DIN 914 (screw standards)

DIN 914 is a German industrial standard that specifies the specifications for set screws, which are small screws used to secure an object within or against another without protruding. These screws typically have a cylindrical or hexagon socket head and are used in machinery and equipment to prevent components from loosening. The standard defines details like dimensions, threading, material, and hardness to ensure compatibility, strength, and reliability across different applications. Following DIN 914 ensures that set screws meet quality and compatibility criteria, facilitating safe and effective assembly and maintenance.
