Special low head screw NYLOK

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 966 refers to a standard for countersunk raised head screws with a cross recess drive (commonly Phillips or Pozi)

b) The screw head is partially countersunk but has a domed or raised top, providing a semi-flush and decorative appearance.

a) A self-tapping screw for thermoplastics is a specialized fastener designed to create its own threads as it is driven into plastic materials.

b) These screws have wider, sharp, and deep threads, which allow them to cut into the softer thermoplastic material efficiently, creating a secure, long-lasting hold.

a) DIN 7500 specifies self-tapping screws for metal, also known as thread-forming screws. These screws are designed to form or cut threads in a pre-drilled hole in metal materials, without requiring a pre-cut thread.

b) The screw shank has a three-lobe shape instead of a round cross-section, which reduces friction during installation, and facilitates smooth material displacement and efficient thread formation.

c) The long dog point (the extended, unthreaded tip of the screw) acts as a pilot, helping to align the screw with the pre-drilled hole during installation, and faciliates smooth installation.

d) A standard trilobe thread forming screw without dog point is avaialble upon request.

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.
