What should I consider when making thin low profile socket head screws?
Recently, Shi Shi Tong screw manufacturers often receive inquiries for low profile socket head screws. Basically, the customer’s requirements for the thickness of the head of this screw are very strict, and it is hoped that the screw manufacturer can make it very thin.
If we make the head of the low profile socket head screws very thin, the inner hex groove is basically hit inside the shank. If the hex is very shallow, then we are prone to slipping when using it. But the hexagon socket is too deep, we have to consider the risk of breaking the head (the head is too thin).
In addition, we must also consider the size of the hexagon socket. If the hexagon socket is too large (more than the diameter of the stem), then the low profile socket head screws cannot be formed. When making full thread, the diagonal of the rod from the hexagon socket is less than 0.5mm, then the thread will break when it is produced. If the customer must have such a large hexagon socket, then it is necessary to The diameter of the rod portion at the position where the hexagon socket groove is located is made large, leaving a part of the blank portion without dentition.
Therefore, when thinning the head, the diameter of the thread, the size of the hexagon socket side, and the groove depth should be considered. The dimensions of these places are unreasonable, and it is impossible to form.
