DIN 7991 countersunk flat head socket screw with hex drive for flush-fitting applications

DIN 7991 Hexagon Socket Countersunk Head Screws

DIN 7991 is a standard that specifies the dimensions and requirements for hexagon socket countersunk head screws. These screws are designed to sit flush or below the surface of the material, providing a smooth and even finish. They are commonly used in applications where aesthetics, space-saving, and a secure fastening solution are essential.


Key Features

Hexagon Socket Drive

  • Designed for use with Allen keys or hex wrenches.
  • Provides better torque transmission and reduces the risk of slippage.

Countersunk Head Design

  • Ensures a flat surface after installation, preventing obstructions.
  • Ideal for applications requiring aerodynamic efficiency or aesthetic appeal.

Material Options

  • Carbon Steel (for standard industrial use).
  • Stainless Steel (for corrosion resistance).
  • Alloy Steel (for high-strength applications).
  • Additional coatings (e.g., zinc plating, black oxide) can be applied for enhanced protection.

Industry Applications

  • Automotive – Used in body panels, chassis components, and engine parts.
  • Electronics – Secures components in devices while maintaining a sleek profile.
  • Aerospace – Used in aircraft and spacecraft where weight and aerodynamics matter.
  • Machinery & Robotics – Provides reliable fastening without protruding parts.
