MACHINE SCREW

A machine screw is a type of threaded fastener designed to be used with a tapped hole or a nut to secure two or more components together. Unlike wood screws or self-tapping screws, machine screws are not designed to cut their own threads. Instead, they require pre-drilled or pre-tapped holes in the materials being fastened.

Machine screws have a uniform diameter along their entire length and typically feature a blunt or flat end. They are available in a wide range of sizes, thread pitches, and head types, including flat head, round head, pan head, and more.

Machine screws are commonly made of steel, stainless steel, or brass, providing strength and durability for various applications. They are widely used in industries such as manufacturing, electronics, automotive, and construction.

To install a machine screw, it is inserted into a pre-drilled or pre-tapped hole and tightened using a screwdriver or a compatible driver. The machine screw can also be used with a nut to create a more secure connection.

Machine screws offer a versatile and reliable fastening solution, allowing for the secure attachment of components in a wide range of applications. They are particularly suitable for applications that require precise alignment, consistent clamping force, and easy disassembly for maintenance or repairs.
