Value Collection 93410 Shoulder Screw 5/16 in 1/4-20 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 93410 is a hex socket shoulder screw machined from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. The shoulder measures 5/16 inches in diameter and 1/4 inches in length, providing a precise bearing surface for pivoting or sliding components. The 1/4-20 UNC threaded section secures the fastener in the tapped hole, while the 7/16-inch diameter head seats flush against the mating surface. The 5/32-inch hex socket drive allows installation with a standard hex key or Allen driver. These fasteners are used by maintenance technicians, equipment assemblers, and mechanical contractors working on precision assemblies where a controlled-clearance pin is required alongside a threaded retention point.

Shoulder screws of this type are commonly installed in linkage assemblies, fixture components, guide mechanisms, and rotating or sliding part interfaces found in light industrial, HVAC, and mechanical equipment. The stainless steel construction makes the 93410 suitable for environments with exposure to moisture or mild corrosion. This listing covers a package quantity of 10 pieces, making it practical for service kits or small-batch assembly work where multiple fasteners of the same size are needed in a single order.

Key Features

• Precision 5/16-inch shoulder diameter provides a controlled bearing surface for pivoting or sliding components
• 1/4-inch shoulder length suits thin-section assemblies requiring a short, accurate pin body
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in wet or humid service environments
• 1/4-20 UNC thread is a widely available standard size, compatible with common tapped-hole tooling
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive reduces the chance of cam-out during installation in tight clearances
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy at the shoulder without coating buildup

Compatibility

Designed as a standard shoulder screw for use in any assembly requiring a 5/16-inch shoulder diameter, 1/4-inch shoulder length, and 1/4-20 UNC threaded engagement in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the 1/4-20 shank into a properly tapped hole using a 5/32-inch hex key. Before servicing any equipment to replace or install shoulder screws, de-energize the system and relieve any stored mechanical or pneumatic energy. Avoid over-torquing, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads if repeated removal is expected. Verify shoulder diameter clearance against the bore specification in the mating component before installation.
