Why are engineers so enthusiastic about using hexagon socket screws?
We all know that the outer edge of the screw head of an internal hexagonal screw is round, and the middle is a concave hexagon. This structure actually has obvious advantages.
1. It can withstand larger loads. It has six load-bearing surfaces, making it more capable of withstanding tightening compared to flat screws and cross screws with only two surfaces.
2. Internal hexagonal bolts can be countersunk during use, meaning that the entire nut is sunk into the interior of the workpiece, which can maintain the flatness and aesthetics of the workpiece surface.
3. Compared to the outer hexagon screws, the inner hexagon is suitable for more assembly situations, especially narrow ones. Therefore, it is very convenient for assembly and maintenance, as well as for debugging.
4. The tools we commonly use in daily life include adjustable wrenches, screwdrivers, and solid wrenches. However, when disassembling the hexagon socket bolts, a specialized wrench must be used, so it is not easy for most people to disassemble, which is also a benefit.
