ISO 14581 hexalobular countersunk screws factory
XZ Fastener supplies ISO 14581 hexalobular countersunk screws for buyers who need flush head seating, controlled drive engagement, and stable repeat production from a factory source. These metric machine screws use a six-lobe internal drive and a countersunk head, making them suitable for panels, covers, equipment housings, and assemblies where the screw head should sit level with the surface. Carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel options can be supplied with plain, zinc plated, black oxide, nickel plated, or passivated finishes according to order requirement. Share drawings, size lists, quantities, packing details, and inspection needs for quotation review.
Quick Specs
What Buyers Should Know Before Sourcing ISO 14581 Hexalobular Countersunk Screws
ISO 14581 screws combine a countersunk head with a hexalobular internal drive. The head is designed to sit flush after assembly, while the six-lobe recess helps transmit torque more steadily than many conventional recessed drive forms. Before sourcing, buyers should confirm head angle, countersink compatibility, recess size, thread pitch, length measured from the top of the head, material grade, and coating thickness.
For drawings that reference more than one metric standard, the DIN and ISO fastener standards guide can help buyers review standard naming, substitution limits, and the additional details needed for a complete purchasing specification.

Material and Grade Explanation
The right material depends on assembly strength, corrosion exposure, appearance, and the mating component. Carbon steel is widely used for equipment and enclosure assembly. Alloy steel can be selected when higher strength is required. Stainless steel A2 and A4 are practical options for clean appearance or corrosion resistance.
Carbon Steel and Alloy Steel
For cost-sensitive industrial projects, carbon steel fasteners can be supplied in common strength classes with zinc plated, black oxide, or other finishes. Buyers should confirm whether the assembly needs general machine screw strength or a stronger class such as 8.8.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel A2 is often used for clean indoor equipment, while A4 can be considered for higher corrosion exposure. For stainless-to-stainless assembly, anti-galling practice or suitable lubricant may be required by the application.
Surface Finish Selection Guide
Countersunk screws need careful finish selection because coating build-up can affect head seating, recess engagement, and thread fit. XZ Fastener can review finish, material, and inspection requirements together before production.
| Finish | Typical Use | Procurement Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Zinc Plated | General equipment, panels, light industrial assemblies | Common economical option; color and corrosion requirement should be confirmed. |
| Black Oxide | Machinery, instruments, dark appearance assemblies | Often used with oil protection; suitable when the buyer needs a darker visual finish. |
| Nickel Plated | Clean appearance or decorative hardware applications | Available upon request when a brighter surface is required. |
| Passivated Stainless | Stainless steel screws for clean or corrosion-exposed assemblies | Confirm A2 or A4 material before finish selection. |
| Special Coating | Project-specific corrosion or friction requirement | Review options through coated fasteners when the project requires special coating control. |
Manufacturing and Quality Control
For a countersunk screw factory order, production control should focus on head geometry, recess quality, thread accuracy, and finish consistency. A screw that meets the correct diameter and length can still cause assembly problems if the head does not seat cleanly or the drive recess is shallow, blocked, or damaged.
Manufacturing Focus
- Cold forming or machining route selected according to size and order requirement
- Controlled countersunk head diameter, angle, and seating surface
- Hexalobular recess formed for stable tool engagement
- Thread rolling or thread processing based on material and size
- Finish process reviewed to reduce burrs, blocked recesses, and poor seating
Inspection Focus
- Dimensional checks for diameter, length, head form, countersink angle, and thread pitch
- Drive gauge fit and recess depth control
- Hardness or mechanical property review when required
- Surface appearance, coating coverage, and mixed-size prevention
- Carton marks, labels, pallet method, and batch information according to order requirement
Projects requiring drawing-based dimensions, special drive depth, special material, or private packing can be reviewed through XZ Fastener’s custom fasteners support.
Applications
ISO 14581 hexalobular countersunk screws are used where a flush outer surface and reliable drive engagement are required. They are common in equipment manufacturing, enclosure assembly, and mechanical products where raised screw heads are not acceptable.

How is the length of a countersunk screw measured?
For countersunk screws, length is normally measured from the top of the head to the screw end. Buyers should confirm this with the drawing when replacing an existing part or changing from another screw standard.
Which materials are commonly used for ISO 14581 countersunk screws?
Common options include carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel A2, and stainless steel A4. The final selection should match strength, corrosion exposure, appearance, and the mating component.
Can the screws be packed with customer labels or part numbers?
Custom labels, item codes, carton marks, bag quantities, and pallet packing can be discussed before production. Buyers should share label artwork or label content before order confirmation.
