Metric Blue UST179766 Socket Cap Screw M6x1 70mm

Product Description

The METRIC BLUE UST179766 is a metric socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and machine assembly work. It features an M6x1 thread, a 70 mm length under head, and a hex socket drive for use with standard Allen or hex key tooling. The screw is partially threaded and manufactured from alloy steel to a 12.9 material grade, making it one of the highest-strength classifications for metric fasteners. A Metric Blue finish provides a measure of corrosion resistance and visual identification. This fastener conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 4762 standards and is typically installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers.

This socket cap screw is suited for applications requiring a high-clamp-load fastener in confined or recessed spaces where a hex socket drive is preferred over an external hex or slotted head. The 12.9 alloy steel construction handles demanding load and vibration conditions found in industrial machinery, tooling fixtures, hydraulic components, and precision mechanical assemblies. The partially threaded shank provides a smooth bearing surface in the upper portion of the fastener, which is important in shear-load or clearance-hole applications.

Key Features

• M6x1 thread with 70 mm length under head for deep fastening reach
• Alloy steel, 12.9 material grade for maximum tensile and proof load strength
• Partially threaded shank suitable for clearance-hole and shear-load installations
• Hex socket drive compatible with standard Allen keys and hex socket tooling
• Metric Blue finish for corrosion resistance and grade identification
• Conforms to DIN 912 and ISO 4762 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 912 and ISO 4762 compliant M6x1 socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 12.9 grade metric hex socket fastener with a 70 mm length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a properly sized hex key or Allen socket. Always verify thread engagement depth and mating thread condition before installation. Do not mix metric and unified inch fasteners in the same assembly. Torque to the value specified by the equipment manufacturer for 12.9 grade M6 fasteners as found in the relevant service documentation.
