Allen Cap SHCS
Socket caps have a small cylindrical head with tall vertical sides. Allen (hex socket) drive is a six-sided recess [Internal Hex Socket] for use with an Allen wrench (hex key). This design is the workhorse of the machine building industry.
The most important reasons for the increasing use of socket head cap screws in industry are safety, reliability and economy. All three reasons are directly traceable to the superior performance of socket screws vs. other fasteners, and that is due to their superior strength and advanced design. Available in full thread and half thread.
Standards: DIN 912, ISO 4762, Low Head – DIN 7984
Materials: Alloy Steel, Stainless Steel – AISI 304 and AISI 316, Titanium
Size Range: M1.6 to M24 up to 200mm length. 2-56UNC to 1″

Allen CSK
Flat head screws are used for flush mounting of sections, usually where one part slides over another or one part is mounted on another. Countersunk head screws, like button heads and low heads, are limited by configuration in their tensile strength capability. Because of this, they should not be used in applications requiring full strength, where Socket Head Cap Screws should be used.
The head angle for metric countersunk socket screws is 90 degrees up to & including M20 and 60 degrees over M20. The head angle for Imperial is different – Unified is 82 degrees and British thread forms are 90 degrees.
Usage : Machine Guards, Hinges, Covers, multiple level assemblies etc.
Available in Hexagonal socket drive and the improved 6-Lobe (Hexalobular) drive.
Allen (Hex socket) Flat Head Screws are available as per ISO 10642 (similar to DIN 7991 which is now obsolete).

Allen Button Head BHCS
The Socket Button Head Screw design as per ISO 7380-1 is primarily used where a lower profile head is required and for aesthetical reasons.
Button head socket cap screws combine the similar shape of a pan head with the driver of a socket head. The socket driver is ideal for low clearance applications that require a large area clamping face.
Compared to a standard socket head cap screw, button heads have a lower and wider profile which can be useful when the clamping material is too thin to counter-bore.
A button head socket cap screw’s large diameter face also helps to distribute force more evenly. They are also known as Button Head Cap Screws or BHCS.
These screws can take a lower tightening torque as compared to the DIN 912 screws.
Hence, these screws are not recommended for high demand applications.
Available in Hexagonal Socket drive and 6-Lobe (Hexalobular) drive for higher reliability.

SOCKET SET SCREW – Allen Grub Screw
A set screw is a threaded fastener that normally does not have a head. Unlike most other threaded fasteners it is basically a compression device normally used to generate axial thrust.
Set Screws are also known as grub screw.
It is used to hold parts like sleeve, collar, coupling, gear etc. on a shaft to prevent relative motion.
The most obvious point of distinction between grub screws and other types of standard screws and bolts is that true grub screws tend not to feature a protruding head.
Instead, they’re usually threaded right to the top, and are the same diameter all the way along their length, meaning that the grub screw can be fully driven into its hole to sit flush with (or even countersunk into, depending on the application) the workpiece.
They’re almost always found being used in mechanical systems where two or more metal surfaces rub or press directly together, and where there isn’t room to fit a bolt or other type of protruding head between the two flush surfaces without limiting proper functionality or movement of the part(s).
Socket set screws offer three types of holding power: torsional (resistance to rotation); axial (resistance to lateral movement); and vibrational.
Size selection is an important factor in holding power.
Grub Screws are available with different point options.
