Stainless Steel Hex Cap Socket Head Cap Screws

About this Item

HexHexagon socket head cap Screws (cap Bolts) Bolts with a hexagonal hole on a cylindrical head that's fastened with a hex wrench. Although they are also called cap screws or socket screws, the most common names are "hexagon socket head cap screw" and "cap bolt".Hex sockets and bits are commonly used to tighten or loosen hardware on industrial equipment, shaft collars and couplings, and other machine components. They can be used with Ruland torque wrenches or other non-impact industrial torque wrenches in a variety of applications. As compared with a conventional hex socket head of the same size, a Torx screw can withstand a much higher torque without sustaining damage to its head or its socket. What is the difference between a hexagon bolt and a hexagon cap screw?
The most basic difference between a cap screw and a bolt is the way in which these fasteners are installed. Technically, a bolt is installed by turning a nut to tighten the fastener, while a cap screw in installed by turning the head of the bolt to assemble and tighten.
