Stainless Steel Allen Socket Head Bolt - Grade 202, 304, 316, A2, A2-70

Allen Socket Head Bolts, also known as Socket Head Cap Screws, are precision fasteners designed for applications requiring high strength and compact installation space. The cylindrical head with an internal hexagonal socket allows high torque tightening using an Allen key, making them ideal for machinery, automotive assemblies, tooling fixtures, and structural components. Gemstar Allen bolts are manufactured using premium stainless steel and high-tensile alloy steel, ensuring excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life even in demanding environments. They are produced in compliance with international standards including DIN 912, ISO 4762, IS 2269, and ANSI/ASME B18.3 , Grade 202, 304, 316 for complete dimensional accuracy and interchangeability.
