PEEK Hex Socket Cap Screws (DIN 912) – Low-Profile, High-Strength Fasteners

Description

At HPP we have a range of PEEK Socket Cap Head screws in express stock ready to be dispatched from our UK warehouse same day.

All of the PEEK socket cap head screws available on our website are compliant to the DIN912 specification. The standard drive type available for these screws is 6 point hexagonal drive through the use of an Allen key (the drive sizes can be found on the dimensions table).

Modification

Our PEEK Socket Cap Head screws are often used within vacuum systems due to the strength characteristics associated. When blind holes occur within a vacuum, they can trap air which results in difficulty reaching the specified vacuum. HPP offer modification to socket cap head screws and all our fasteners to provide venting for use within vacuum systems. Contact us for more information.

Applications

Socket Cap Head screws are our most popular PEEK fastener and for good reason, they feature the highest head strength while also maintaining all the key characteristics associated with PEEK. Our customers apply these screws to many applications, these include but are not limited to; Formula 1, life sciences, synchrotron equipment and even solar powered watercraft (see our case study on EPFL’s Swiss Solar Boat).

What are PEEK Socket Cap Head Screws?

PEEK (polyetheretherketone) Socket Cap Head screws are a type of fastener that have a cylindrical head with a hexagonal socket in the centre. They are made of PEEK, a type of plastic that is known for its high strength and durability. PEEK is a semi-crystalline, high-temperature plastic that is resistant to chemical and mechanical wear, as well as high temperatures.

Socket Cap Head screws are used to fasten two or more parts together and are tightened using a hexagonal wrench or socket driver. They are known for their strong holding power and are often used in applications where high torque is required. They are also resistant to slipping, which makes them well-suited for use in high-vibration environments.

PEEK Socket Cap Head screws are a good choice for applications where strength, durability, and resistance to high temperatures are important factors. They are also resistant to chemical attack and are resistant to wear and damage from mechanical stress. Like other types of screws, they are available in a range of sizes and thread types to suit different needs.

PEEK Socket Cap Head screws are commonly used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing. They are often used to fasten components such as hinges, handles, and brackets to doors, cabinets, and other structures. They can also be used to fasten electrical components and other hardware in place.
