An
inch slotted head shoulder screw is a type of fastener with a slotted head and a cylindrical shoulder. It is designed to provide a precise shoulder stop for rotational or axial movement of mechanical components. The slotted head allows for easy installation and removal using a slotted screwdriver.
The shoulder portion of the screw has a smooth, cylindrical surface that acts as a bearing surface or spacer between two components. The shoulder diameter is typically larger than the threaded portion, creating a step or ledge that provides a positive stop when the screw is fully inserted.
These screws are commonly used in applications where precise alignment and spacing are required, such as in machinery, equipment, and automotive assemblies. The shoulder provides a consistent and accurate reference point for mating parts, ensuring proper alignment and reducing wear.
Inch slotted head shoulder screws are available in various sizes, materials, and finishes to suit different application requirements. They are often made from stainless steel, alloy steel, or brass to provide strength and corrosion resistance.
