M2 x 18mm Torx Raised Countersunk DIN 966T A2 Stainless Steel

M2 x 18mm - Torx Raised Countersunk Screws DIN 966TX -A2 Stainless Steel | Vital Parts -TRCS966T-M2-18-A2

Our Torx Raised Countersunk Machine Screws, also known as Torx Raised Countersunk Heads, are high-performance fasteners designed for secure and durable installations. Manufactured to DIN 966TX standards, these screws provide excellent resistance to wear, corrosion and mechanical stress, making them ideal for applications requiring strength and reliability.

The raised countersunk design allows these screws to sit within a pre-countersunk hole while slightly protruding with a domed finish, offering a professional and aesthetically pleasing appearance. These screws can also be used with finishing washers for non-countersunk flat surfaces. The Torx drive, also known as a hexalobular drive, enhances torque transmission, reducing the risk of tool slippage compared to traditional hex or Phillips drives.

What Are Torx Raised Countersunk Screws?

Torx Raised Countersunk Screws are specialized machine screws that feature a slightly domed head when installed in a countersunk hole. This unique design provides a clean, semi-flush appearance while maintaining the strength and security of a countersunk fastener.

The Torx drive system ensures higher torque transfer, reducing the likelihood of cam-out (slipping of the tool), making these screws particularly effective for applications requiring strong and secure fastening. They are commonly used with washers and nuts to hold components together securely.
