Allen screws are the screws of choice when bolts and nuts are not available. Allen (Allen) screw drivers provide six load surfaces for the screw and can be used with an Allen wrench (Hexagonal key). This makes the screw more resistant to cam dislodgement than most other drives.
The socket head screw type allows you to achieve higher torque and clamping force compared to other screws of the same size. This, in turn, allows you to use fewer Allen screws than you would otherwise install. Less hardware reduces the weight of the final application. Fewer screws also reduce costs and the time required to drill and tap surfaces.
Allen screws are also known by different names such as Allen screws, Allen drive screws, Allen screws, Allen cap screws, Allen screws, Allen screws, and Allen screws.
Many in the industry simply call them socket screws, but note that this is also the name of a different screw type used in light sockets. Regardless of which name you use, the socket head screw type is preferred when bolts and nuts cannot be used. Cylinder head screws have a smaller profile than other fasteners, making them ideal for use in tight spaces.
