STARVAST 100pcs Phillips Modified Truss Head Wood Screws, Black Stainless Steel Self Tapping Screws (M4 x 16mm)

Product Information

The round washer is a screw head which provides a larger bearing surface in applications where a round head is preferred. It is quite similar to the Modified Truss head style. Square (Set Screw) There’s also a triple square with three Robertson’s squares, creating a 12-point star. Triple squares are most commonly used when you need a high level of force without stripping the screw. You’ll see them mostly on internal car parts, like drivetrain components. 26. Torx Oval head machine screws have a countersunk head with a rounded top surface and a cone-shaped 82 degree bearing surface. The oval style is often preferred over a flat head in conical applications, or when a more decorative look is required. Oval undercut machine screws are similar to the standard oval head style except that the head is undercut 70% of its normal side height. The oval undercut style is standard in shorter lengths because it allows greater length of threads. Pan

Truss head machine screws have a low, rounded top surface with a flat bearing surface greater in area than a round-head screw of the same nominal size. They are not as strong as pan or round heads but often preferred in applications where minimal clearance exists above the head. The truss head provides a trim and finished appearance. Machine Screw Drive Styles Hex Slotted/ Hex Unslotted Another benefit of truss head screws is better load distribution. All truss head screws have a wide head. Along with a round shape, this is one of their defining characteristics. When installed, the wide head will distribute the load while subsequently protecting the part or parts from damage. Similar to other tamper-resistant designs, these hex screws prevent tampering with a small pin in the center of the drive. 21. Square Recess Heads A Phillips tamper-resistant screw is just like a Phillips drive screw with one big exception. It includes a small pin in the center of the screw drive that prevents you guessed it tampering. Truss head and pan head screws have a similar shape. They are both rounded, and they are both non-countersunk. You can also find them in different head recesses. Whether truss head or pan head, screws are available in different head recesses. The head recess, of course, determines the type of bit with which a screw can be installed and removed. Some truss head screws and pan head screws have a Philips head recess, whereas others have a flat head recess.

A dome head screw with a deep slot, these are special types of screw heads. Also called binding head screws, they typically have a 10% larger bearing surface than pan head screws. Flat – slotted head screw Truss heads are very useful for sheet metal work, insulation, and cabinetry-- an ideal choice for applications that require large holes, as the wide head prevents the screw from going through the hole. Machine screws are often referred to as small bolts because their ends are not pointed, and some styles are known as stove bolts. The ‘binding’ type is a commonly used screw head type. It is an ideal choice for electrical applications; beneath the head is a prominent undercut area providing space for wire connections. Metric Oval is a rounded head with a 90° is a countersunk cone-shaped bearing surface. Preferred over a flat head in conical applications, or when a more decorative finished look is desired. The countersunk surface nests into mating countersunk applications. Inch Oval is the same as metric but with an 82-degree cone.

Fillister machine screws have a rounded top surface, cylindrical sides, and a flat bearing surface. The greater side height is what distinguishes a fillister head from a pan head. A fillister machine screw is the preferred style for use in counterbored holes. This head style is commonly known as a cheese head style. Flat Sentinel screws offer high-level protection because you can only drive them one way. They’re challenging to remove, so they’re best for permanent fixtures. 34. 2-Hole Screws The ‘hex washer’ head is an updated, more commonly used version of the hex head. It is characterised by an attached washer style flange under the head, creating a large surface connection area. It is sometimes used in combination drives, with phillips or slotted drives. OvalScrew head drive types all have varying levels of holding power, resistance to cam out, and ease of use with different tools. Knowing the specific characteristics of each screw drive can help ensure that you use the right screw for the job, which can help increase the overall efficiency, accuracy and quality of your work.

The Flat 82+ head is used for flush surfaces. They are standard countersunk flat head screws. Flat 82+ Undercut Flange screws are sometimes referred to as frame screws. The head of these screws can vary from circular to hexed, and it juts out from a circular flange directly underneath the head. Star-shaped heads encompass several different styles that form shapes that resemble stars. The double-square drive has two Robertson’s squares that form an 8-point star in the middle. You can use a Robertson’s bit to drive it or use a special one for the double-square for higher torque application. Different screw-head types all have their pros and cons. Each serves a specific purpose, which underlines the fact that not all screws are appropriate for every application. Know the advantages and disadvantages of each before choosing any screw, which will you avoid surprises. The ‘round’ head is less commonly used these days, but it offers a round-surfaced alternative to other screw heads. Round CountersunkBeing that they look similar, you might be wondering how truss head and pan head screws differ from each other. The main difference lies in their profile. Truss head screws typically have a lower profile than pan head screws. Some screws require matched mating parts, which means you’ll need the size of the screw thread. Examples include machine screws, which can be secured into a tapping hole or with a nut, and captive screws. Your screw thread measurement depends on whether or not you’re dealing with metric threads or unified screw threads.
