Detail & Specs
M8X1.25 - Allen Socket Head Cap Screw
A2-70 Stainless Steel / DIN 912
Socket head bolts are great for limited space installation areas. An allen wrench is used to install these screws, allowing access into tight locations where a traditional external hex drive bolt would not fit.
Partially threaded socket cap bolts have an unthreaded length under the head that is stronger than the threaded portion of the bolt. The unthreaded / threaded length dimensions vary by diameter. Fully threaded socket cap screws are meant to engage the entire length with a tapped hole. The socket head may be smooth or knurled.
These bolts can be used with many different styles of locking and non-locking nuts, tightly clamping together whatever the cap screw is being used to secure.
Commonly used in damp environments for corrosion resistance, popular across a wide range of industries: automotive, agriculture, food processing, clean energy, etc.
For any application involving marine (salt water), use A4 / 316 Stainless Steel material, available as special order.
Also known as allen cap screw, hex drive screw, socket head bolt, hexagon socket head cap screw. Cylindrical head screw meant to be used with an allen wrench.
