Metric sizes M5 M6 M8 M10 M12 M16 M20 These extended metric shoulder bolts consist of a threaded screw base a long unthreaded shoulder and a hex key adjusting head Often used with bushes on fixture and die applications CAD Socket Shoulder Screws Self Colour Socket Shoulder Screws feature a shoulder that is undercut at the head ground to a specified diameter and oiled This makes the shoulder suitable for use as a shaft for bearings or bushings an axle for rolling or pivoting parts or a guide for sliding parts The undercut ensures that the component on the 14 10 2020 nbsp 0183 32 1 Shoulder stripper bolts typically have a thread diameter a few sizes smaller than the shank diameter while reamer bolts have a thread size close to or the same as the shank size 2 Shoulder stripper bolts have a machined flat face at the bottom of the threaded section so that the bolt can be threaded into a plate and the head will be in a fixed known position 2 List thread diameter size then 3 List shoulder length Example 1 4 quot 10 24 x 7 8 quot a shoulder screw with a 1 4 quot diameter shoulder 10 24 thread size and 7 8 quot shoulder length Thread size is one standard size smaller than the shoulder diameter and doesn t need to be specified except for A screw with a 1 2 quot diameter shoulder has a 3 8 To specify inch shoulder screws Call out shoulder diameter then The shoulder length Example 5 8 quot x 2 quot a shoulder screw with a 5 8 quot diameter shoulder 2 quot long Thread size is one standard size smaller than the shoulder diameter and needn t be specified except for A screw with a 1 2 quot diameter shoulder has

Since shoulder screws can be used as a type of bearing or linear slide some tolerance is usually granted to the shoulder diameter Precisions grade shoulder screws will have tolerances from 0005 to 0015 inches 013 and 038 mm below their nominal size Commercial grade screws have varying screw tolerances Socket Head Shoulder Screw 1 4 inch x 1 2 inch 18 8 Stainless Steel 10 24 Thread Size Quantity 25 pcs Shoulder Diameter 1 4 inch Shoulder Length 1 2 inch Coarse Thread 50 99 50 99 Get it as soon as Fri Jan 28Metric sizes M5 M6 M8 M10 M12 M16 M20 These extended metric shoulder bolts consist of a threaded screw base a long unthreaded shoulder and a hex key adjusting head Often used with bushes on fixture and die applications C Machine Screw Diameters denominated with the industry Numeric Size system The diameters of smaller machine screws are denominated with the same Basic Major Diameters of industry Numeric Size denominated screws noted in section B 2 above but with a number of threads per inch count as well Here follows a list in inches Product Information Precision close tolerance Shoulder Screw The shoulder diameter is ground to a closer tolerance than ordinary stripper bolts for better bearing action Shoulder length is held to a plus tolerance to allow a nominal size plate to swing freely underneath the head Available in shoulder diameters from 1 4 to 3 4 quot 8 to 20mm

Shoulder screws have three sections head shoulder and thread The head is the largest diameter section of the shoulder screw which prevents the screw from being inserted further than its length and provides a bearing surface as well as a drive mechanism slotted hex etc so the screw can have torque applied for its installation The shoulder is the smooth middle Trying to make sense of all the different screw and bolt thread lengths can be a real challenge even for the most knowledgeable of professionals Are you finding yourself a little confused or do you need a quick refresher Never let thread length get the best of you with our help from ASMC Thread Angle The angle of the thread is slightly different with BSW having a 55 degree angle and UNC having a 60 degree angle The thread angle is the term given to the name for the angle between two thread flanks However whilst there is a 5 degree difference it is not noticeable to the eye and both threads will still screw into each other Example 1 4 quot 10 24 x 7 8 quot a shoulder bolt with a 1 4 quot diameter shoulder 10 24 thread size and 7 8 quot shoulder length Thread size is one standard size smaller than the shoulder diameter and doesn t need to be specified except for A bolt with a 1 2 quot diameter shoulder has a 3 8 quot 16 thread A 5 8 quot diameter shoulder has a 1 2 quot 13 thread Metric Shoulder Bolts 1 Size is the shoulder diameter and length is the length of the shoulder measure length from under the head to the end of the shoulder An additional dimension is thread size which is always smaller in diameter than the shoulder and ranges from 10 24 to 5 8 11 for the common sizes Thread length is fixed for each size quot Shoulder refers to the enlarged unthreaded

Screw Sizes amp Threads The following provides a comprehenisve table showing the equivalant measurements in inches fractions amp decimals and millimeters for various screw sizes The second table provides the number of threads per inch for coarse UNC and fine UNF threads for various size screws and bolts The first number is the diameter of the Screw Thread Design Screw Thread Fundamentals A screw thread is defined as a ridge of uniform section in the form of a helix on either the external or internal surface of a cylinder Internal threads refer to those on nuts and tapped holes while external threads are those on bolts studs or screws Partial thread bolts and screws offer an area below the head that is entirely free of threading They are called partial thread bolts because of the part that has no threading This non thread area of a bolt also known as the bolt shank or shoulder of the fastener will vary in length depending on the bolt s application Metric Same Size Thread Alloy Steel Shoulder Screws The metric sized threads on these screws are the same diameter as the shoulder Comparable in strength to Class 12 9 steel 59 rows nbsp 0183 32 The shoulder is larger in diameter than the threaded section and provides an axis
