DIN 7991 Countersunk Socket Head Screws

DIN 7991 Countersunk Socket Head Screws feature a 90° countersunk head that sits flush with the surrounding surface when properly installed. This head design keeps the fastening point smooth and unobtrusive, while the internal hex drive provides direct tool engagement without requiring additional space around the screw head.

The flush-fitting design is particularly useful for components where a protruding fastener could interfere with movement, assembly, or the finished surface. DIN 7991 screws are available in a range of metric sizes, including M3 to M24, with carbon and alloy steel as well as stainless steel options for different mechanical and environmental requirements. They are commonly used in machinery, equipment, metal components, brackets, fixtures, and precision mechanical assemblies where a clean surface finish and compact fastening arrangement are important.

Mechanical Property

Carbon and Alloy Steel DIN7991 Screw— ISO 898-1

DIN 7991 countersunk socket head screws made from carbon and alloy steel are available in different property classes, including 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9, depending on the specified requirements. ISO 898-1 defines their mechanical and physical properties, including tensile strength, yield strength, proof load and hardness. The appropriate property class should be selected according to the required clamping force and service conditions.

Stainless Steel DIN7991 Screw— ISO 3506-1

For stainless steel DIN 7991 countersunk socket head screws, ISO 3506-1 specifies mechanical properties according to the stainless steel grade and property class. Common options include A2-70 and A4-70, depending on the required strength and corrosion resistance. Relevant properties include tensile strength and 0.2% proof stress, with requirements varying according to the specified grade, property class and applicable dimensions.
