Sockethead Cap Screws

OMB Warehouse stocks a range of Mini bike socket head cap screws that are well suited for any fastening applications in mini bikes that are in a confined space. Socket head cap screws are machine screws with a cylindrical barrel shaped head containing a hexagonal socket. The head has a smaller diameter than most other machine screw heads, typically just 1.5 times the nominal thread diameter. Socket cap screws may also be referred to as a socket head cap screw, a cap head socket screw or hex socket head screw.Fastening for these components requires no external clearance, which is typical of screws such as a hex head for it to accept a spanner or socket. These properties mean that Mini bike socket head cap screws are well suited for use within confined spaces like engines and hard-to-reach places in mini bikes. Socket cap screws are often used with the head recessed within a counterbored hole, leaving the end of the head flush with the surface of the part being fastened. This produces a clean appearance and leaves no protrusions that could catch or be damaged, making them popular in sporting equipment. As compared to ordinary fasteners, fewer socket screws of the same size can achieve the same clamping force in a joint.
