Overview
SIST EN ISO 4028:2004 is an international standard that specifies the characteristics of hexagon socket set screws with dog points, covering thread sizes from M1.6 up to and including M24. This standard is published by CEN (European Committee for Standardization) and is aligned with ISO 4028:2003. It applies to product grade A screws, ensuring consistency in dimensions, mechanical properties, tolerances, and finishes for this category of fasteners.
Hexagon socket set screws with dog points are specialized mechanical fasteners widely used in various industries due to their reliable holding capacity and ease of assembly/disassembly using hex keys. This standard is essential for manufacturers, engineers, and quality assurance professionals working with threaded fasteners in mechanical design and assembly.
Key Topics
Dimensions and Thread Sizes: The standard defines detailed specifications for thread sizes from M1.6 to M24. It includes pitch values, maximum and minimum diameters, point geometry, and overall screw length options. Dimension designations follow ISO 225 for symbols and dimensional terminology.
Mechanical Properties and Material Grades: It references key related standards such as ISO 898-5 for carbon and alloy steels, ISO 3506-3 for stainless steel fasteners, and ISO 8839 for non-ferrous metals. Product grade A is covered with defined strength classes such as 45H for carbon steel screws.
Manufacturing Tolerances and Quality: Tolerances for screw threads correspond to ISO 261, ISO 965-2, and ISO 965-3, ensuring reproducible thread fits. Surface quality and discontinuity limits conform to ISO 6157-1, while acceptance inspection follows ISO 3269 protocols. Electroplating and coating requirements are referenced from ISO 4042 and ISO 10683 respectively.
Thread and Socket Design: The hexagon socket feature includes specifications on socket depth, diameter, and permissible overcuts. The dog point geometry is detailed for both short and long point styles, impacting fastening performance in various applications.
Designation Format: The standardized method to describe these fasteners includes screw type, thread size, length, and property class - e.g., "Hexagon socket set screw ISO 4028 - M6×12 - 45H."
Applications
Hexagon socket set screws with dog points are primarily used in precise mechanical assemblies where:
- Secure fastening without protrusion is required, preventing snagging or interference in assemblies.
- Repeatable adjustments are common, as the hex socket allows easy screwdriver or Allen key access.
- Reliable positioning is needed inside machinery, such as locking shafts, fixing collars, or securing cams.
- Metalworking and automotive industries rely on these fasteners for their strength, precision, and low-profile head design.
- Electronics and instrumentation use smaller sizes ensuring secure holds in delicate assemblies.
The dog point end provides alignment and prevents damage to the mating surface, improving overall assembly accuracy.
Related Standards
To ensure interoperability and quality, SIST EN ISO 4028:2004 references other important standards that complement the specifications for hexagon socket set screws with dog points:
- ISO 225 – Symbols and designations of fastener dimensions.
- ISO 261 & ISO 965 Parts 2 and 3 – Thread general plans and tolerances.
- ISO 898-5, ISO 3506-3, ISO 8839 – Mechanical properties of fastener materials (carbon steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous).
- ISO 4759-1 – Tolerances for fasteners, especially for product grade A.
- ISO 6157-1 – Surface discontinuities standards for fasteners.
- ISO 3269 – Fastener acceptance inspection procedures.
- ISO 4042 & ISO 10683 – Electroplated and zinc flake coatings for corrosion resistance.
- ISO 23429 – Gauging of hexagon socket dimensions.
Compliance with these standards ensures the fasteners meet international quality and performance criteria, vital for global supply chains and engineering applications.
