Stainless Steel Screws

Captive screws, featuring a reduced shank, are crucial in manufacturing for preventing lost fasteners and accelerating assembly. This design improves efficiency by reducing downtime and speeding up maintenance, lowers costs through reduced replacements, and ensures reliability in high-vibration environments. Consequently, they are essential in applications like automated assembly, machinery maintenance, and industrial enclosures, ultimately boosting manufacturing efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness.

Fully threaded studs and rods are ideal for applications where a screw head is not needed or space is precious. Fastening completely into material, they can be threaded right down into the application.

Set screws, headless and threaded, secure components in industrial manufacturing. They lock gears, position parts, and retain tooling. With varied points and materials, they ensure stability and prevent malfunctions.

These high-grade stainless steel hygienic screws are engineered for precise and reliable fastening of delicate materials in manufacturing. Featuring an oversized flange and thread undercut, they ensure uniform force distribution, preventing stress concentration. The low-profile, polished head (Ra 0.8 µm or better) minimizes interference, snagging, and particle retention, making them ideal for clean-room or controlled environments. For secure and damage-free assembly, use open-end spanners and protective caps .

A knurled screw is a screw with a textured surface (knurling), usually on the head, designed for easy hand-turning without tools. The knurling provides enhanced grip, making it useful for frequent adjustments and in situations where tools are inconvenient. They come in various head styles (like thumb screws) and are used across many industries for tool-free fastening and adjustments.

A shoulder screw, or shoulder bolt, is a specialized fastener characterized by its three distinct sections: a head, a precisely machined unthreaded cylindrical shoulder, and a threaded end. This unique design enables its use in applications requiring precise rotation, alignment, or spacing. The smooth, tightly toleranced shoulder acts as a bearing surface, reducing friction and wear, making it ideal for pivot points, guiding motion, and supporting machinery. Common applications include die stripper plates in metalworking, as well as the assembly of pulleys and gears. In essence, shoulder screws provide accurate alignment and smooth rotation, serving as both pivot points and bearing surfaces in various mechanical assemblies.
