Low Profile Socket Head Cap Screws
The head of low head cap screws is 50% smaller than a standard socket head cap screw and the internal socket drive is smaller. Available in plain steel or with a black oxide finish, low profile socket head cap screws are useful in applications with low clearance that will not accommodate the added height of standard head caps. Keep in mind, however, that though low head cap screws can be substituted for standard head cap screws, they cannot tolerate the same preloads. Low head caps are manufactured from steel, alloy steel and stainless steel and certain varieties meet either DIN 7984 or SIP 147 Specifications.
