China Hex Socket Screw Manufacturers, Suppliers, Factory

Jinghong Fasteners® Hex socket screws provided by China suppliers are often used in applications where a low profile and a high degree of fastening strength are required. They are commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and machinery applications, as well as in consumer products such as electronics and bicycles. They are also often used in combination with other components, such as washers and nuts, to achieve a secure and reliable connection. Overall, hex socket screws are a versatile and widely used type of fastener that offer a number of benefits in many different applications.

What is the difference between a socket screw and a hex bolt?

A socket screw and a hex bolt are both types of fasteners used for securing objects together, but they have some key differences:

Head shape: The head of a socket screw has a hexagonal socket, while the head of a hex bolt is a six-sided hexagonal shape.

Purpose: Socket screws are typically used in assemblies where a low profile and a high degree of fastening strength are required, while hex bolts are typically used in assemblies where a larger bearing surface is required.

Length: Socket screws are typically shorter than hex bolts and are designed to be screwed all the way into a threaded hole, while hex bolts are often left partially exposed and are used with nuts to secure two parts together.

Thread length: The threads on a socket screw typically extend up to the head, while the threads on a hex bolt extend only partway up the shank.

In summary, while both socket screws and hex bolts are used for fastening purposes, they have different head shapes, purposes, and lengths.
