Description
The M12 × 40 Cap Head Bolt is a high-strength metric socket head cap screw used in Virtus Equipment and ZERMA America granulators and shredders. The low-profile cylindrical head and internal hex (Allen) drive make this the preferred fastener for applications where a standard hex head bolt would create interference with adjacent components, guards, or panels. The M12 × 40 configuration is commonly used in cutting chamber guard fastening, panel mounting, and other locations where a flush or recessed fastener profile is required.
