Camcar® Socket Screws Materials Camcar socket screw products are manufactured from a medium carbon steel, unless otherwise noted. To achieve desired results, one or more alloying elements, such as manganese, phosphorous, molybdenum, silicon, sulfur or boron can be added. Alloying elements allow for strength, ductility, toughness or improved responsiveness to heat treating. All heats of medium carbon steel are checked by STANLEY Engineered Fastening and an independent lab to ensure compliance with application specifications.
Cold Forming Operations Most Camcar socket screws are cold formed. The STANLEY Engineered Fastening cold forming process provides an uninterrupted grain flow through the part, and when complemented with the thread rolling process including radius root run-out threads, improves manufacturing efficiency and reduces scrap material for lower costs. Inside • In high-strength applications, the bearing surface provides high load capacity without compression of the bearing surface material • Smooth fillet at head-shank provides uninterrupted grain flow • Roll formed threads are smoother and more consistent, when compared to machined threads • Radius root threads precision rolled to UNRC and UNRF Class 3A Standard Outside • Deep, straight-sided forged sockets are precisely centered in the head • Radiused corners reduce stress concentrations • Chamfered head perimeter with smooth burr-free finish • Deep straight knurls ease turning by hand
Drive System Availability STANLEY Engineered Fastening is committed to offering the marketplace the high performance in fastening solutions. As such, many of our most popular socket screw products are available with the TORX PLUS® Drive System along with the hex drive system. See how the two drives compare on the following page.

www.StanleyEngineeredFastening.com
Drive System Selection There are several issues impacting proper drive system selection which must be reviewed prior to specification, including: • Does the drive system’s torque capabilities meet the requirements of my application? • Will the drive system withstand the high torque levels used in fastening socket screws? • Is the required tooling readily available? • Will I need separate tooling for inch and metric screws? • Will the drive system enhance my overall operations? In order to answer these questions, it is important to compare the available drive systems. The TORX PLUS® Drive System Developed as an improvement of the original TORX® Drive System, the TORX PLUS Drive consistently outperforms hex and other commonly-used drive systems. Used in virtually every industrialized nation in a multitude of industries, the TORX PLUS Drive System can enhance product reliability, increase productivity, and reduce total assembly costs. The TORX PLUS Drive System offers a 100% improvement in driver bit fatigue life and a 25% average improvement in driver bit torsional strength. In addition, its unique design provides optimum torque transfer and eliminates the need for excessive end load pressure while driving the fastener. The TORX PLUS configuration also virtually eliminates tool camout and slippage that can damage the head of the fastener and cause reduced tool life.
TORX PLUS Drive System vs. Hex Drive The hex drive has weaknesses inherent in its design which can cause problems during assembly. The engagement of the hex drive tool to the recess produces highly concentrated stress at the six corners of the drive tool (see below). Hex Drive
points of contact cause stress risers to develop
contact points round off from driving pressure
With the hex drive, tool and fastener damage is common
TORX PLUS Drive
lobe engagement
broad contact surface for driving The TORX PLUS Drive virtually eliminates tool or fastener damage during installation and removal
This stress at the thin cross-sectional areas of the fastener crushes the corners of the hex tool. This reduces the amount of wrenching engagement, causing reamed socket recesses and/or damaged socket tooling. This type of failure with the hex drive system is so common, it is often accepted as normal practice. The TORX PLUS Drive System features deep engaging lobes with broad contact surfaces that spread out driving forces, preventing stress risers from forming. This minimizes damage to the drive tool and fastener, resulting in longer tool life. Customers have reported driving 2 to 10 times more fasteners per drive tool after switching to the TORX PLUS Drive. TORX PLUS Drive Tooling Availability TORX PLUS Drive tools are readily available throughout the world from licensed manufacturers and authorized distributors. Your existing tooling suppliers and STANLEY Engineered Fastening also carry TORX PLUS Drive tools, in many standard styles and sizes to meet your installation requirements. For service in the field, TORX PLUS Drive fasteners can be removed and reinstalled using commonly available TORX PLUS Drive or TORX Drive tooling. However, in order to fully realize the benefits of the TORX PLUS Drive, including extended bit life, TORX PLUS Drive tools should be used. -8-

Thread Designations and Fits - Inch Sizes The basic method of designating a screw thread is used where the standard tolerances or limits of size based on the standard length of engagement are applicable. The designation specifies in sequence the nominal size, number of threads per inch, thread series symbol, and thread class symbol. The nominal size is the basic major diameter and is specified as the fractional diameter, screw number, or their decimal equivalent. When decimal equivalents are used for size call-out, they shall be interpreted as being nominal size designation only and shall have no dimensional significance beyond the fractional size or number designation. Examples: 1/4-20 UNRC-24A or 0.250-20 UNRC-2A 7/16-20 UNRF-2A or 0.4375-20 UNRF-2A
10-32 UNRF-2A or 0.190-32 UNRF-2A 2-12 UN-2A or 2.000-12 UN-2A
For uncoated standard series threads, these designations may optionally be supplemented by the addition of the pitch diameter limits of size. Example: 1/4-20 UNRC-2A PD 0.2164-0.2127 (Optional for uncoated threads) Designating Coated Threads: For coated (or plated) Class 14 external threads, the basic (max) major and basic (max) pitch diameters are given followed by the words AFTER COATING. The major and pitch diameter limits of size before coating are also given followed by the words BEFORE COATING. Example: 3/4-10 UNRC-2A * Major dia. 0.7500 max AFTER COATING PD 0.6850 max
Major dia. 0.7482 – 0.7353 BEFORE COATING PD 0.6832 – 0.6773 †
* Major and PD values are equal to basic and correspond to those for Class 3A. † Major and PD limits are Class 2A.
Certain applications require an allowance for rapid assembly, to permit application of a proper lubricant, or for residual growth due to high temperature expansion. In those applications when the thread is coated and 2A allowance is not permitted to be consumed by such coating, the thread class symbol is qualified by the addition of the letter G (old symbol for allowance) following the class symbol; the maximum major and maximum pitch diameters are reduced below basic size by the amount of the 2A allowance and followed by the words AFTER COATING, thereby insuring that the allowance is maintained. The major and pitch diameter limits of size before coating shall also be given followed by SPL and BEFORE COATING. Coarse Thread Series: The coarse thread series (UNC/UNRC) is generally used for bulk production of screws, bolts, and nuts. It is commonly used in relatively low strength materials such as cast iron, aluminum, magnesium, brass, bronze, and plastic, because the coarse series threads provide more resistance to internal thread stripping than the fine or extrafine series. Coarse series threads are advantageous where rapid assembly or disassembly is required, or if corrosion or damage from nicks due to handling or use is likely.

Fine Thread Series: The fine threads series (UNF/UNRF) is commonly used for bolts and nuts in high strength applications. This series has less thread depth and a larger minor diameter than coarse series thread. Consequently, more strength is available to external threads than for coarse series threads of the same nominal size. For both fine and Unified Thread (External) coarse series threads, length of engagement in tapped holes must be selected to meet strength requirements. Fine series threads have less tendency to loosen under vibration than coarse series threads, because they provide a higher load capability.

Thread Designations and Fits - Inch Sizes Thread Classes (see Tables I-1 and I-2 on following page): Thread classes are distinguished from each other by the amounts of tolerance and allowance. Classes 2A and 3A apply to external threads only. Allowance is specified only for Class 2A. Tolerance decreases as class number increases (e.g., tolerance for Class 3A is less than that for Class 2A). Class 2A threads are the most commonly used for general applications, including production of bolts, screws, nuts, and similar threaded fasteners. The maximum diameters of Class 2A uncoated threads are less than basic by the amount of the allowance, The allowance minimizes galling and seizing in high-cycle wrench assembly, or it can be used to accommodate plated finishes or other coating. However, for threads with additive finish, the maximum diameters of Class 2A may be exceeded by the amount of the allowance; i.e., the 2A maximum diameters apply to an unplated part or to a part before plating, whereas the basic diameters (the 2A maximum diameter plus allowance) apply to a part after plating. Class 3A threads provide for applications where closeness of fit and or accuracy of thread elements are important. The maximum diameters of Class 3A threads, whether or not plated or coated, are basic, affording no allowance or clearance for assembly at maximum-material limits. Allowance: Allowance is specified only for Class 2A external threads. For Class 2A threads, the allowance may be used to accommodate plating or coating. Allowance is based on Class 2A pitch diameter tolerance for the respective series standard length of engagement and is applicable for all lengths of engagement. Coated Threads: It is not within the scope of the ANSI/ASME Standard to make recommendations for thickness of, or to specify limits for, coatings. However, it will aid mechanical interchangeability if certain principles are followed wherever conditions permit. Only in Class 2A threads is the allowance available to accommodate coatings. Thus, in all other classes of threads, limits of size must be adjusted before plating to provide suitable provision for the desired coating. Unless otherwise specified, size limits for standard external thread Class 2A apply prior to coating. The external thread allowance may thus be used to accommodate the coating thickness on coated pans, provided that the maximum coating thickness is no more than one-fourth of the allowance. Where the external thread has no allowance, or allowance must be maintained after coating, and for standard internal threads, sufficient allowance must be provided prior to coating to assure pitch pitch that finished product threads do not exceed the maximum dia. dia. pitch after before material limits specified. coating

