SIST EN ISO 14586:2012 Overview

SIST EN ISO 14586:2012 is an international standard specifying the characteristics of hexalobular socket countersunk head tapping screws. Developed by ISO/TC 2 "Fasteners" and adopted by CEN, this 2011 edition standardizes tapping screws with thread sizes ranging from ST2.9 to ST6.3 inclusive. It supersedes the earlier 2001 edition, ensuring up-to-date specifications for design, dimensions, material, mechanical properties, and tolerances of these specialized fasteners.

The hexalobular socket design, also known as the Torx drive, improves torque transfer and reduces cam-out compared to traditional screw drives. Countersunk heads enable a flush finish in assembled components, making these screws ideal for high-quality mechanical and industrial applications.

Key Topics

  • Scope: Defines hexalobular socket countersunk head tapping screws from ST2.9 to ST6.3 thread sizes.
  • Dimensions: Precise dimensions and tolerances for screw threads, head geometry, and hexalobular sockets are detailed, following ISO 225 for symbols and ISO 7721 for head gauging.
  • Materials and Mechanical Properties: Screws made from heat-treated steel per ISO 2702, ensuring high strength and durability.
  • Thread Specifications: Threads conform to ISO 1478, ensuring compatibility and performance.
  • Surface Coatings: Electroplated coatings follow ISO 4042, while non-electrolytically applied zinc flake coatings adhere to ISO 10683.
  • Product Grades: Product grade A tolerance requirements per ISO 4759-1 guarantee consistent quality.
  • Inspection: Acceptance inspections are done conforming to ISO 3269 standards.
  • Designation Format: Clear product designation system used, for example, "Tapping screw ISO 14586 - ST3.5 × 16 - R" where “R” denotes round end.

Applications

SIST EN ISO 14586:2012 hexalobular socket countersunk head tapping screws serve numerous practical applications:

  • Automotive Industry: Used in vehicle assembly for fastening lightweight panels and components with a smooth surface finish.
  • Electronics and Electrical Assemblies: Ideal for securing components requiring reliable torque control and minimal cam-out.
  • Industrial Machinery: Durable fastening in equipment and machinery where countersunk heads reduce interference and aid assembly aesthetics.
  • Construction: Used in fastening thin sheet metals and materials where a flush screw head finish is needed.
  • Furniture and Appliance Manufacturing: Enhances product design by allowing concealed fastening with strong hold.

Their hexalobular drive design reduces wear on tools and improves fastening efficiency, contributing to cost-effective and reliable assembly processes.

Related Standards

To ensure full compliance and interchangeability, SIST EN ISO 14586:2012 references several complementary international standards:

  • ISO 225 – Dimensions and symbols for bolts, screws, studs, and nuts.
  • ISO 1478 – Thread specifications for tapping screws.
  • ISO 2702 – Mechanical properties of heat-treated steel tapping screws.
  • ISO 3269 – Inspection criteria for fasteners.
  • ISO 4042 – Standards for electroplated coatings on fasteners.
  • ISO 4759-1 – Tolerance grades for fasteners including screws.
  • ISO 7721 – Countersunk head screw dimensions and gauging methods.
  • ISO 10664 – Hexalobular internal driving features.
  • ISO 10683 – Non-electrolytically applied zinc flake coatings on fasteners.

These complementary standards provide detailed technical specifications enabling manufacturers and users to maintain consistent quality, mechanical performance, and surface finishes.


SIST EN ISO 14586:2012 is essential for engineers, manufacturers, and quality assurance professionals seeking standardized tapping screws with hexalobular drives and countersunk heads. Adhering to this standard ensures compatibility, strength, and aesthetic fastening solutions suitable for diverse industrial sectors.
