Metric Blue UST176227 Socket Cap Screw M6x1 12mm

Product Description

The METRIC BLUE UST176227 is a fully threaded socket cap screw designed for high-strength mechanical fastening in precision assemblies. It features an M6 x 1 thread size, a 12 mm length under head, and a hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys or hex bit drivers. Manufactured from alloy steel to material grade 12.9, this screw delivers exceptional tensile strength and is finished in the distinctive Metric Blue coating. It conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 4762 fastener standards, making it a reliable choice for engineers and maintenance professionals working to dimensional tolerances.

This socket cap screw is suited for a wide range of industrial, mechanical, and equipment maintenance applications where a compact, low-profile head and high clamp load are required. The M6 size and 12 mm under-head length make it a common fit for machinery frames, hydraulic components, tooling fixtures, and precision equipment assemblies. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, appropriate for production line stocking or maintenance shop inventory. Machinists, millwrights, and mechanical technicians are the typical installers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or mechanical technician using a properly sized hex key or socket bit to avoid rounding the drive recess. Always verify thread engagement depth and hole preparation against the applicable engineering specification before torquing. Do not mix metric and unified inch fasteners in the same assembly. Refer to the equipment manufacturer's torque specification table for grade 12.9 M6 fasteners, as no torque value is provided with this part listing.
