ISO 10644 SEMS Screws with Captive Flat Washers Specification

Dimensional table, tolerance classes and the DIN / ISO / ASME parts that supersede or match this standard.

ISO 10644 specifies the dimensions and tolerances for sems screws with captive flat washers. The full dimensional table is reproduced below, followed by the DIN, ISO and ASME parts that match or supersede it.

Equivalence between national standards is dimensional, not always metallurgical. Check the property class separately when substituting.

The table below lists the dimensions catalogued for sems screws with captive flat washers under ISO 10644. The scope of ISO 10644 itself is not summarised here — where a figure matters, confirm it against the published document.

ISO 10644 — Scope

The table below lists the dimensions catalogued for sems screws with captive flat washers under ISO 10644. The scope of ISO 10644 itself is not summarised here — where a figure matters, confirm it against the published document.

Tolerance & Product Grades

Product grade is a concept from dimensional fastener standards and does not apply to ISO 10644. Tolerances for this part are the limits shown against each dimension in the table.

Equivalent Standards

Where direct equivalents exist (ISO ↔ DIN, ISO ↔ ASME), they are listed on the parent SEMS Screws with Captive Flat Washers page.

Always confirm against the dimensions on this page, since some "equivalent" standards differ in tolerances and head geometry.

Companion Standards

A complete specification for sems screws with captive flat washers normally cites several documents: one for the geometry, one for the material or mechanical properties, and one for the finish. ISO 10644 is one of them, not all of them.

Custom manufacturing · Made to drawing

Need a screw to this standard in a non-standard size?

Parts built to ISO 10644 are already in the catalog, so a special is usually a variation on existing tooling rather than a new design — which is what keeps the cost down. Made by cold heading or warm forging.

Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.

Technical Drawing

Customize the parameters below — every spec field is editable, and the drawing redraws to match the values you choose. Changing the size will snap the other fields to that size's standard values; you can then override any individual value.

Applications & Industries

Where SEMS Screws with Captive Flat Washers are used, and what decides the specification in each case. Stocked from M2.5 to M8.

Industries that specify SEMS Screws with Captive Flat Washers

  • Electrical assembly Captive flat-washer screws for panels, terminals and equipment covers.
  • Appliance production High-volume screwdriving where a separate washer would slow assembly.
  • Sheet-metal enclosures Removable covers that must retain the washer on the screw.
  • Machine guarding Service hardware that stays with the cover during removal.
  • Steel fabrication Bolted connections in frames, enclosures, walkways and weldments, on the bench and on site.
  • Energy & infrastructure Tower, pipework, switchgear and plant fixings specified for long service life and inspectable joints.

Typical applications

  • combining the screw and flat washer into one captive assembly
  • spreading bearing load while preventing washer loss during service
  • using a Phillips drive for controlled production installation
  • selecting the washer outside diameter and thickness with the thread size
  • clamping two machined faces to a calculated preload
  • bolting brackets, motors and gearboxes to a frame

Service conditions to specify against

Marine and coastal
Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit.
High load
Supplied in ISO 898-1 property classes, so the joint can be designed to a stated proof load and tightened to a calculated torque rather than by feel.
Torque and preload
The joint is designed around bolt tension, so lubrication, coating and the friction coefficient all change the torque figure — state them together.

Where to use something else

  • Do not substitute the captive washer for a hardened structural washer in a high-preload joint.
  • Do not use a machine thread into unthreaded sheet or timber; use a tapping screw, rivet nut or insert made for that parent material.

Inside the plant

Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

  1. Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine
    01

    Cold heading

    Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail.

    Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.

  2. Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads
    02

    Thread rolling

    Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch.

    Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.

  3. Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment
    03

    Heat treatment

    Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it.

    Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.

  4. Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket
    04

    Surface treatment

    Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list.

    Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which edition of ISO 10644 does this table follow?

The table reproduces the dimensions we supply sems screws with captive flat washers to. We do not publish an edition year against it, so where the edition is contractually significant, cite the edition you require on the enquiry and we will confirm it against the table before quoting.

Can I substitute ISO 10644 for the corresponding DIN standard on a drawing?

On modern drawings the ISO standard is the master reference; the older DIN equivalent is a cross-reference. For most dimensional purposes the parts are interchangeable, but check tolerance grades and the head height — these are the most common points of divergence.

How do I request a quotation?

Use the technical drawing on this page to pick the exact configuration, then submit it with the quote form. We respond within one business day.
