DIN 7991, refers to bolts with a tapered head and hexagonal key slot, designed so that the head is flush with the surface when installed. In the industry “Countersunk Imbus” known as a countersunk bolt. The most distinctive feature of these bolts is that the part needs to be countersunk beforehand for assembly. When the bolt is tightened, the head is embedded in the material and there is no protrusion. This prevents moving parts from catching on the bolt head and provides an aesthetic, smooth appearance. Compliant with ISO 10642 standard. Generally used in machine covers, automotive interiors and precision instruments.

“L” shaped Allen Key is used to tighten these bolts.
Generally used for exterior cladding, boat/yacht decks and food machinery. Since it does not protrude on the surface, it does not retain water and is easy to clean, as well as providing an elegant appearance.
No. Unlike other bolts, countersunk bolts (DIN 7991) are measured from end to end (total length). Because the bolt is completely embedded in the surface, the total area it occupies in the material is important. If you measure incorrectly, the bolt will be short.
