Hexagon head screws - Versatile, robust and reliable

Hexagon head screws are screws with a hexagonal head that allow easy handling with wrenches and ratchets. They are available in various materials and sizes and are used in numerous applications.

Hexagon head screws offer several advantages. They are versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications. The hexagonal head allows an easy and secure installation. The larger contact surface of the hexagonal head ensures better force transmission and reduces the risk of slipping.

Typical areas of application for hexagon head screws

Construction industry: For fastening steel beams and other construction elements.
Mechanical engineering: For the assembly of machines, systems and devices.
DIY: Ideal for furniture assembly and repairs.

There are different types of hexagon head screws, including normal hexagon head screws, which are ideal for general applications. High-strength hex head screws are used for applications that are subject to high loads. Stainless steel hex head screws are used for applications where corrosion resistance is important.

Hexagon head bolt ISO 4017 / DIN 933

Hexagon head screws according to ISO 4017 (DIN 933) have a hexagonal head and a continuous thread. The ISO 4017 standard has replaced the older DIN 933 standard, whereby both standards are largely interchangeable, but there are slight differences in the width across flats for certain sizes (e.g. M10, M12, M14, M22).

Hexagon head screw ISO 4014 / DIN 931

Hexagon head screws according to ISO 4014 (formerly DIN 931) have a hexagonal head and a partial thread (with shank). The ISO 4014 standard has replaced the older DIN 931 standard. Both standards are largely interchangeable, but there are slight differences in the width across flats for certain sizes (e.g. M10, M12, M14 and M22).

Hexagon screw with flange DIN 6921

Hexagon screws to DIN 6921 have a hexagonal head and an integrated flange. This flange distributes the load over a larger area, which protects the material and makes the connection more stable. Some variants of these hexagon head bolts have locking teeth under the flange that prevent the bolt from loosening.

Hexagon fitting screw with long threaded pin DIN 609

Hexagon fitting screws in accordance with DIN 609 are screws with a hexagonal head and a long threaded tang. The threadless shank of these screws provides a particularly accurate fit, which is essential for precise applications. The threadless shank completely fills the hole, which prevents wobbling or instability.

Hexagon head screw with shank DIN 601

Hexagon head screws to DIN 601 are characterized by a hexagonal head and a partial thread. The longer shank of these screws provides additional stability and strength, making them ideal for applications that require high loads.

Heavy Hex Bolts ASME B18.2.1 - Table 3

Heavy Hex Bolts according to ASME B18.2.1 are characterized by a larger head compared to normal hex bolts. These bolts are specified in inch sizes and cover a diameter range from 3/8 inch to 3 inch. The larger head offers better power transmission and stability.

Advantages of hexagon head screws

Hexagon head screws are particularly useful in many applications due to their numerous advantages:

High strength: these screws are usually made of robust materials, which give them a high load-bearing capacity and durability.
Easy handling: The hexagonal shape allows for easy tightening and loosening with a wrench or ratchet.
Versatility: Available in different sizes and materials, hexagon head bolts are suitable for a wide range of applications, from construction projects to engineering.
Good grip: The larger contact surface of the hexagonal shape reduces the risk of slipping and ensures better force transmission.
Corrosion resistance: Many hexagon head bolts are made of stainless steel or have special coatings that protect them from corrosion.
