About this product

Socket Head Allen Bolt (Cap Screw) explained

Socket head cap screws are the standard high-strength fastener for machinery, and we stock DIN 912 / ISO 4762 in Umm Al Quwain from M4 to M42 in 12.9, 10.9 and 8.8 plus stainless A2 / A4 — black oxide, zinc plated or plain — with Allen keys, washers and nuts to suit.

A socket head cap screw (Allen bolt) has a cylindrical head with a hexagon socket, driven with a hex key. The small head diameter allows close spacing and counterbored, flush installation; the 12.9 material gives the highest strength of any standard fastener (1,220 MPa tensile). Cap screws are used wherever compact, high-clamp-load fixings are needed — machine tools, hydraulics, dies and precision equipment.

Applications

  • Machine tools, presses and automation
  • Hydraulic manifolds, cylinders and pumps
  • Moulds, dies and press tooling
  • Gearboxes, couplings and bearing housings
  • Robotics, conveyors and packaging machinery
  • Engine, compressor and turbine assemblies

Standards, grades & finishes

Screws to DIN 912 / ISO 4762 (also ISO 4762 low head DIN 7984 and ISO 12474 fine thread), property class 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9 to ISO 898-1, stainless A2-70 / A4-80 to ISO 3506. Threads ISO 965 6g. Imperial ASME B18.3 alloy steel from stock. Finishes black oxide, zinc plated, zinc flake (Geomet), plain stainless. Lot-traceable with mill certificates.

This item is imported from approved mills and held in stock in our Umm Al Quwain warehouse alongside the anchor bolts, studs and plate washers we manufacture ourselves, so complete bolt sets ship from one source. Tensile, hardness and chemical testing is carried out by independent UAE-accredited laboratories, and EN 10204 3.1 certificates are issued with every batch. We supply across the GCC, MENA and Africa.

Frequently asked

Socket Head Allen Bolt (Cap Screw) — FAQ

What is the difference between DIN 912 and ISO 4762?

Practically interchangeable — ISO 4762 has slightly different head heights and socket sizes for some diameters (M10, M12, M14). Both are stocked.

Should 12.9 cap screws be zinc plated?

Electroplating 12.9 carries a hydrogen embrittlement risk; we recommend black oxide or zinc-flake coating, or 10.9 zinc plated with baking.

What torque for a 12.9 M12 cap screw?

About 130 Nm dry (lubricated ~100 Nm) — refer to the torque table on our Technical Data page for your finish and thread.