Socket Head Cap Screws 1960 Series - Inch Sizes 18. Table I-5 Notes a. The tabulated LG values are maximum and represent the minimum design grip length of the screw. It is measured from the bearing surface to the face of a GO thread ring gage, having the thread countersink and/or counterbore removed, which has been assembled by hand as far as the thread will permit. The tabulated LB values are minimum and represent the minimum body length of the screw. They are equal to LG minus 5 times the pitch of the UNRC thread for the respective screw size. b. Screws having nominal lengths falling between those for which LG and LB values are tabulated in Table I-5, should have LG and LB dimensions conforming with those of the next shorter tabulated nominal length for the respective screw size. For example: 1/4" screw, 1.88" long, LG=0.50" and LB=0.25". c. For screws of nominal lengths above the sizes shown in Table I-5, the full form threads, measured with a thread ring gage having the thread chamfer and/or counterbore removed, shall extend to within two pitches of the head for sizes 0 through and including 8" and should extend as close to the head as possible for sizes larger than 5/8". Screws over 1" in diameter and of lengths shorter than the minimum thread length (LT plus 5 times the pitch of the UNRC thread for the respective screw size) should have full form threads extending as close to the head as possible. d. For screws of nominal lengths longer than those for which LG and LB values are tabulated in Table I-5 and for screws over 1" in diameter, the maximum grip gaging length L LG and the minimum LTT body length LB of the screws is determined as LT shown in Table I-6: LG = L – LT LB = L – LTT Table I-6: Screws Beyond Sizes In Table I-5 LT

19. Mechanical Properties: The mechanical properties included in the above charts are based on testing that was performed at normal room temperatures. When application environment temperatures fall dramatically below or are substantially higher than room temperatures, certain variables need to be taken into consideration. If temperatures exceed 400° F (204° C), short time tensile, creep and relaxation need to be evaluated. When application temperatures drop below -20° F (-29° C), lower ductility, impact strength and fatigue life should be taken into account. 20. Material: STANLEY Engineered Fastening Socket Head Cap Screws shall be fabricated from an alloy steel having one or more of the following alloying elements: chromium, nickel, molybdenum or vanadium, in sufficient quantity to assure that the specified hardness range of Rockwell C39 – 45 for sizes #0 to 1/2" and C37 – 45 for sized over 1/2" is achieved. Decarburization and carbonization limits shall be the same as those specified for Socket Head Cap Screws in ASTM Specification A 574, Alloy Steel Socket Head Cap Screws.

Applications This product is a high tensile strength fastener designed for use in applications where the material being clamped is of sufficient hardness (generally Rockwell B90/614 MPa ultimate tensile strength for steel and cast iron is adequate for the preload induced by the above seating torques; softer material may require a washer under the head to prevent indentation). The application can be recessed with a counterbore where clearance for open and socket wrenches is a problem. Typical applications include use in a machine assembly, punch press tooling, bearing caps, split collars, etc.

Notes for Table I-10: This data for STANLEY Engineered Fastening inch socket screws was developed through laboratory testing under controlled conditions. The testing was performed with alloy steel socket head cap screw with a black finish, utilizing hardened steel plates and nuts. The threads and bearing areas were lubricated to create the desired testing environment. The suggested seating torques listed in Table I-10 were developed by preloading the fasteners to 75% of their yield strength. This will create a bearing stress under the head of approximately 80,000 psi, which should prevent indentation in joint materials with hardness values of Rockwell B85 and higher. If the joint materials are less than this, it is recommended that washers be used to prevent indentation. However, in some soft joints, much lower preloads may be required. This information is provided to facilitate joint design and proper installation procedures. However, because of the diversity of potential assembly and service conditions, it is not possible to make general recommendations. Each assembly, particularly those of a critical nature, should be analyzed and tested to ensure the desired preload and service life are achieved by the joint. For further design assistance, contact an applications specialist at STANLEY Engineered Fastening. Determining Torque Values Desired seating torque values can be easily determined using the formula T=KDP. ‘T’ is the tightening torque expressed in pounds/inch; “K” (also called “K-factor”) is the torque coefficient; “D” is the nominal diameter of the fastener in inches; and “P” is the tension induced in the fastener when it is torqued as recommended. Using a 1/2" socket screw with UNRC threads, and a “K” factor of 0.21, we can determine a seating torque using Table I-10: T = 0.21 x 5000 x 17,240 gives us T = 1,801 lbs./in. It is important to be aware of the impact that changes in the torque coefficient can have on seating torques and the outcome of the final joint. The “K” factor is a variable figure that is dependent upon the fastener and joint material, their finish, and the lubricity of the threads and heating surface. Typically, alloy steel socket screws have a “K” factor range of 0.19 to 0.25. However, lubricants and other anti-seize compounds which are used in some joints can change the “K” factor by 0.05, or, austenitic stainless steel or uncoated parts can have a “K” factor over 0.35. These ranges can cause significant variations in seating torques, and ultimately impact the life of the fastened joint. Therefore, these suggested seating torques should be used with caution it is the recommendation of STANLEY Engineered Fastening that actual seating torques be determined through proper testing, especially in joints where the control of preload in the joint is critical. Important Note: When extremely high-stressed socket screw fasteners are used in a corrosive environment, the potential for stress corrosion failure increases. You can reduce the risk of failure by not combining highstressed socket screw applications and corrosive environments. - 18 -

Material STANLEY Engineered Fastening standard stainless steel socket head cap screws are made from an austenitic 302 stainless steel. These stainless steel fasteners are designed for use in applications where corrosion, sterility and cosmetic appearance are a concern, such as appliances, food processing, medical and computers. These fasteners can also offer the desired non‑magnetic characteristics for use in computers, electronic and other similar products. An austenitic stainless steel is desired because it allows work hardening of the fastener during the manufacturing process to provide higher tensile strengths and eliminate subsequent heat treating.

Notes for Table I-11 The tensile strength data included in Table I-11 is based on testing that was performed at normal room temperatures. When application temperatures are substantially higher than room temperature, certain variables need to be taken into consideration, including the effect of temperature on term properties and the possibility of plastic deformation or creep. To prevent a change in the material’s metallurgical properties and reduce the risk of corrosion, stainless steel fasteners are typically not specified for applications where temperatures may exceed 800° F. For applications requiring a non-standard grade of stainless steel or a size or length not stocked, contact a STANLEY Engineered Fastening applications specialist for mechanical properties and torquing data.

Notes for Table I-12 Close Fit: Normally limited to holes for those lengths of screws threaded to the head in assemblies in which 1. only one screw is used; or 2. two or more screws are used and the mating holes are produced at assembly or by matched and coordinated tooling. Normal Fit: Intended for: 1. screws of relatively long length; or 2. assemblies that involve two or more screws and where the mating holes are produced by conventional tolerancing methods. It provides for the maximum allowable eccentricity of the longest standard screws and for certain deviations in the parts being fastened, such as deviations in hole straightness; angularity between the axis of the tapped hole and that of the hole for the shank; differences in center distances of the mating holes and other deviations. Chamfering: It is considered good practice to chamfer or break the edges of holes that are smaller than “B” maximum in parts in which hardness approaches, equals or exceeds the screw hardness. If holes are not chamfered, the heads may not seat properly or the sharp edges may deform the fillets on the screws, making them susceptible to fatigue in applications that involve dynamic loading. The chamfers, however, should not be larger than needed to ensure that the heads seat properly or that the fillet on the screw is not deformed. Normally, the chamfers do not need to exceed “B” maximum. Chamfers exceeding these values reduce the effective bearing area and introduce the possibility of indentation when the parts fastened are softer than the screws, or the possibility of brinelling of the heads of the screws when the parts are harder than the screws. - 20 -

Notes For Socket Button Head Cap Screws: 1. Nominal Size: Where specifying nominal size in decimals, zeros preceding the decimal and in the fourth decimal place should be omitted. 2. Head Height: The tabulated head heights represent metal to metal measurements; i.e., the truncation of the rounded surface caused by the socket is not considered part of the head height.
Concentricity is defined as 1/2 the total indicated value obtained by holding the screw by the threads next to the head and indicating the outer surface of the head on the rounded portion, adjacent to, but not on, the extreme periphery of the head.

