How Are They Installed?

  • Answer: They are installed using an Allen wrench or hex key that fits into the hexagonal socket. The screw is inserted into a pre-tapped hole and tightened until it sits flush with the surface.

4. What Are the Common Sizes?

  • Answer: Sizes can vary widely depending on the application, but common sizes include metric sizes ranging from M2 to M12 and imperial sizes from #0 to 1/2 inch in diameter. Lengths can also vary based on the thickness of the material being fastened.

5. What Materials Are They Made Of?

  • Answer: These screws are typically made from stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, or other alloys depending on the application's requirements for strength, corrosion resistance, or conductivity.

6. Can They Be Used in Outdoor Environments?

  • Answer: Yes, but if used outdoors, it's advisable to choose corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel to prevent rust and degradation over time.

7. Are There Any Special Tools Needed for Installation?

  • Answer: Yes, an Allen wrench or hex key is required to install these screws. The size of the tool will depend on the screw's socket size.

8. How Do I Know Which Size to Use?

  • Answer: The size of the screw depends on the thickness of the material being fastened and the type of hole being tapped. Consult the manufacturer's specifications or a mechanical engineer to determine the appropriate size for your application.

9. Can They Be Used in Plastics?

  • Answer: Yes, but the plastic must be able to hold a tap thread, and the screw should be made of a material that won't damage the plastic. In some cases, inserting a metal insert into the plastic may be necessary to provide a secure thread.

10. What Is the Difference Between These Screws and Regular Hex Socket Cap Screws?

  • Answer: Regular hex socket cap screws have a domed or button head, whereas hex socket headless flat machine screws do not have a head, allowing for a flush fit when fully inserted.

11. How Do I Prevent Stripping the Hex Socket?

  • Answer: Use the correct size Allen wrench to avoid stripping the socket. Ensure the wrench is fully seated in the socket and apply even pressure when tightening or loosening the screw.

12. Are There Any Standards These Screws Adhere To?

  • Answer: Yes, these screws adhere to international standards such as ISO, ANSI, DIN, etc., which specify dimensions, tolerances, and materials for different sizes and types of screws.

13. Can They Be Used for Structural Applications?

  • Answer: While they can be used in structural applications, their suitability depends on the load-bearing requirements and the design of the assembly. Consult an engineer for structural applications to ensure the correct type and size of fastener are used.

14. How Do I Remove a Stuck Hex Socket Headless Flat Machine Screw?

  • Answer: If the screw is stuck, try penetrating oil to loosen it, and use the correct size Allen wrench. If it still won’t budge, consider using a screw extractor or consult a professional.

15. Where Can I Purchase These Screws?

  • Answer: You can purchase these screws from hardware stores, industrial suppliers, or online retailers specializing in fasteners. Ensure you specify the exact size and material required when ordering.
