DIN 912, describes high-strength bolts with a cylinder head structure and hexagon (hexagon) key slot. Widely used in the industry “Imbus Bolt” or “Allen Head Bolt” known as a countersunk bolt. The main advantage of these bolts is that the head can be completely recessed into the countersunk slot cut into the mounting surface, resulting in a smooth and protrusion-free surface. Since the key opening is inside the bolt, it provides ease of installation in narrow spaces where it is not possible to enter the key from the outside. It is produced especially in high strength classes such as 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9 and is indispensable in machine manufacturing.

The most important reasons are “space saving” and “high torque”. To tighten a hexagon head bolt, a large space is needed for the wrench to enter from the outside. With an imbus bolt, there is no need for a gap on the sides of the bolt as the wrench enters from the inside. It also withstands heavy loads because it is produced in very high grades such as 12.9.
Indicates that the tensile strength of the bolt is very high. It is the hardest and most durable standard bolt grade on the market. In molding and heavy machinery, this grade is preferred to minimize the risk of breakage.
Usually grade 12.9 imbus bolts are sold with a “Black Oxide” coating and oiled. This coating provides protection only for storage and light ambient conditions. If it is to be used outdoors or in humid places, galvanized, geometric coating or stainless steel should be preferred.
