Value Collection 367-0620-01 Shoulder Screw 3/8 in Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 367-0620-01 is a stainless steel shoulder screw designed for precision fastening applications where a smooth, accurately dimensioned bearing surface is required. The shoulder measures 0.375 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches in length, providing a precise pivot or alignment point between mating components. The 5/16-18 UNC threaded end secures the fastener into a tapped hole, while the hex socket drive accepts a 3/16-inch hex key for installation. Manufactured from 18-8 300 series stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this screw offers corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor service environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals are the typical installers.

Shoulder screws of this type are commonly used in jigs, fixtures, dies, linkages, and pivot assemblies across manufacturing, mechanical maintenance, and light industrial applications. The smooth shoulder acts as a shaft, bushing pivot, or spacer depending on the assembly design. This fastener is sold individually and is appropriate wherever a precise 3/8-inch diameter bearing surface with a 5/16-18 threaded end is specified on a print or bill of materials. The uncoated stainless finish makes it a practical choice for applications requiring moderate corrosion resistance without plating concerns.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch shoulder diameter (0.3750 inches decimal) for precise fit in bored or reamed holes
• 1-1/4-inch shoulder length provides a defined bearing or pivot surface
• 5/16-18 UNC thread standard for secure engagement in standard tapped holes
• 18-8 300 series stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Hex socket drive (3/16-inch key) allows installation in confined or recessed locations
• Meets ANSI B18.3 and BS 2470 standards for dimensional conformance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard shoulder screw for use in fixtures, jigs, dies, and pivot assemblies requiring a 3/8-inch shoulder diameter and 5/16-18 UNC threaded end per ANSI B18.3 and BS 2470 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical assemblers using a 3/16-inch hex key or Allen wrench. Ensure the receiving hole is bored or reamed to the correct clearance fit for the 0.375-inch shoulder before installation. Do not overtighten the threaded end into the tapped hole, as this can damage threads or distort the shoulder alignment. Always verify thread engagement depth against the application print before final assembly.
