Allen Bolt (Socket Head Cap Screw)

They are twisted using a hexagon-shaped key, also known as Allen wrenches, hex-key wrenches, or hex keys. In circumstances where there is not enough clearance to utilize a fastener with an exterior hexagon head, socket head cap screws are frequently used. These bolts are commonly used in applications requiring high strength, precision, and a clean, flush finish. Allen bolts can withstand high torque, making them suitable for demanding applications. The cylindrical head with the recessed socket allows for a flush or near-flush surface, which is aesthetically pleasing and helps prevent snagging. They don’t require much clearance for installation, making them ideal for tight spaces.