Decarburization and carburization limits are specified in ASTM F 835 Alloy Steel Socket Button and Flat Countersunk Head Cap Screws. Hardness: Sizes 1/2" and smaller....................Rockwell C39 to 44 Sizes larger than 1/2".....................Rockwell C37 to 44 Tensile Test Load: Standard sizes in both UNRC and UNRF threads must withstand, without failure, the static tensile load values listed in Table I-16 when tested with a suitable fixture which measures axial loading. When tested to failure, screws may fracture in the thread or head. Note: For nonstandard screws, such as diameters and lengths which are not stock production sizes, or screws made from material other than heat treated alloy steel, contact STANLEY Engineered Fastening Decorah Operations. Applications This product is designed and recommended for applications where a lower profile is desired. Wrenchability is significantly reduced due to the smaller sockets and shallower key engagements. Because of the head configuration, this product is not recommended for use in high-strength applications or where maximum fatigue resistance is required.

Socket Flat Countersunk Head Cap Screws - Inch Sizes Notes for Socket Flat Countersunk Head Cap Screws: 1. Nominal Size: Where specifying nominal size in decimals, zeros proceeding decimal and in the fourth decimal place should be omitted.
10. Threads: Threads shall be unified external threads with radius root: Class 3A UNRC and UNRF Series. Acceptability is based on System 22, ANSI B1.3.
2. Body: The term body refers to the unthreaded cylindrical portion of the shank for those screws not threaded to the head.
3. Head Diameter: The maximum sharp values under Column A1 are theoretical values only, as it is not practical to make the edges of the head sharp. The maximum sharp value represents the exact diameter of the hole countersunk to exactly 82° in which a screw having maximum head height will just fit flush.
11. Thread Length LT: The thread length is measured parallel to the screw axis, from the extreme point to the last complete (full form) thread.
4. Head Height: The tabulated values for head height are given for reference only and are calculated to the maximum formulation. 5. Bearing Surface: The axis of the conical bearing surface shall be parallel to the axis of the body within 1°. 6. Fillet: A fillet between the conical bearing surface of the head and the shank (body) of the screw is allowable above the maximum tabulated value for “D” with the value listed for “F”. 7. Length: The length of the screw shall be measured, parallel to the axis of the screw, from the plane of the top of the head to the plane of the flat of the point. The basic length dimension on the product should be the nominal length expressed as a twoplace decimal. 8. Standard Lengths: Standard length increments shall be as designated in the following table: Nominal Screw Nominal Screw Length Up to 1", incl. Over 1" to 2 ½", incl. Over 2 ½ to 6", incl.
0 to 3/8, incl.
7/16 to 3/4 incl.
Tolerance on Length -0.03 -0.03 -0.04 -0.06 -0.06 -0.08
9. Length Tolerances: The allowable tolerance on length shall be as tabulated below: Nominal Screw Length 1/8" to 1/4", incl. 1/4" to 1", incl. 1" to 3-1/2", incl.
Class 3A does not provide a plating allowance. When plated products are required, it is recommended they are procured from STANLEY Engineered Fastening Decorah Operations.
Standard Length Increment 1/16" 1/8" 1/4"
12. Grip Gaging Length LG: The grip gaging length is the distance, measured parallel to the axis of the screw, from the top of the head to the first complete (full form) thread under the head. 13. Body Length LB: The body length is the length of the unthreaded portion of the shank and the head height. 14. Screw Point Chamfer: The point can be flat or slightly concave, and chamfered. The plane of the point is to be approximately normal to the screw axis. The chamfer shall extend slightly below the root of the thread, and the edge between the flat and chamfer may be slightly rounded. The included angle of the point should be approximately 90°. Chamfering of the screw sizes up to and including size 8 (0.164") and lengths below 0.75d. 15. Protrusion: Suitability of socket flat countersunk head cap screw for application in countersinks designed to the principal dimensions of the screws shall be determined by use of a protrusion gage. The protrusion limits shown shall apply only when the gaging diameter is exactly as indicated with the gaging edge of a sharpness obtained by lapping the hole and the top surface of the gage. The top of the head shall be flat within the limits of the protrusion tolerance. 16. Runout: The runout of the socket with the axis of the shank of the screw shall be within 3% of the maximum screw diameter “D” or 0.005, whichever is greater, for nominal sizes through 1/2 inch diameter, and 6% for nominal sizes above 1/2 inch diameter.
- 29 -
Runout for above is defined as the full indicator movement (FIM) obtained by holding the screw on the body or major thread diameter within one diameter of the bearing surface of the head, but beyond the maximum length of the fillet, F, rotating 360° indicating on each of the six hexagon flats.

Screws having nominal lengths falling between those for which LG and LB values are tabulated in Table I-21 should have LG and LB dimensions conforming with those of the next shorter tabulated nominal length for the respective screw size. For example: 1/4 screw, 2.00" long, LG=0.75" and LB=0.50" For screws of nominal lengths above the lines in Table I-21, the full form threads, measured with a thread ring gage having the thread chamfer and/or counterbore removed, shall extend to within two pitches of the head for sizes 0 through and including 5/8", and should extend as close to the head as possible for sizes larger than 5/8". For screws of nominal lengths longer than those for which LG and LB values are tabulated in Table I-21 and for screws over 1" in diameter, the maximum grip gaging length LG and the minimum body length LB of the screws is determined as shown in Table I-22. LG = L – LT LB = L – LTT Where: L = Nominal Length LT = Minimum Thread Length from Table I-22 LTT = Maximum Total Thread Length from Table I-22 L LTT LT

Socket Set Screws - Inch Sizes Notes for Socket Set Screws: 1. Nominal Size: Where specifying nominal size in decimals, zeros preceding decimal and in the fourth decimal place shall be omitted.
7. Threads: Threads shall be Unified external thread; Class 3A, UNRC and UNRF Series. Since standard gages provide only for engagement lengths up to 1-1/2 diameters, changes in pitch diameter of either or both external and internal thread may be required for longer lengths of engagement. Acceptability shall be based on System 22, ANSI B1.3. Class 3A does not provide a plating allowance. When plated products are required, it is recommended that they be procured from STANLEY Engineered Fastening.
2. Socket Depths: The key engagement dimension in Table I-24 shall apply only to nominal screw lengths equal to or longer than the lengths listed in Column “B”. For hex socket key engagement, dimensions in screws of shorter nominal lengths than listed in Column “B” of Table I-24. TORX PLUS sockets in screws shorter than those listed in Table I-24 shall have a key engagement as deep as practicable.
8. Point Angles: The point angles specified shall apply only to those portions of the angles which lie below the root diameter of the thread, it being recognized that the angle may vary in the threaded portion due to manufacturing processes. The point angle or cup points shall be 45°; plus 5° minus 0° for screws of length equal to the nominal screw diameter and longer, and 30° minimum for shorter screws.
CAUTION: The use of set screws having a key engagement shallower than the deepest listed in Table I-24 for the respective screw size can result in failure of the socket, key, or mating thread during tightening because the key engagement and thread length are less than optimum. It is, therefore, strongly recommended that longer screw lengths having deepest minimum key engagements be used wherever possible. 3. Face: The plane of the face on socket end of the screws shall be approximately normal to the axis of the screw, and on screws longer than lengths listed in Table I-24, Column “B”, chamfered. The chamfer shall extend slightly below the root diameter of the thread and the edge between flat and chamfer may be slightly rounded. For screws equal to or shorter than the lengths listed in Column “B", chamfering shall be at the option of the manufacturer. If chamfered, the chamfer angle, “V”, shall not exceed 45°. 4. Length: The length of the screw shall be measured overall, parallel to the axis of screw. The basic length dimension on the product shall be the nominal length expressed as a two-place decimal. 5. Standard Length: The standard length increments for set screws shall be as tabulated below: Length nom.
1/8 through 3/16 3/16 through 1/2 1/2 through 1 1 through 2 2 through 6 over 6
Standard Length Increments in. 0.030 0.060 0.130 0.250 0.500 1.000
9. Oval Point Radius Tolerance: The tolerance shall be +0.015" for screw nominal sizes through 5 (0.125") and +0.031" for screw nominal sizes 6 (0.138") and larger. 10. Half Dog Point Eccentricity: The permissible eccentricity of the half dog axis, with respect to the axis of the thread, shall not exceed 3% of the basic diameter of the screw, and in no case shall be greater than 0.005" for sizes up to and including 3/4". For sizes over 3/4" it shall not be greater than 0.010". (Total runout shall not exceed twice the permissible eccentricity). 11. Cone Point Configuration: The apex of the cone may be flattened or rounded to the extent of 10% of the basic diameter of the screw. 12. Material: Socket set screws shall be fabricated from an alloy steel having one or more of the following alloying elements: chromium, nickel, molybdenum, or vanadium, in sufficient quantity to assure that the specified core hardness range of Rockwell C45 to C53 is met when screw are hardened by quenching from the austenitizing temperature and tempered. Decarburization and carburization limits are specified in ASTM F912, Alloy Steel Set Screws. Hardness:.........................................Rockwell C45 to 53
6. Tolerance On Length: The tolerance on length shall be bilateral as tabulated below: Nominal Screw Length Up to 5/8", incl. Over 5/8" to 2", incl. Over 2" to 6", incl.
Tolerance on Length ±0.01 ±0.02 ±0.03

