The 12 Point Flange Screw is a high-performance fastener with a head featuring twelve corners and an enlarged flange support surface at the bottom. Its head shape adopts a double hexagonal design, combining the twelve-point drive and an integrated flange structure, specifically designed for high torque and resistance to vibration loosening.
This 12 Point Flange Screw is commonly used in automotive transmission systems, engine blocks, aircraft engines and high-strength industrial equipment. It is an ideal solution for replacing traditional hexagonal head bolts and internal hexagonal cylindrical head screws. The twelve-sided drive surface design allows the use of Ring spanner or twelve-sided sockets, enabling 30° repositioning operation in narrow spaces compared to standard hexagonal heads, resulting in higher installation efficiency.
Core advantage
The core advantages of the 12 Point Flange Screw are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
(1)Twelve-point head type
More contact surfaces: The twelve-point head type has twice as many contact surfaces as the hexagonal head, enabling it to withstand higher tightening torque without damaging the head.
Sliding angle risk is low: The force distribution is more uniform, making it suitable for applications requiring high preload.
(2)Integrated Flange
Self-contained flange surface: No additional gaskets required. The serrated or embossed structure at the bottom of the flange cooperates with the surface of the workpiece, generating strong frictional force.
High vibration resistance: It can maintain the preload even in a vibrating environment, suitable for dynamic load areas.
(3)Easy installation, saves space
30°rotation: The twelve-point head can be rotated by 30° to insert into the wrench for repositioning. This saves half the space compared to the 60° rotation of the hexagonal head. Suitable for limited space.
(4)Large bearing area
The enlarged flange surface increases the contact area: effectively disperses pressure and prevents soft materials such as aluminum and cast iron from being deformed.
