Product Information

Full details

The Unifix Socket Head Cap Screws (M5 x 16) are professional-grade fasteners designed for hobbyists and industrial engineers who require reliable, high-strength connections in machinery and structural builds. Manufactured to the DIN 912 standard, these silver-finished screws offer excellent corrosion resistance and a secure fit via the socket head design, though users should ensure their project specifically requires the M5 x 16 dimensions before purchasing to avoid compatibility issues.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does DIN 912 stand for?

DIN 912 is a German standard that defines the dimensions and mechanical properties of hexagon socket head cap screws.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, they feature corrosion resistance, making them suitable for most outdoor applications, though extreme marine environments may eventually require stainless steel variants.

What is the diameter and length of these screws?

These screws have a 5mm diameter (M5) and a 16mm threaded length.

How many screws are included in one box?

Each box contains 500 individual pieces.

Can these be used with a power drill?

Yes, provided you use an appropriate hex bit attachment and keep the drill speed low to avoid stripping the socket.

Troubleshooting

Screw is difficult to turn

Check the hole for debris or metal shavings; ensure the threads are properly aligned before driving.

Internal hex socket is rounding out

Ensure you are using a high-quality hex key that is not worn and that it is fully seated in the screw head.

Fastener is vibrating loose

Consider using a medium-strength thread locker to secure the fastener in high-vibration applications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets rigorous DIN 912 industry standards
  • Easy to drive with standard hex keys
  • Excellent corrosion resistance for long-lasting use
  • Large bulk quantity reduces the need for frequent restocking
  • Suitable for both professional and home workshop environments

Cons

  • Requires specific hex key sizes for installation
  • Not intended for applications requiring non-metallic fasteners
  • Fixed M5 diameter and 16mm length limits application versatility

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply align the threaded hole and use an appropriately sized hex key (Allen wrench) to drive the screw until flush. Do not overtighten, as this may strip the threading or the internal hex socket. When working in high-moisture environments, periodically inspect the fasteners for surface oxidation. While they are corrosion-resistant, cleaning them with a dry cloth after heavy exposure to contaminants will extend their service life. Always verify thread pitch compatibility with your existing holes before insertion.
