Button head socket cap screws are designed to provide a tight, secure fit in a wide variety of applications. They are commonly used in automotive and industrial applications, as well as in many other settings. Button head style socket cap screws work by threading into a pre-tapped hole in the material being fastened. The button head provides a large surface area for torque to be applied, making it easy to tighten the screw securely. These screws are also easy to remove and reuse, if necessary.

Slightly Larger Than the Diameter of the Screw Shaft

The screws are used in a wide variety of applications, from fastening electronic components to automotive and aerospace assemblies. They have a unique button head, which is slightly larger than the diameter of the screw shaft. This provides a large contact area for the screwdriver, making it easier to drive the screw into place. The button head also helps to distribute the load evenly, preventing stripping and damage to the screw threads. Socket cap screws are available in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, brass, and aluminum. 

Strong and Reliable Connection

They are also available in different head styles, such as flat head, pan head, and button head. Socket cap screws are generally used when a clean, finished look is desired. They are also used when it is important to prevent the screw from protruding beyond the surface of the material being fastened. Cap screws are typically installed with a hex wrench or Allen key. When button head socket cap screws are used properly, they provide a strong, reliable connection. However, if they are not installed correctly, they can loosen over time and eventually fall out. 

Heavy Machinery or Automotive Parts

This can be dangerous in some applications, such as when the screws are used to secure heavy machinery or automotive parts. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully when installing these screws. If you are unsure about how to correctly install them, it is best to consult a professional. Socket cap type screws are a versatile and reliable fastening option, but they must be used correctly to ensure a safe and secure connection. Contact Coburn-Myers today to learn more!