The axial holding power data in Table I-25 is for cup point set screws and is provided for reference only, as actual holding power may vary by ±25%. It is recommended that laboratory testing of your set screw application be performed to verify results.
Using Socket Set Screws Set screws are most commonly installed in collar-type applications to prevent lateral and rotational movement along a shaft. However, they are also used to hold components together in a wide variety of applications. Due to their distinct manner, several variables must be considered in the selection and use of socket set screws, such as point style, size, drive system, required holding power and more.
Point Selection Point selection is fully dependent upon the application. Considerations in selecting a point style include holding power, frequency of setting and hardness of mating pairs, as well as other variables. The ability to develop holding power will vary between point styles. Type A Cup Point: The most widely used point style, it is considered very effective in securing a variety of components to a shaft. Secure set is enabled by the sharp cup edges’ ability to cut in the shaft. Flat Point: Recommended where continued re‑adjustments are made and minimal mating part deformation is necessitated. Recommended for thin wall thicknesses and/or soft plugs. Type C External Knurled Cup Point: Allows quick and permanent location of collars, gears, knobs, pulleys, shafts, and other similar products. The knurls help the fastener resist rotation -and loosening due to vibration.
Cone Point: Used for permanent location of parts. Deep penetration gives highest axial and torsional holding power. In material over Rockwell C15, the point is spotted to half its length to develop shear strength across the point. Also used for pivots and fine adjustments. Oval Point: Recommended where periodic adjustments are required. This design is beneficial where minimal contact surface deformation is desired. The radial point configuration allows a consistent firm contact when seated in varying degrees from perpendicularity. The oval point is also recommended for use when seating into shaft grooves of varying types. - 34 -
Highest Holding Power Cone Point Cup Point Flat Point Dog Point Oval Point Lowest Holding Power
Half Dog Point: Generally used for the permanent location of one part to another. Point is spotted in hole drilled in shaft or against flat (milled). Often replaces dowel pins. Works well against hardened members or hollow tubing if plastic locking element is used to hold it in place. Type G Internal Knurled Cup Point: Engineered for use in applications normally associated with the cup point. Locking knurls provide additional back out resistance under vibration.

Socket Set Screws - Inch Sizes Holding Power: Whereas socket screws rely on tension to create clamping forces, set screws rely on compression to develop holding power, which is the key component in set screw joints. Holding power, typically defined as the amount of force a setscrew joint can withstand without movement, is created by frictional resistance developed when the set screw is tightened. In set screws joints, there are three types of holding power the engineer should be aware of: axial, torsional and dynamic. In some joints, only one type will affect the joint, while in others all three could affect the joint. Axial holding power is the amount of resistance to lateral movement the set screw can provide. See Table I-25 for the maximum amounts of axial holding power a cup point set screw can offer by size. However, the maximum amounts should never be used, as over-torquing to develop holding power can cause damage to the set screw and a loss of compressive power.
Axial Holding Power
Torsional holding power is the amount of resistance to rotational movement the set screw can provide. Both axial and torsional holding power are considered static, as they are based upon resistance under load. The approximate amount of torsional holding power a set screw Torsional can provide can be determined by multiplying Holding axial holding power by the shaft radius in inches Power (or T=F X R). For example, a 1/4" set screw being used on a 1/2" diameter shaft will provide 1000 lbs. of axial force. Taking 1000 lbs. of axial force (F) times the shaft radius of 1/4" (R) will net a torsional holding power of 250 in-lb. Dynamic holding power is based upon the set screw’s ability to keep the joint fastened under vibration and other dynamic loads. Failure or loosening due to dynamic loading will only occur if the forces acting upon the fastener exceed the axial or torsional holding powers, or there is a deformation of the fastener or engagement material. Holding power can be negatively impacted by such factors as improper hole alignment between the set screw and the axis of the shaft, high lubricity on the mating surface or improper seating torque. In some instances, more than one set screw will be required to attain the holding power required by the application. If more than one is used, the angle between the screws will most significantly affect the holding power. When the second screw is installed at a 180° angle from the first, holding power is increased by only 30%. As the angle between the screws decreases, Multiple Set Screws the overall holding power should increase up to approximately 100%. Actual holding power in your application should be determined through laboratory testing. - 35 -
Size: The diameter of the set screw will depend upon the application and the required holding power. As the diameter of the set screw increases, so does the holding power. For example, a 1/4" set screw typically provides a maximum of 1000 lbs holding power, while increasing the diameter to 5/16" will increase maximum holding power to 1500 lbs. The diameter of the set screw, in most cases, should be approximately half the diameter of the shaft. For example, when using a 1/2" diameter shaft, the set screw should be 1/4" in diameter. Seating Torque: Attaining proper seating torque is key in developing the desired axial and/or torsional holding powers. If the set screw is under-torqued, it will not develop enough compressive force to resist lateral and rotational movement. If it is over-torqued, recess and/or thread damage can occur, which will lead to application damage. Drive System: Most set screw users rely on the hex drive system. However, for high torque set screw applications, or automated assembly situations, the TORX PLUS® Drive System is recommended. Some manufacturers have experienced recess splitting when using hex set screws in high torque applications, causing excessive rework and assembly line downtime. By converting to the TORX PLUS Drive, they are able to drive the set screws at very high torque levels without recess damage. Also, the TORX PLUS Drive allows quicker engagement of the screw on the assembly line for increased production speed. Other Variables: Other issues to consider include the relative hardness of the set screw point and the shaft and the frequency of the screws’ setting – i.e., are they permanent, semi-permanent, or frequently re-set.

Hardened Ground Machine Dowel Pins - Inch Sizes 3. Surface Roughness: The surface roughness on hardened ground machine dowel pins is not to exceed 8 microinches (mathematical average) on the effective length nor 125 microinches (mathematical average) on all other surfaces. Refer to ANSI B46.1, Surface Texture. For pins having additive finishes, these limits will apply prior to coating. 4. End Contours: The ends of hardened ground machine dowel pins are to be reasonably flat and perpendicular to the axis of the pin. One end of the pin shall be pointed and the other end crowned to the dimensions specified in Table I-26. On the pointed end, the edge formed by the surface of point and the end of pin may be slightly rounded or broken. 5. Point Concentricity: For pins having nominal lengths equal to four times the basic pin diameter and longer, the concentricity between the diameter of the point and the pin diameter is to be such that the minimum length of point on the pin is not less than 0.010". 6. Designation: Hardened ground machine dowel pins shall be designated by the following data, in the sequence shown: product name (noun first) including pin series; nominal pin diameter (fraction or decimal equivalent); length (fraction or decimal equivalent); material and protective finish, if required. Examples:
b. Through Hardened Pins: At manufacturer’s option, pins smaller than 1/8" nominal size may be through hardened to a hardness of Rockwell C50 to C58. However, in no instance is the hardness of the pin surface to be softer than that of the core. c. Shear Strength: Hardened ground machine dowel pins are to have a single shear strength of 130,000 psi minimum. They are to be capable of withstanding the minimum double shear loads specified in Table I-27 when tested in accordance with Double Shear Testing of Pins ANSI B18.8.2. d. Ductility: Hardened ground machine dowel pins shall have sufficient ductility to withstand being press into a hole 0.0005" smaller than the nominal diameter in hardened steel without cracking or shattering. 9. Hole Sizes: Because of the wide variety of materials and design requirements in which dowel pins are used, it is not possible to provide hole size recommendations that will be suitable for all applications. The suggested hole sizes in Table I-27 are commonly used from press fitting standard series machine dowel pins into materials such as mild steel and cast iron. In soft materials, such as aluminum or zinc die castings, hole size limits are usually decreased by 0.0005" to increase the press fit.

