It features an M16x2 thread with a 55 mm length under head and is fully threaded along its shaft. The screw is driven by a hex socket (Allen key) and is manufactured from alloy steel to material grade 12.9, making it suitable for joints that require high clamping force and resistance to fatigue. The Metric Blue finish provides a degree of surface protection. This fastener conforms to DIN 912, the widely recognized standard for socket head cap screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is used in applications that demand a flush or recessed fastener profile with reliable torque transfer. Typical installation scenarios include machine frames, hydraulic equipment, tooling fixtures, and structural assemblies where a cylindrical socket head is preferred over a hex bolt head. Grade 12.9 alloy steel construction makes it appropriate for high-load environments in both OEM manufacturing and field maintenance contexts. It is installed by machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors working with metric fastener systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM16x2 thread size conforming to DIN 912 standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e55 mm length under head, fully threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel at material grade 12.9 for high clamping strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex socket drive for precise torque application in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMetric Blue finish for surface identification and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 31161501 for procurement classification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style metric fastener for use in any application requiring a DIN 912 socket head cap screw with M16x2 thread and 55 mm length under head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a properly sized hex socket (Allen) driver or wrench bit rated for grade 12.9 fastener torque loads. Always clean and inspect the threaded bore before installation to prevent cross-threading.
