Metric Blue UST179768 Socket Cap Screw M6x1 100mm

Product Description

The METRIC BLUE UST179768 is a metric socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in demanding mechanical and industrial applications. Built to DIN 912 standards, it features an M6 x 1 thread, a 100 mm length under head, and a hex socket drive for high-torque installation with an Allen key or hex bit. Manufactured from alloy steel at material grade 12.9, it delivers high tensile strength suitable for structural and load-bearing assemblies. The Metric Blue finish provides a base level of corrosion resistance. This screw is partially threaded, making it well suited for clamping applications where the shank must pass through a clearance hole before engaging the threaded portion.

This fastener is used across a wide range of mechanical, industrial, and manufacturing applications including machine frames, fixtures, tooling plates, and equipment assemblies that call for a high-strength metric cap screw. It is appropriate for both production environments and maintenance or repair work where DIN 912 socket head cap screws are specified. Typical installers include machinists, millwrights, mechanical assemblers, and maintenance technicians working with metric-specification equipment.

Key Features

• DIN 912 standard socket cap screw geometry ensures dimensional interchangeability
• Grade 12.9 alloy steel construction provides high tensile and proof load capacity
• M6 x 1 thread with 100 mm length under head for deep-reach fastening
• Partially threaded shank allows precise clamping without thread engagement through the full grip length
• Hex socket drive accommodates standard Allen keys and hex drive bits
• Metric Blue finish for identification and light surface protection

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 912-compliant M6 x 1 socket cap screw suitable for any application or assembly requiring a Grade 12.9 metric hex socket fastener of this thread and length specification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic, machinist, or assembler familiar with metric fastener torque requirements for Grade 12.9 hardware. Use a properly sized hex key or socket to avoid rounding the drive recess. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Follow applicable equipment or assembly specifications for seating and load requirements.