Socket Screw Standards - Metric Sizes Camcar® metric socket screw threads meet the requirements of ANSI/ASME B1.13M, Metric Screw Threads, M Profile, Coarse Series, with a Tolerance Class of 4g6g or 6g6g. The following provides a quick overview of ISO thread tolerancing. For more information on metric screw thread Tolerance Grades and Positions, refer to ANSI B1.13M. Table M-1: Tolerance Grade and Position Designations Tolerance Grade Amount of Tolerance For Major Dia. For Pitch Dia. 0 3 4 4 6 8 Large
Tolerance Position (Allowance) h
5 6 7 8 9
g
e
NOTE: Be sure to use small letters (h, g, e) to designate external threads; capital letters designate internal threads. Bold numbers in the table above indicate tolerance grade used with normal length of thread engagement.
The thread designations shown in Table M-1 apply to external threads. They are designed to prevent the potential for interference with the desired fit unless specifically designed. Accommodation is provided to vary the amount of tolerance (tolerance grade) and the location of the tolerance starting position (allowance) for both the pitch diameter and the major diameter on external threads. The grade designations can be seen in Table M-1 to the left. A tolerance position of “h” provides no allowance in tolerance, creating a tighter fit. The tolerance position “g” provides some tolerance allowance, while “e” provides the most tolerance allowance. Position "g" indicates an allowance for plating has been built into the size. Proper Thread Designation for Metric Fasteners
Example: M8 x 1.25 4g6g Tolerance Class for Major Diameter Tolerance Class for Pitch Diameter Thread Pitch Nominal Diameter
4g6g Tolerance Position Major Diameter Tolerance Grade Tolerance Position Pitch Diameter Tolerance Grade
Camcar metric socket head cap screws are manufactured to property class 12.9, which is the ANSI B18.3M specification. However, outside the United States, manufacturing of socket head cap screws to other classes is permitted. If your application requires property class 12.9 socket head cap screws, it is important that you verify with your supplier that what you are buying meets those specifications. Combining high-stressed socket screws joints with a corrosive environment increases the risk of stress corrosion failure.

Notes For Metric Socket Head Cap Screws: 1. Body Diameter: The diameter of body throughout the body length shall be within the limits for “D” specified in Table M-4. For screws which are threaded full length, the diameter of the unthreaded portion of shank shall be within “D” maximum and the specified minimum pitch diameter. 2. Head Diameter: Heads may be plain or knurled at the option of the manufacturer, unless specified by the customer. For knurled screws, the maximum head diameter shall be measured across the tops of the knurl portion, or the diameter across the tops of the knurls for those screws not having an knurled portion, just above the radius or chamfer at the bottom edge of the head. 3. Top of Head: The top of head, excluding socket, shall be flat and chamfered or radiused at the periphery. The length of the chamfer or rounding measured on the side of the head shall not exceed the tabulated value for “S”.
4. Bearing Surface: The plane of the bearing surface shall be perpendicular to the axis of the screw within a maximum deviation of 1°. 5. Edge of Head: The edge between the bearing surface and the side of the head may be broken (rounded or chamfered) but the radius or chamfer measured along the bearing surface shall not exceed the values listed for “K”. 6. Total Runout: The total runout between thread, body and head on socket head cap screws shall assemble into a compound hole threaded at one end to the basic thread size (tolerance class 6H minimum) for a depth equivalent to 1.5 times the basic screw diameter, and counterbored at the other end to diameter AE in Table M-7 (page 49), and whose center portion is equal to DE. Diameters DE and AE shall be concentric with the axis of the thread within the equivalent 10% of the thread pitch diameter, The starting thread shall be chamfered and the corner at the junction of diameters AE and DE shall be rounded to a diameter equal to B maximum. - 46 -

Socket Head Cap Screws - Metric Sizes 7. Concentricity: The head shall be concentric with the shank within 2% of the basic screw diameter, or 0.15mm, whichever is greater, FIM (Full Indicator Movement). Concentricity shall be measured with the screw being held within a distance equal to one screw diameter from the underside of head but beyond the underhead fillet. a. Socket True Position: The axis of the socket shall be located at true position relative to the axis of the screw within a tolerance zone having a diameter equal to 3% of the basic screw diameter or 0.26mm, whichever is greater, for nominal screw sizes up to and including 12mm, and equal to 6% of the basic screw diameter for sizes larger than 12mm, regardless of feature size. 8. Underhead Fillet: For all lengths of screws, the form of the underhead fillet shall be optional within the following provisions (see Table M-5): The fillet shall be a smooth and continuous concave curve fairing into the bearing surface within the limits for diameter “B”, with a juncture radius of not less than “F” and blending into the shank at a distance from the head not exceeding “E” as determined at the basic screw diameter “D” (see illustration above Table M-5). 9. Length: The length of the screw is the distance measured on a line parallel to the axis, from the plane of the bearing surface under the head to the extreme end of the shank.

20. Surface Roughness: For alloy steel screws of nominal sizes up to and including 16mm, and nominal lengths equal to and less than 8 times the basic screw diameter, the surface roughness on the screws before plating shall not exceed 1.6 micrometers AA on the fillet and head bearing surfaces, nor exceed 0.8 micrometers AA on the threads.
For larger sizes and longer lengths, the surface roughness of the screws prior to plating shall not exceed 3.2 micrometers AA on the body, fillet and head bearing surfaces.
Normally, it should be sufficient to ascertain that these surfaces on screws have the equivalent of a smooth machined finish by visual comparison with known surface standards. However, where it is practical and deemed necessary to measure those screw surfaces with commercially available equipment, roughness measurements shall be taken axially on the body and fillet surfaces, and circ*mstantially on the bearing surface.

21. Close Fit is normally limited to holes for those lengths of screws threaded to the head in assemblies in which (1) only one screw is used or (2) two or more screws are used but the mating holes are produced at assembly or by matched and coordinated tooling. 22. Normal Fit: Intended for (1) screws of relatively long length or (2) assemblies that involve two or more screws and where the mating holes are produced by conventional tolerancing methods. It provides for the maximum allowable eccentricity of the longest standard screws and for certain deviations in the parts being fastened, such as deviations in hole straightness; angularity between the axis of the tapped hole and that the shank hole; differences in center distances of the mating holes; and other deviations. 23. Countersink: It is considered good practice to countersink the edges of holes which are smaller than “C” max. (see Table M-9) in parts having a hardness which approaches, equals or exceeds the screw hardness. If such holes are not countersunk, the heads of screws may not seat properly or the sharp edges on the hole may deform the fillets on the screws, making them susceptible to fatigue in applications involving dynamic loading. The countersink, or corner relief, should not be longer than is necessary to insure that the fillet on the screw is cleared. The diameter of countersink does not have to exceed “C” max. Countersinks in excess of this diameter reduce the effective bearing area and introduce the possibility of embedment where the parts to be fastened are softer than the screws or of brinelling or flaring the heads of the screws where the parts to be fastened are harder than the screws. 24. Material: STANLEY Engineered Fastening metric socket head cap screws shall conform to property class 12.9 and be fabricated from an alloy steel having one or more of the following alloying elements: chromium, nickel, molybdenum or vandium, in suffidient quantity to assure that the specified hardness range of Rockwell C38 to C44.

Applications This product is a high tensile strength fastener designed for use in applications where the material being clamped is of sufficient hardness – generally Rockwell B90/614 MPa ultimate tensile strength for steel and cast iron is adequate for the pre-load induced by the above seating torques; softer materials may require a washer under the head to prevent indentation. The application can be recessed with a counterbore where clearance for open and socket wrenches is a problem. Typical applications include use in a machine assembly, punch press tooling, bearing caps, split collars, etc.

Notes For Metric Socket Flat Countersunk Head Cap Screws: 5. Concentricity: Concentricity of the thread with the body is to be within 0.13mm per mm of body length (unthreaded portion) full (total) indicator reading taken directly under the head when the screw is held by the full threads closet to the head of the screw and is not to exceed 0.64mm.
1. Body Diameter: The term body refers to the unthreaded cylindrical portion of the shank for those screws not threaded to the head. 2. Head Diameter: The maximum sharp values under Column A1 are theoretical values only as it is not practical to make the edges of the head sharp. The maximum sharp value represents the exact diameter of the hole countersunk to exactly 82° in which a screw having maximum head height will just fit flush. 3. Head Height: The tabulated values for head height are given for reference only and are calculated to the maximum formulation. 4. Flushness Tolerance: The flushness tolerance is the distance the top surface of a screw having the minimum head size will be below the flush condition in a hole countersunk exactly 82° to the maximum sharp dimension listed in Column A1. The top of the head is to be flat within the limits of the flushness tolerance.
6. Socket True Position: The axis of the socket shall be located at true position relative to the axis of the screw within a tolerance zone having a diameter equal to 3% of the basic screw diameter or 0.26mm, whichever is greater, for nominal screw sizes up to and including 12mm, and equal to 6% of the basic screw diameter for sizes larger than 12mm, regardless of feature size. 7. Fillet: A fillet between the conical bearing surface of the head and the shank (body) of the screw is allowable above the maximum tabulated value for “D” with the value listed for “F”. 8. Length Measurement: The length of the screw shall be measured parallel to the axis of the screw from the plane of the top of the head to the extreme end of the shank.

