Value Collection 362-0824-01 Shoulder Screw 1/2 in Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 362-0824-01 is a Grade 8 alloy steel shoulder screw designed for precision fastening applications that require an accurately ground cylindrical shoulder as a bearing, pivot, or locating surface. The shoulder measures 0.5 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in length, with a 3/8-16 UNC threaded end. Drive engagement is via a 1/4 inch hex socket, making installation straightforward with standard hex keys or socket drivers. This fastener is well suited for fixture, tooling, and machinery assembly work performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors.

Shoulder screws of this type are commonly used in jigs, fixtures, dies, and mechanical assemblies where a close-tolerance shaft is needed to guide, pivot, or retain a component. The 3/8-16 UNC thread provides reliable clamping force into standard tapped holes. The Grade 8 alloy steel construction offers the tensile strength required in demanding industrial and OEM manufacturing environments. This screw meets ANSI B18.3 and BS 2470 standards, making it appropriate for both domestic and internationally specified assemblies.

Key Features

• 0.5 inch shoulder diameter provides a precise bearing and locating surface
• 1.5 inch shoulder length suits medium-depth pivot and guide applications
• 3/8-16 UNC thread is compatible with standard tapped holes in steel and aluminum fixtures
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength and durability
• 1/4 inch hex socket drive for installation with hex keys or bit drivers
• Meets ANSI B18.3 and BS 2470 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI B18.3 shoulder screw suitable for use in jigs, fixtures, dies, and general mechanical assemblies that accept a 0.5 inch diameter shoulder and a 3/8-16 UNC threaded engagement.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a 1/4 inch hex key or socket driver. Ensure the receiving tapped hole is clean and matches the 3/8-16 UNC thread specification before driving the screw. De-energize and lock out any machinery before servicing assemblies that contain this fastener. Do not use impact tools that may over-torque the thread or damage the shoulder surface finish.
