Value Collection R57600502 Shoulder Screw 1/4 in 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57600502 is an 18-8 stainless steel shoulder screw with a 1/4 inch shoulder diameter and a 3/16 inch shoulder length. The hex socket drive accepts a 1/8 inch hex key for installation. Shoulder screws serve as precision pivot points, spacers, and guide pins in mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and automated equipment. The uncoated 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suited to moderate chemical and moisture exposure. This fastener is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working in manufacturing, industrial maintenance, and equipment repair applications.

This shoulder screw is used in applications requiring a precise cylindrical bearing surface, such as linkages, cam followers, pivoting brackets, and floating component assemblies. The 10-24 UNC threaded section engages tapped holes in aluminum, steel, and plastic assemblies. The 3/8 inch head diameter and 3/16 inch head height provide a low-profile clamping surface. Typical installations occur in light industrial machinery, tooling fixtures, and precision mechanical subassemblies where dimensional accuracy and corrosion resistance are required.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch shoulder diameter provides a precision bearing and pivot surface
• 3/16 inch shoulder length suits thin-plate linkage and spacer applications
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and mildly corrosive environments
• 1/8 inch hex socket drive allows installation with standard hex keys or Allen drivers
• 10-24 UNC thread engages standard tapped holes in a wide range of base materials
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional tolerances without coating buildup

Compatibility

Designed as a standard shoulder screw for use in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment requiring a 1/4 inch diameter shoulder, 10-24 UNC threaded engagement, and hex socket drive.

Installation Notes

Install using a 1/8 inch hex key or socket driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and properly threaded to 10-24 UNC specifications before installation. Do not overtighten, as the clamping force should allow the shouldered section to function as a free-rotating or sliding bearing surface where required. Consult applicable machinery safety standards and de-energize or lock out equipment before servicing any assembly containing this fastener.