Length Tolerances: The allowable tolerance on length shall be as tabulated below: Nominal Screw Length Standard Length Increment Up to 16mm, incl. ±0.3mm Over 16mm to 60mm, incl. ±0.5mm Over 60mm to 150 mm, incl. ±0.8mm
11. Threads: Unless otherwise specified, threads shall be metric coarse series in accordance with American National Standard, Metric Screw Threads – M Profile, ANSI B1.13M. 12. Thread Tolerance Class: Threads shall be tolerance class 4g6g. For plated screws, the allowance g may be consumed by the thickness of plating, so that the maximum limit of size after plating shall be tolerance class 4h6h. Thread limits shall be in accordance with ANSI B1.13M. Gaging shall be in conformance to System 22 of ANSI B1.3M. 13. Thread Length LT: The thread length is controlled by the grip length LG specified in Table M-14. 14. Grip Length LG: The grip length is the distance, measured parallel to the axis of the screw, from the top of the head to the first complete (full form) thread under the head (see Table M-13). The tabulated LG values are maximum and represent the minimum design grip length, including the reference head height of the screw. They should be measured from the top of the head to the face of a GO thread ring gage, having the thread countersink and/or counterbore removed, which has been assembled by hand as far as the thread will permit. The tabulated LB values are minimum and represent the minimum body length, including the reference head height of the screw. They are equal to LG minus 5 times the pitch of the thread for the respective screw size.

Flat Countersunk Head Cap Screws - Metric Sizes 16. Body Length LB: The body length is the length of the unthreaded portion of the shank and the head height. 17. Point: The end on screws of 5mm nominal size and larger and of nominal lengths equivalent to 1.5 times the basic screw diameter or longer shall be chamfered. The chamfer shall extend slightly below the root of the thread and the edge between the flat, and chamfer may be slightly rounded. The included angle of the point shall be approximately 90°. Chamfering on screw sizes up to and including 4mm and of larger sizes having lengths less than 1.5 times the basic screw diameter shall be optional. 18. Non-tabulated Sizes and Lengths: For screws of nominal length not listed in Table M-14 and for nominal sizes larger than 24mm, the maximum grip length LG and minimum body length LB shall be determined from the following: Maximum grip length: LG = L – LT Minimum body length: LB = L – LTT Where L = Nominal screw length LT = Minimum thread length from Table M-14 LTT = Maximum total thread length from Table M-14

19. Surface Roughness: For alloy steel screws of nominal sizes up to and including 16mm, and nominal lengths equal to and less than 8 times the basic screw diameter, the surface roughness on the screws before plating shall not exceed 1.6 micrometers AA on the fillet and head bearing surfaces, nor exceed 0.8 micrometers AA on the threads. For larger sizes and longer lengths, the surface roughness of the screws prior to plating shall not exceed 3.2 micrometers AA on the body, fillet and head bearing surfaces. Normally, it should be sufficient to ascertain that these surfaces on screws have the equivalent of a smooth machined finish by visual comparison with known surface standards. However, where it is practical and deemed necessary to measure those screw surfaces with commercially available equipment, roughness measurements shall be taken axially on the body and fillet surfaces, and circ*mstantially on the bearing surface. 20. Material: Metric socket button head cap screws shall be fabricated from an alloy steel having one or more of the following alloying elements: chromium, nickel, molybdenum or vanadium, in sufficient quantity to assure that the specified core hardness range of Rockwell C38 to C44 is met when hardened by quenching from the austenitizing temperature and tempered at not lower than 343°C (650°F).

Notes for Metric Cup Point Socket Set Screws: 1. Hex Key Engagement: For screws of nominal lengths exceeding those listed in Table M-18, the minimum key engagement “T” for the longest lengths shown shall apply. They represent the minimum key engagement depth necessary to develop the full functional capability of keys conforming to ANSI Metric Series Hexagon Keys and Bits, ANSI B18.3.2M-1979. Compliance with minimum depth requirements shall be determined by gaging in accordance with Table A-7, page 71. CAUTION: The use of set screws having a key engagement shallower than the deepest listed in Table M-18 for the respective screw size can result in failure of the socket, key, or mating thread during tightening because the key engagement and thread length are less than optimum. It is, therefore, strongly recommended that longer screw lengths having deepest minimum key engagements be used wherever possible. 2. TORX PLUS Drive Key Engagement: “I” shall apply for nominal lengths exceeding those listed in Table M-18. Screws shorter than those listed in Table M-18 shall have a key engagement as deep as practicable.

8. Threads: Unless otherwise specified, threads shall be the metric course series in accordance with ANSI Metric Screw Threads – M Profile, ANSI B1.13M. 9. Thread Tolerance Class: Threads shall be ISO Tolerance Class 4g6g. For plated screws, the allowance “g” may be consumed by the thickness of the plating, so that the maximum limit of size after plating shall be Tolerance Class 4h6h. Thread limits shall be in accordance with ANSI B1.13M. See Table M-2 on page 45, wherein the limiting dimensions applicable to threads before and after plating are given for reference purposes. The allowable “g” shown therein for those sizes has been increased over that specified in B1.13M. However, because the minimum limits are unchanged, the screws will be totally interchangeable. 10. Thread Gaging: At the maximum material limit, threads must be acceptable to thread GO ring gages conforming to American National Standard, American Gaging Practice for Metric Screw Threads, ANSI B1.16M. For the minimum material limit, threads shall be gaged with an indicating type gage having best wire size, single rib, radial contacts spaced 120 degrees apart, set with the respective Class W tolerance thread setting plug gage. Since standard gages provide only for engagement lengths up to the equivalent of 1.5 times the thread diameter, changes in pitch diameter of either or both external or internal threads may be required for longer lengths of engagement. 11. Points: Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser, Camcar metric socket set screws shall have a cup point conforming to the dimensions in Table M-18. 12. Point Angles: The point angles specified shall apply only to those portions of the angles which lie below the root diameter of the thread, it being recognized that the angle may vary in the threaded portion due to manufacturing processes. The point angle or cup points shall be 45°; plus 5° minus 0° for screws of length equal to the nominal screw diameter and longer, and 30° minimum for shorter screws.

Socket Set Screws - Metric Sizes Holding Power: Whereas socket screws rely on tension to create clamping forces, set screws rely on compression to develop holding power, which is the key component in set screw joints. Holding power, typically defined as the amount of force a setscrew joint can withstand without movement, is created by frictional resistance developed when the set screw is tightened. In set screws joints, there are three types of holding power the engineer should be aware of: axial, torsional and dynamic. In some joints, only one type will affect the joint, while in others all three could affect the joint. Axial holding power is the amount of resistance to lateral movement the set screw can provide. Contact an applications specialist for the maximum amounts of axial holding power a cup point set screw can offer by size. However, the maximum amounts should never be used, as over-torquing to develop holding power can cause damage to the set screw and a loss of compressive power.
Axial Holding Power
Torsional holding power is the amount of resistance to rotational movement the set screw can provide. Both axial and torsional holding power are considered static, as they are based upon resistance under load. The approximate amount of torsional holding power a set screw can provide can be Torsional determined by multiplying axial holding Holding Power power by the shaft radius in meters (or T=F x R). For example, a M6 set screw being used on a 0.012 m diameter shaft will provide 4000 N of axial force. Taking 4000 N of axial force (F) times the shaft radius of 0.006 m (R) will net a torsional holding power of 24 Nm. Dynamic holding power is based upon the set screw’s ability to keep the joint fastened under vibration and other dynamic loads. Failure or loosening due to dynamic loading will only occur if the forces acting upon the fastener exceed the axial or torsional holding powers or there is a deformation of the fastener or engagement material. Holding power can be negatively impacted by such factors as improper hole alignment between the set screw and the axis of the shaft, high lubricity on the mating surface or improper seating torque. In some instances, more than one set screw will be required to attain the holding power required by the application. If Multiple Set Screws more than one is used, the angle between the screws will most significantly affect the holding power. When the second screw is installed at a 180° angle from the first, holding power is increased by only 30%.
- 59 -
As the angle between the screws decreases, the overall holding power should increase up to approximately 100%. Actual holding power in your application should be determined through laboratory testing. Size: For example, a M6 set screw typically provides a maximum of 4000 N holding power, while increasing the diameter to M8 will increase maximum holding power to 6200 N. The diameter of the set screw, in most cases, should be approximately half the diameter of the shaft. For example, when using a 12mm diameter shaft, the set screw should be M6 in diameter. Seating Torque: Attaining proper seating torque is key in developing the desired axial and/or torsional holding powers. If the set screw is under-torqued, it will not develop enough compressive force to resist lateral and rotational movement. If it is over-torqued, recess and/or thread damage can occur, which will lead to application damage. Drive System: Most set screw users rely on the hex drive system. However, for high torque set screw applications, or automated assembly situations, the TORX PLUS® Drive System is recommended. Some manufacturers have experienced recess splitting when using hex set screws in high torque applications, causing excessive rework and assembly line downtime. By converting to the TORX PLUS Drive, they are able to drive the set screws at very high torque levels without recess damage. Also, the TORX PLUS Drive allows quicker engagement of the screw on the assembly line for increased production speed. Other Variables: Other issues to consider include the relative hardness of the set screw point and the shaft; and the frequency of the screws’ setting – i.e., are they permanent, semi-permanent or frequently re-set.

