Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between socket cap screws and standard bolts?

Socket cap screws feature a cylindrical head with an internal hexagon socket, allowing them to sit flush or below the surface. They're designed for applications requiring high clamping force in a compact space, whilst standard bolts typically have external hex heads that protrude above the surface.

What grade socket cap screws do I need for my application?

Grade 8.8 suits general engineering applications, whilst Grade 12.9 high-tensile screws are recommended for high-stress assemblies requiring maximum strength. For corrosive environments, stainless steel A2 or A4 grades provide excellent durability.

Can I reuse socket cap screws?

Whilst technically possible, it's generally recommended to replace socket cap screws in critical applications, as repeated tightening can stretch threads and compromise clamping force, particularly with high-tensile grades.
