Gibraltar HJS-585-G Adjustable Locating Screw 3/8-24

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR HJS-585-G is an adjustable locating screw used to precisely position or secure workpieces, fixtures, or components in industrial and trade applications. Threaded 3/8-24 with an overall length of 2 inches, this screw provides fine-thread engagement suitable for applications requiring controlled positioning. The hex drive head measures 0.5 inches across flats with a hex height of 0.25 inches, allowing standard wrench or socket installation. Constructed from steel with a black oxide finish, the HJS-585-G offers corrosion resistance in light-duty environments. It is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need repeatable, adjustable positioning in jigs, fixtures, or mechanical assemblies.

This locating screw is suited for use in machine tool setups, fixture plates, and precision positioning applications where fine-thread adjustment is required. The 3/8-24 thread pitch gives operators greater control over incremental movement compared to coarse-thread equivalents, making it a practical choice for tool-and-die, maintenance, and mechanical assembly work. Sold individually, it is a direct-replacement or supplemental fastener for standard adjustable locating applications.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 fine thread for precise incremental adjustment
• 2 inch overall length suits standard fixture and jig applications
• 0.5 inch width across flats for use with common wrenches or sockets
• Steel construction with black oxide finish for light corrosion resistance
• Compact 0.25 inch hex height minimizes interference in tight clearance setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard adjustable locating screw for use in fixtures, jigs, and mechanical positioning assemblies requiring a 3/8-24 threaded fastener with a 2 inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a standard open-end wrench or socket sized to 0.5 inches across flats. Ensure the receiving threaded hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound or torque to specification per your fixture design requirements. De-energize or lock out any associated equipment before adjusting or replacing locating screws in an active assembly.