An Overview of Bolted Joint Design To assure proper bolted joint design, there are many critical factors to consider and steps to take; some are more important than others. The following is designed to provide only a basic discussion of proper joint design. A complete discussion of the topic would be impossible to cover here. If you would like more information on this topic, consult the ASTM International online library at www.astm.org, the most recent Fastener Standards by the Industrial Fasteners Institute, or your STANLEY Engineered Fastening applications specialist. Designing the Joint Bolt joint design is an iterative process, in that the designer will rely on trial and error, past experience, and their judgement to make some design decisions. As experience and knowledge increases, the designer is able to make better judgements regarding the effect of certain design parameters and decisions. However, regardless of the size, application or operating parameters of a joint, there are some steps which are commonly undertaken. 1. Define the purpose of the joint: In this step, define what the joint is designed to do, environmental conditions, cost targets, size and operating parameters, desired life, critical nature, potential failure modes and any other factors involved in the purpose of the joint. 2. Begin to design the joint: Determine the layout of the joint, including joint members, size, shape and material.
Clamp
3. Estimate service loads: Estimating service loads is a difficult but very important step, especially in critical joints. The static and dynamic loads to be considered include weight, pressure, shock, inertial effects, thermal effects, etc. Load intensifiers, such as prying and eccentricity, should also be considered. 4. Define bolts to be used: With the joint geometry and service loads established, the bolt size, number and strength can be determined. Bolt selection should include material, diameter, thread pitch, length, tensile strength, head style, drive style, thread style, hardness and finish. 5. Determine required minimum and maximum preload and minimum and maximum clamp load: The minimum and maximum preload at assembly should be selected to achieve the desired minimum and maximum clamp load for proper function of the joint throughout the life of the product. The minimum clamping force should be great enough to overcome vibration loosening, joint separation, slippage, fatigue, leakage and other similar type failures. Maximum clamp force should not be great enough to cause bolt yielding, joint crushing, stress cracking, fatigue failure, tensile failure or other similar failures in service.

Axial Loading
www.StanleyEngineeredFastening.com
An Overview of Bolted Joint Design 6. Determine tightening methods and assembly line accuracy. During assembly, there are different fastener assembly methods and tightening strategies which must be considered. With these come variances in the accuracy of achieving desired preloads, K factors and the required tightening torque to achive the bolt preload range. Among the potential tightening strategies and their preload accuracy are: Torque: ±35% Torque-Angle: ±15% Torque-to-Yield ±7% These should be considered before finalizing the joint design, so necessary adjustments can be made to ensure the joint remains reliable during service life. In determining torque for achieving desired preload, the following equations should be used: T=KDP Tension
7. Finalize joint design: At this point, it may be necessary to make changes in the joint material, bolt preload range, bolt selection, tightening methods, etc., depending upon what was determined during the other steps of the joint design process. 8. Test the application: While joint design continues to become a more exact science as the technical knowledge of fastening increases, there is yet to be a fail-safe method that can eliminate the need for testing in realworld conditions, especially in critical joints. It is highly recommended that testing be performed to prove your joint design and ensure your application achieves the desired level of reliability.
Screw Diameter K Factor (nut factor) Torque
For example, a 1/4" socket screw with UNRC threads and using a K factor of,0 .21 would have a minimum yield strength of 5,073 lbs. Using 75% of that, 3,805 lbs., gives us the pounds of tension induced in the bolt. Consequently, the formula becomes T=0.21 lbs x 0.25 in. x 3805 = 200 in-lb

There are two basic factors to consider in tapped hole strength and cost. These are hole depth and tap drill diameters. The deeper the hole, the greater the tapping time and possibility of tool breakage. The smaller the tap drill diameter, the greater the power required to tap and possibility of tool breakage. Generally, the following minimum engagement lengths are used: • Hardened steel: 1 diameter • Soft steel and cast iron: 1.5 diameters • Aluminum and plastic: 2 diameters These values vary slightly depending on the percent of thread tapped.

Hexagon Socket Gaging - Metric Gaging of Metric Sockets Acceptability of sockets shall be determined by the use of the hexagon socket gages specified. The hexagon sockets shall allow the GO member of the gage to enter freely to the minimum key engagement depth. The NOT GO gage member shall be permitted to enter only a depth equivalent to 10% of the nominal socket size for nominal socket sizes up to and including 1.5mm, and to 7.5% of the nominal socket sizes for larger sockets.
Edge of Socket The edge at junction of the socket with the face may be broken (rounded or chamfered) providing the depth of chamfer or rounding will not cause violation of the NOT GO gage penetration limits specified. Broached Sockets For hexagon broached sockets at or near the maximum limit of size, the overcut resulting from drilling shall not exceed 20% of the length of any flat of the socket.
To determine the acceptability of sockets in plated products after plating, a GO gage identical in design and tolerances to that shown except having a width across flats dimension equal to the nominal key size shall be employed.

TORX PLUS® Socket Gaging - Inch & Metric The applicable penetration gaging depths for various sizes and styles of TORX PLUS socket head screws are specified in the dimensional tabulations for the respective screw types and/or the TORX PLUS Engineering Standards. Tamper-resistant TORX PLUS recesses are available in most head styles. Contact STANLEY Engineered Fastening Decorah Operations for application assistance. Gaging Two varieties of penetration gages for acceptance inspection purposes are available. The dial indicating the type as shown in Figure 1, and the hand plug type as depicted in Figure 2. The dial type is preferred, due to its ease of use and broader versatility. Gage members applicable to both types of gages are available.
Figure 1
Gaging Procedure All penetration gaging shall be performed relative to the top surface of the screw head. In the case of head styles having rounded top corners, measurements shall be taken from the actual intersection of the top surface of the head with the socket counterbore. Dial Type Gages The dial penetration gage shall be set at “zero” while the nose surface of gage is pressed flush against a flat surface. The GO gage member shall then be oriented such that it enters freely into the socket and with the nose of gage head pressed against the screw head, the penetration depth read directly on the dial. The gage member shall be rotated with respect to the socket so that a minimum of three adjacent lobes of the socket are engaged by a common lobe on the gage to unsure that all dimensions and radii are checked. All readings so taken shall be equal to or exceed the specified minimum GO gage penetration. Hand Plug Type Gages The GO gage member on hand type gages must be etched, step relieved, ground off to length or otherwise processed to properly demark the extent of the specified minimum penetration depth for the respective size and head style of the screw under inspection. Therefore, the hand-type gage members can not be used for various depths and screw head styles. The GO end of the gage shall be inserted, parallel to the axis of the screw, into the socket and shall enter freely to a depth such that the minimum penetration demarcation is flush with or below the top of the screw head. The gage member shall be rotated with respect to the socket so that a minimum of three adjacent lobes of socket are engaged by a common lobe on the gage to insure that all dimensions and radii are checked.

• Denotes location of manufacturer’s I.D. Warning: Inch standard and metric Class 12.9 socket head cap screws are considered comparable. However, outside the United States, manufacturing of socket head cap screws to other classes is permitted. If your application requires property class 12.9 socket head cap screws, it is important that you verify with your supplier that what you are buying meets those specifications. Combining high-stressed socket screws joints with a corrosive environment increases the risk of stress corrosion failure. - 73 -

