Value Collection 537108PS Shoulder Screw M6x1 8mm Hex Socket

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 537108PS is a metric shoulder screw designed for precision fastening applications where a defined shoulder diameter and length are required. The shoulder measures 8 millimeters in diameter and 12 millimeters in length, providing a controlled bearing or pivot surface within an assembly. Driven by a hex socket, it accepts a standard Allen key or hex bit. Manufactured from grade 8 alloy steel, it delivers the tensile strength and hardness needed for demanding mechanical assemblies. This type of fastener is used by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians across industrial and commercial equipment applications.

This shoulder screw is suited for use in jigs, fixtures, and mechanical linkages where components need to pivot, slide, or be precisely located on a bearing surface. The M6x1 thread engages standard metric-tapped holes. The hex socket drive allows installation in tight clearances where a wrench cannot swing freely. Typical applications include machine tool components, automation equipment, and custom fabrication assemblies requiring repeatable dimensional control at the shoulder.

Key Features

• 8 mm shoulder diameter provides consistent bearing or pivot surface for mechanical assemblies
• 12 mm shoulder length allows controlled depth of engagement for sliding or rotating components
• M6x1 metric thread for compatibility with standard metric-tapped holes
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength and wear resistance
• Hex socket drive enables installation in confined spaces with an Allen key or hex bit driver

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric shoulder screw for use in any application requiring an M6x1 threaded fastener with an 8 mm shoulder diameter and 12 mm shoulder length. Verify thread engagement depth and shoulder fit against assembly drawings before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a hex key or hex bit driver sized to the socket. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean, free of debris, and correctly sized for M6x1 thread engagement before driving the screw. Do not overtighten — shoulder screws are torqued to the shoulder, not bottomed out by thread clamping force, so follow assembly design specifications. De-energize and lock out any equipment before performing fastener service on live machinery.
