Product Overview

This specific three-piece SEMS product consists of one cross-recessed external-hex machine bolt, one captive spring lock washer directly below the head and one captive flat washer below the spring washer. GB/T 9074.13-1988 is the applicable current assembly reference for M3–M8 products where dimensions conform.

The external hex accepts socket, wrench or nut-driver tooling, while the centered cross recess supports compatible screwdriver or powered-driver access. These interfaces offer tooling flexibility but are not claimed to have identical torque capacity. Both washers remain mechanically retained on the finished bolt.

Specify M size, pitch, length, cross recess, bolt material, spring-washer material, flat-washer material, washer dimensions, finish, GB/T standard or customer drawing, mating thread, quantity and application.

Dual-Drive Hex Head, Captive Washer Stack & Thread Engagement

Exact Structure
Cross-recessed external hex head → one spring washer → one flat washer → mating component; no fourth component.
Dual Drive
External hex supports socket/wrench tooling; the centered cross recess supports compatible drivers. Select tooling according to joint and bolt specification.
Captive Method
Washers are installed on a reduced blank before thread rolling; finished thread major diameter retains them. Captive does not mean welded or rigid.
Washer Functions
Spring washer supplies elastic action without guaranteeing vibration locking; flat washer provides bearing area, surface protection and contact distribution.
Stack & Engagement
Spring plus flat washer stack reduces available thread projection. Consider nominal L, stack height, fixture thickness and required female-thread engagement.
9074.13 vs 9074.17
GB/T 9074.13 uses a cross-recessed hexagon head; GB/T 9074.17 uses a plain hex head. Both may include spring and flat washers.
Product 21 vs 22
Product 21 has a pan head. Product 22 has an external hexagon head plus centered cross recess.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Cross Recessed Hex Head Three-Piece SEMS Bolt?

It combines one dual-drive machine bolt, one captive single-coil spring washer and one captive plain washer into a pre-assembled fastener.

What standard applies to this product?

GB/T 9074.13-1988 is the current Chinese national assembly standard and covers M3–M8 thread sizes where dimensions conform.

How does GB/T 9074.13 differ from a plain Hex Head combination bolt?

9074.13 includes a centered cross recess in its indented external-hex head; the GB/T 9074.17 family uses a plain hex head without the same cross-recessed configuration.

Are the Spring Washer and Flat Washer loose?

No. Both are captive; a common process installs them before final thread rolling so the completed thread prevents normal detachment.

Can these SEMS Bolts be supplied in stainless steel?

Yes. VALTOR can supply 304/A2, 316/A4 and carbon-steel configurations. Bolt, spring-washer and flat-washer materials should each be confirmed.
