Jun 01,2022 / BY DEVELOPERS
A screw is a tool that uses the physical and mathematical principles of the circular rotation and friction of an object to fasten the mechanism of the object step by step. A screw is a common term for fasteners, an everyday colloquial language. Screws are indispensable industrial necessities in daily life: tiny screws used in cameras, glasses, clocks, electronics, etc.; general screws for televisions, electrical products, musical instruments, furniture, etc.; large-scale screws are used in engineering, construction, and bridges Screws and nuts; transportation equipment, airplanes, trams, automobiles, etc. are used together with large and small screws. Screws have important tasks in industry. As long as there is industry on earth, the function of screws will always be important. The screw is a common invention in people's production and life for thousands of years. According to the application field, it is the first invention of mankind.
The main function of the screw is to connect the two workpieces together and play the role of fastening.
The main categories include ordinary screws, machine screws, self-tapping screws and expansion screws.
Cap screws used to be limited to full-thread fasteners.
Hex cap screw and Hex bolt Hex bolt As the name suggests, it is a male threaded fastener with a hexagonal head, designed to be turned with a wrench. According to the ASME B18.2.1 standard, the head height and shank length tolerance of the hexagon head screw (Hex cap screw) is smaller than that of the general hex bolt (Hex bolt), so the ASME B18.2.1 hexagon screw is suitable for installation in all hexagon bolts that can be used. places, also including places where the large hex bolts are too large to be used.
Socket cap screw (also known as socket head screw or) is a screw with a hexagonal inner hole on the head, which can be tightened or loosened only after a hexagonal ruler (hex key, Allen wrench or Allen key) is inserted into the inner hole. The most commonly used hexagon socket head screws are cylindrical head screws with a head diameter of about 1.5 times the main diameter of the thread (1960 series). Countersunk head cap screw. The counterbore design allows the screw head to rotate without being exposed on the surface of the fixed object, so it is mostly used in places where the surface is small and traditional wrenches are inconvenient to use.
Machine screw is generally a screw with a diameter of less than ¼ inches, usually full teeth and rotated by a screwdriver, such as slotted, cross or hexagon socket.
