DIN 933 Hex Cap Screws – Full Thread

ISO Equivalent: ISO 4017 | Metric Hex Bolts – Coarse Thread, Full Thread

DIN 933 defines fully threaded hex head cap screws — versatile metric fasteners for applications requiring maximum thread engagement. Threads run from tip to just under the head, providing flexibility for varying grip lengths.

Why Full Thread?

🔄

Flexible Grip Range

Full threading allows the nut to be positioned anywhere along the bolt length — ideal for varying material thicknesses.

🎯

Tapped Hole Applications

Maximum thread engagement in blind holes. Essential when threading directly into castings or thick plates.

📦

Inventory Simplification

One bolt length can serve multiple grip requirements. Reduces the number of SKUs to stock.

🔧

External Hex Drive

Use standard wrenches or sockets. High torque capacity without cam-out risk.

DIN 933 vs ISO 4017

💡 Are They Interchangeable?

Yes — DIN 933 and ISO 4017 are dimensionally identical and fully interchangeable. The specifications define the same:

  • Thread dimensions and tolerances
  • Head width across flats
  • Head height
  • Property class markings

Coarse vs Fine Thread

📏 When to Use Each Thread Type

Coarse Thread (DIN 933):

  • General-purpose fastening
  • Soft materials (aluminum, plastic)
  • Faster assembly
  • Better for dirty/damaged threads

Fine Thread (DIN 961):

  • Vibration resistance
  • Thin-wall applications
  • Finer torque adjustment
  • Hardened materials
