GB/T 9074.13-1988 Cross Recessed Hexagon Bolt with Indentation, Single Coil Lock Washer and Plain Washer Assemblies — Carbon Steel 8.8, Zinc Cr3
FULLERKREG supplies GB/T 9074.13-1988 carbon steel class 8.8 SEMS screws with trivalent zinc (Zinc Cr3) plating — pre-assembled three-piece fastener assemblies combining a cross recessed hexagon bolt, a single coil spring lock washer, and a plain washer into one captive unit. The high-strength 8.8 grade combined with RoHS-compliant Zinc Cr3 coating makes these the go-to choice for automotive, machinery, and industrial assembly applications requiring both strength and environmental compliance.
What Are GB9074.13 Cross Recessed Hex SEMS Screws?
GB/T 9074.13-1988 defines a three-piece pre-assembled fastener (SEMS) consisting of:
-
GB29.2 — Cross recessed hexagon head bolt (Phillips drive, hex head)
-
GB9074.24 — Plain washer (assembly-grade flat washer)
-
GB9074.26 — Single coil spring lock washer (assembly-grade spring washer)
The three components are permanently captivated onto the bolt shank before thread rolling. After threading, the outer thread diameter exceeds the inner diameter of the plain washer, making the assembly permanently inseparable. This eliminates loose washers on the assembly line and dramatically reduces installation time and error.
Assembly formula: GB9074.13 = GB29.2 + GB9074.24 + GB9074.26
The washer stack order from bolt head outward is: Plain Washer → Spring Lock Washer → Bolt Head (the plain washer sits closest to the workpiece surface).
Benefits of Using GB9074.13 Cross Recessed Hex SEMS Screws
- ✅ No loose parts — washers are permanently captivated; no risk of dropped or missing washers during assembly
- ✅ Faster installation — one-piece handling replaces three separate components; ideal for automated and manual assembly lines
- ✅ Correct washer sequence guaranteed — plain washer always contacts the workpiece; spring washer always contacts the bolt head flange
- ✅ High strength class 8.8 — tensile strength ≥ 800 MPa; suitable for structural and load-bearing joints in machinery and automotive applications
- ✅ Vibration resistance — the coil spring lock washer provides reliable anti-loosening performance under dynamic and cyclic loads
- ✅ Dual drive flexibility — cross recessed (Phillips) drive on a hex head allows both manual screwdriver and power tool / wrench tightening
- ✅ RoHS-compliant Zinc Cr3 finish — trivalent chromium zinc plating replaces hexavalent Cr6+ coating; meets EU ELV, RoHS, and REACH directives; silver-grey appearance with good corrosion resistance
- ✅ Reduced inventory complexity — one SKU replaces three separate fastener SKUs
