Standards, types and application
The countersunk head requires a compatible seat. For the same thread, an ISO head may be wider or higher than the corresponding DIN head: check dk, k, socket depth and component countersink.
Reduced-loadability heads require the applicable marking and standard criteria. Material property class alone does not establish the breaking load of a full-loadability screw. Nylon has polymer-specific properties and limits.
Hexalobular TX versions are distinct drive geometries and must not be ordered as hexagon-socket screws.
Configure your enquiry
Select the diameter and enter the required length in the specifications, together with material, finish and quantity. Dueemme will confirm supply in its quotation.
The size you need, including custom specifications
Other diameters, lengths, materials and finishes can be assessed on request. For dedicated production, we agree geometry, requirements and minimum quantities with the customer.
