Hex Head Cap Screws

Hex head cap screws are used in construction and mechanical assemblies to secure wood, metal and plastic. Raptor Supplies offers these hex head cap screws from brands like Grainger, Fabory, Armor Coat and Calbrite. These screws are ideal for applications that require high tolerances.

Features

  • Hex head cap screws have a flat washer face positioned beneath the thick, hexagonal head to offer a large bearing surface for wrench tightening.
  • They have a six-sided head without a recess.
  • These screws allow greater torque than conventional screws with a circular head, owing to the hexagonal shape.
  • They are less prone to stripping than other screws as they distribute the turning force on all six sides.
  • These hex cap screws are manufactured by turned CNC operation or a cold-heading process.
  • They are designed for use with nuts or for insertion in pre-tapped holes.
  • These screws are available in lengths ranging from 6 mm to 100 feet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a hex bolt and a hex cap screw?

The primary difference between a bolt and a cap screw is the way in which they are installed. A hex cap screw is inserted by twisting the head of the bolt to assemble and tighten, whereas a bolt is installed by turning a nut to tighten the fastener.

How do you remove a hex cap screw?

  • Use a rotary tool and grinding wheel to create a slot in the screw's head, and a flathead screwdriver to turn the screw.
  • Alternatively, clamp a locking plier set onto the head and use it to turn the screw.

How does a hex screw work?

Hex-head screws have a hexagonal head that can be tightened with a wrench or socket, which engages with the external faces of the hex head.

What standards do these hex head cap screws comply with?

These machine screws adhere to AN, ASME, ASTM, CSA, DIN, EHEDG, FDA, Federal Specifications, IFI, ISO, JIS, Military Specifications, MS90728-10, NAS, SAE and UL standards.
