Hexalobular socket head cap screws with low head

a) It is a standard that defines the specifications for cross recessed raised cheese head screws (Pan Head). These screws have a raised cylindrical head with a flat bearing surface and a cross recess, often referred to as a Phillips drive (Type H). Some other common types are cross recess type Z (Pozi) and Generic hexalobular socket / 6 lobe. 

a) DIN 912 (ISO 4762) refers to a standard for metric socket head cap screws, also known as cup head screws. These fasteners feature a cylindrical head with a hexagonal recess (socket) in the center, allowing them to be tightened or loosened using a hex key or Allen wrench. These screws are commonly used in various applications where a high tensile strength is required.

b) A socket head cap screw with a knurled head is a modified version of the standard DIN 912 screw, featuring a textured knurled surface around the head. This design provides additional grip for manual handling or adjustment, making it ideal for certain applications.

a) DIN 968 specifies the standard for cross-recessed pan head tapping screws with a collar. The screws are commonly available with two types of cross recess drives: Type H (Phillips) and Type Z (Pozidriv), both designed for easy installation and removal.

b) There are two types of thread ends specified in DIN 7970 (Tapping Screws): Type C, which features a cone point, and Type F, which has a flat end.

a) Unlike DIN 912, DIN 7984 screws features a low-profile head and a hexagonal socket drive (Socket thin head cap screws) with metric thread ranging from size M3 to M24

b) DIN 7984 screws have a thinner head because they are designed to be countersunk, allowing them to sit flush with the material surface. However, this design may not provide the same torque transfer capacity as the thicker head of DIN 912 screws, which are designed to handle higher torque due to their thicker cylindrical head shape.

Extremely low head

a) The screw head features a hexalobular socket, often referred to by the generic name “6 lobe”

b) The flat underside of the pan head distributes clamping force over a larger area compared to countersunk or round head screws.

c) Although there may be minor differences in dimensional tolerances or thread requirements, both DIN 7985 (German standard) and ISO 14583 (international standard) specify pan head screws.
