Value Collection 362-0828-01 Shoulder Screw Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 362-0828-01 is a Grade 8 alloy steel shoulder screw designed for precision fastening applications where a smooth, close-tolerance cylindrical shoulder is required. The shoulder measures 0.5 inches in diameter and 1.75 inches in length, providing a reliable pivot or bearing surface. The 3/8-16 UNC threaded end secures the fastener into tapped holes, while the 1/4 inch hex socket drive allows installation with a standard hex key. With a head diameter of 0.75 inches and a head height of 0.3125 inches, this fastener seats flush and secure in countersunk or clearance applications. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install this type of fastener in jigs, fixtures, linkages, and machine guards.

This shoulder screw is suited for industrial and mechanical assembly environments where a hardened, close-tolerance shoulder is needed to serve as a shaft, pivot pin, or guide for mating components. Typical installations include fixture plates, die sets, conveyor linkages, and precision machine assemblies. The Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength for demanding load conditions. It conforms to ANSI B18.3 and BS 2470 standards, making it appropriate for both domestic and metric-compatible applications where those standards apply.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a 1/4 inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and correctly sized for 3/8-16 UNC thread engagement before installation. Do not exceed the rated torque for Grade 8 alloy steel fasteners of this thread size as specified by applicable engineering references. De-energize and lock out any machinery before replacing shoulder screws in operational equipment per applicable safety procedures.
