Wide Bearing Surface
The pan head provides a larger contact area, distributing clamping force evenly and reducing surface indentation on assembled parts.

DIN 85 Slotted Pan Head Machine Screws are metric machine screws featuring a traditional slotted drive and a rounded pan head. The wide bearing surface distributes clamping force more evenly than cheese head screws, helping reduce surface indentation while providing an attractive finished appearance.
Although DIN 85 has been officially superseded by ISO 1580, it remains one of the most commonly specified standards in industrial maintenance, machinery, electrical equipment, control panels, furniture, and general engineering assemblies. Available in carbon steel, stainless steel (A2/A4), brass, and other materials, DIN 85 screws provide reliable fastening performance across a wide range of applications.


DIN 85 has been largely replaced by ISO 1580. However, they are not completely interchangeable in high-precision applications due to slight dimensional differences in the head geometry.

The pan head provides a larger contact area, distributing clamping force evenly and reducing surface indentation on assembled parts.
The standard slotted drive is compatible with common flat-head screwdrivers, enabling quick installation and convenient maintenance.
DIN 84 features a cheese head, while DIN 85 uses a wider, rounded pan head with a larger bearing surface.
Yes. Standard DIN 85 screws are generally fully threaded.
Yes, custom materials, finishes, and dimensions are available.
