XB-HCS-M16-50Z
Hex Socket Head Cap Screw, M16 x 50 mm, Zinc
SAF-Holland

A hex socket head cap screw with M16 x 50 mm dimensions offers a compact, high-strength fastener suitable for critical load paths in trailer structures and vehicle frames. Its internal socket allows flush mounting and reduced protrusion while enabling precise assembly with an Allen key torque driver. The 50 mm grip length provides ample engagement in through-holes or through-bolts, and the zinc finish adds corrosion resistance for exposure to road salts and wet climates typical in fleet operations. Positioned within the SAF-Holland component category, this fastener plays a key role in maintaining rigidity of brackets, linkages, and sub-assemblies that connect to landing gear, axles, or suspension elements. Engineers rely on correct thread engagement and torque to avoid galling and to preserve joint integrity under dynamic loading and vibration. VMRS code 053-007-006 classifies it among hex socket head cap screws in structural components. The item includes standard safety labeling per P65 on packaging. In service, it is chosen when a low-profile, high-strength fastener is required to secure hardware without protruding heads that could snag or degrade aerodynamics during highway operation.