Elements added to Camcar Socket Screws The steels used to manufacture Camcar socket screw combine carbon, iron and various other elements. These elements are added to improve the fasteners’ physical properties and characteristics. Typically, alloying elements are added to perform one or more of the following functions: improve heat response, achieve desired work hardening rate, and/or refine the grain structure. The effects of base elements iron and carbon, as well as the alloying elements added to Camcar socket screws, are outlined below. Base Elements Iron (Fe): Iron is the base for carbon and stainless steels. It is typically considered detrimental in aluminum, brass and other similar metals. Because pure iron does not provide sufficient strength or heat treat response and is soft and ductile, alloying elements are necessary.
Alloying Elements, continued Chromium (Cr): Chronium is an alloying element for both alloy and stainless steels. This additive is designed to increase strength, toughness, hardness and wear resistance. At high temperatures, it helps resist corrosion and scaling. If a steel has over 4% chromium content, it may be considered a stainless steel.
Carbon (C): The carbon element in steel provides strength, hardness and wear resistance. It is found in both alloys and stainless steels. If the carbon content of stainless steel is too high, it can negatively effect the steel’s ability to resist corrosion. Carbon steel fasteners fall into the following groups:
Columbium (Cb): Columbium, used in some microalloys, is also called niobium. It refines the grain structure of the material in order to improve heat treat response and work hardening rates.
1. Low carbon: This material has low carbon content, typically less than 0.3%, and provides poor heat treat response in large diameter parts. Carbon content is sufficient for properly heat treating smaller diameter parts. Typically used in low strength applications. 2. Medium carbon: This material has sufficient carbon content, typically over 0.3%, to allow heat treatment for higher tensile strength. However, since it contains no alloying elements, as the size of the fastener increases, the strength of the fastener decreases because it can’t be hardened to full depth. 3. Alloy steel: Carbon steel fasteners are considered an alloy steel when they contain a specified minimum level of manganese, silicon, copper, aluminum, boron, columbium, molybdenum, chromium, nickel, titanium, vanadium and/or any other element added to achieve a specific effect. Also, the chromium content is less than 4%. If it is more than 4%, then it is stainless steel. The elements following are added to attain specific physical properties. Alloying Elements Aluminum (Al): Added to alloy steels, aluminum restricts grain growth and control grain size in nonheat-treatable stainless steels. When used in nitriding steels in amounts of 1 – 1.25%, it produces uniformly hard and strong nitrided case. Boron (B): Boron is a very effective and economical additive for improving heat treat response in alloy steels. It is added in amounts as small as 0.003%. If boron has been added to the raw material, the letter “B” will appear in the name. For example, 4037 steel is designated 40B37 when it contains boron.
Copper (Cu): Copper in small amounts is found in materials such as 302HQ stainless steel and is the major element in brass and other similar materials. It is added for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. Manganese (Mn): Manganese is considered a universal element since it is a key ingredient in virtually all steels. It improves tensile strength, hardness, response to heat treat and surface quality. Molybdenum (Mo): Molybdenum is added to both alloy and stainless steels. It increases strength, toughness, hardness, response to heat treat, machinability and corrosion resistance. Also, molybdenum enhances the effects of other alloying elements. Nickel (Ni): Used in alloy and stainless steels, nickel increases strength and hardness and assures more consistent results from heat treat. In high-chromium content stainless steels, it helps to resist corrosion and scaling at high temperatures. Nitrogen (N): Used in some alloys, microalloys and stainless steels, nitrogen significantly increases work hardening rates. In some alloy steels with aluminum or chromium content, it acts as a nitriding or carbonitriding agent to provide an extremely hard case after heat treat. Silicon (Si): Like manganese, silicon is a universal element. It increases strength, hardness and formability. Sulfur (S): Sulfur is added to 430F stainless steel and other steels, with manganese, to approve machinability. Titanium (Ti): Titanium is used in some microalloys and stainless steels for resistance to carbide precipitation. Vanadium (V): An additive for some alloys and microalloys, vanadium increases strength and hardness, while improving toughness and high temperature mechanical properties.

NOTE: Heat treated fasteners with platings such as electroplatings and zinc are susceptible to hydrogen-assisted failures. If your application requires these types of platings, please contact the application specialists at our Decorah Operations to discuss the concerns related to hydrogen failures and thread fit, as well as proper finish selection. Galvanic Corrosion Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals are in contact with an electrolyte, which is a medium through which an electrical current can flow. The rate of corrosion depends on the difference in electrical potential, or anodic-cathodic relationship, of the metals in the joint as defined by the Galvanic Series (see table at right). A highly anodic material in contact with a highly cathodic material will corrode much more quickly than two highly cathodic materials or when the materials used are closer together in the Galvanic Series. When corrosion does occur, the anodic material is the most likely to corrode, whereas the cathodic material is the least likely to corrode. To reduce the likelihood of galvanic corrosion in a fastened joint, it is recommended the designer choose materials that are grouped together in the Galvanic Series chart. If that is not possible, other recommendations are 1. Select materials which are as close together in the chart as possible 2. Provide a barrier between the two metals, such as paint, non-metallic washer or gasket 3. Design the fastener as the cathode so the cathodic area is small compared to the anodic area 4. Use a metallic finish on the fastener that is close on the chart to the mating material. - 78 -

Nylon Locking Elements The nylon locking method consists of a nylon patch, strip or pellet, permanently bonded onto or embedded into the threads of any fastener. Whether your application requires patch, pellet or strip, this method provides a degree of holding power not otherwise possible. The principle is the same for all three types. When mating threads are engaged, the tough, resilent nylon element is compressed, and, with all the clearances thereby closed, a strong counterforce is established. This creates a metal-to-metal contact, which not only locks, but also sets up a positive resistance to vibration.
How a Nylon Locking Element Works Lock • A pellet, strip or patch extends from the fastener thread. • As the mating threads engage, the element is compressed and a counterforce is generated, which locks the fastener in place. • The screw will remain locked even after repeated use.
metal-to-metal contact
The nylon element allows an excellent degree of re-usability for the system. It retains its high strength properties at temperatures up to 250° F. It is also virtually unaffected by alcohol, gasoline, caustic soda and most commercial solvents. This element can be added to standard parts or built into any special fasteners as needed. STANLEY Engineered Fastening applications specialists can recomment the proper locking method for any specific application, based on such factors as type of material, complexity of the parts, hardness, wall thickness, etc.
Adjust • Nylon locking elements keep the fastener in place, whether the screw is seated or not. • The positive locking action along with the resilency of the nylon material prevent the fastener from shaking loose or backing out. • Accurate adjustments are easy to make without sacrificing the nylon element’s locking capability.

Crack: A clean, crystalline fracture which passes through or across the grain boundaries without inclusion of foreign elements.
Major Diameter: On external threads, the thread’s largest or outside width.
Minor Diameter: On external threads, the thread’s smallest or inside width. Body: The unthreaded portion of a fastener, also called the shank.
Body Diameter: Width of the unthreaded portion of the shank. Bolt: Typically, an externallythreaded fastener which requires a nut in order to secure a joint.
Case Hardened: Heat treated fastener in which the surface is harder than the core.
Chamfer Angle: The slope of a beveled edge on the fastener, measured from the normal to the axis of the fastener. Clamp Load: The amount of pressure in a fastened joint in service. This may vary during service life.
Elongation: The stretching of a bolt along its axis during tensile loading.
Fatigue Strength: The ability of a fastener to resist fracture when subjected to cyclic variations in stress.
Fillet: The concave junction of two intersecting surfaces of a fastener. Fit: The resulting range of tightness which may occur due to the application of tolerances and allowances in the mating joint members.
Load Flank: The top portion of each thread which applies the clamp load pressure to the mating threads.
- 80 -
Pitch Diameter: The measurement in which the distance across the grooves is equal to the distance across the threads. Preload: The amount of force put on a fastener once assembly is complete. Proof Load: The amount of force a bolt can withstand before permanent plastic deformation will occur. Rockwell Hardness Test: Procedure designed to measure the hardness of the fastener, given in an alphanumerical scale. The higher the number, the harder the fastener. Socket screws are typically in the “C” scale, which is the hardest Rockwell designation, but the scale designation is dependent on the size of the socket screw. ASTM standards require socket screws products meet specific Rockwell Hardness standards. Rockwell test are utilized to test for decarburization and carburization and to determine the amount of resistance to permanent deformation during the testing procedure. They also assure that heat treating was performed to the specification.

Runout Thread: The thread section that is between the last scratch of the thread and the fillet or body. Screw: Typically an externallythreaded fastener which does not require a nut in order to secure a fastened joint.
Seam: A narrow, noncrystalline, continuous discontinuity, which is generally inherent in the raw material. Seams are usually straight or smooth-curved line discontinuities running parallel to the product axis.
Shank: The unthreaded portion of a fastener, also called the body.
Shear Strength: Resistance to transverse loading. Transverse loads should only be applied to a dowel pin or the unthreaded section of a screw; otherwise, thread deformation will occur. Shear strength is measured in terms of pounds (lb.) or kilonewtons (kN).
Through Hardened: Heat treated fastener with uniform hardness from the surface to the core.
Torsion: Twisting force applied to a fastener, parallel to the axis. Yield
Socket Depth: The distance measured parallel to the fastener axis from the top of the head to the extreme end of the recess.
Tensile Strength: The maximum load in tension (stretching) that a part can carry without failure. Expressed in pounds per square inch (psi) or megapascals (MPa).
Stress
Root: The base of the V thread. This is the weakest point on a fastener, because it has the smallest cross-sectional area.
Strain 0.2%
Yield Strength: Measurement of the resistance of material to plastic deformation. When a bolt is stretched, yield strength is the point where the bolt will not return to its original length following testing. It is measured in pounds per square inch (psi) or megapascals (MPa). Yield strength is often determined by the offset method illustrated above.
Tensile Stress Area: The selected area or areas used to calculate the tensile strength of an externally threaded fastener, so the fastener strength is consistent with the material strength. It corrects for the notch and helix effect of the threads and is a function of the pitch and minor diameters.
