Hex Socket Ultra Thin Flat bolts, also known as hex socket flat head screws with an ultra-low profile, are a type of screw designed for applications where a low-profile or flush finish is required. These screws feature a hexagonal socket for driving and a flat head that sits flush or below the surface of the material being fastened.
Carbon Steel: Typically used for general applications.
Stainless Steel: For environments where corrosion resistance is required.
Alloy Steels: Used in applications requiring high strength or high temperature resistance.
Advantage:
Low Profile Design: The ultra-thin head design allows the screw to sit closer to the surface, making it suitable for applications where a flush or low-profile appearance is desired.
Hex Socket Drive: The hex socket allows for secure and precise tightening with a hex key or Allen wrench, providing better torque transfer and reducing the risk of cam-out.
Space-Saving: These screws can be used in tight spaces where traditional screws with higher heads would not fit.
High Strength: Available in materials like SCM435 with a strength class of up to 10.9, ensuring they can withstand significant loads.
Scope of Application
Electronic Devices: Used in the assembly of electronic devices where a flush mount is required for aesthetic or space-saving reasons.
Mechanical Equipment: Employed in machinery where a low-profile fastening solution is needed, such as in the construction of compact mechanisms or fixtures.
Automotive Industry: Can be used in automotive applications where space is at a premium and a flush finish is desired.
Aerospace and Medical Equipment: Utilized in industries where weight and space are critical, and a reliable connection is necessary.
