Metric DIN 916 hexagon socket set screws with cup point are headless and fully threaded screws with an internal hexagonal
drive at one end and a cup-shaped (concave) surface at the other. They are to be inserted through pre-drilled aligned holes
which permit tightening against an opposing shaft. This type of set screw is best used with a shaft made of softer material as
the concave surface grips well and resists movement well. Aspen Fasteners offers one of the most complete ranges of
metric set screws and other inch and metric industrial fasteners for immediate delivery from stock. The following sizes of
DIN 916 hexagon socket set screws with cup point are available for immediate shipping from stock: Diameters ranging from
M1 to M24 with lengths up to 90mm in steel and stainless steel A2 and A4. View parts by clicking on the following link: DIN

DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung - German Institute for Standardization) standards are issued for a variety of
components including industrial fasteners as Metric DIN 916 hexagon socket set screws with cup point. The DIN
standards remain common in Germany, Europe and globally even though the transition to ISO standards is taking
place. DIN standards continue to be used for parts which do not have ISO equivalents or for which there is no need for
standardization. The ISO equivalent DIN 916 hexagon socket set screws with cup point is ISO 4029.

1) Mechanical properties of stainless steel for metric DIN 916 hexagon socket set screws with cup point

Stainless steels can be divided into three groups of steel - austenitic, ferritic and martensitic. Austenitic steel is by
far the most common type (>90% of commercial fasteners). The steel groups and strength classes are designated by a four-
digit sequence of letters and numbers (eg A2-70) as shown in the following table. DIN EN ISO 3506 governs screws and
nuts made from stainless steel.

Screws, Nuts and Bolts

Tensile Tensile
Strength strength strength Dia range Nut Load
Steel group Steel grade N/mm2 PSI
class N/mm2

50 500 70,000 <=M39 500

Austenitic A2 and A4 70 700 100,000 <=M20 700
80 800 118,000 <=M20 800
The tensile stress is calculated with reference to the tensile stress area (see DIN EN ISO 3506-1979). Nuts to be paired
