Thrust Screws - Brass Pad

In stock - Delivery conditions may apply, visit our FAQs In production

These brass pad thrust screws are designed to provide a controlled bearing surface for components that must be precisely positioned and attached while minimising axial movement or damage to the mating surface. It guarantees smooth, controlled action while reducing friction and wear.

As the screw turns, the brass pad applies pressure on the surface it touches, allowing for controlled movement or adjustment. It provides a secure and stable point of contact and is extremely wear-resistant.

It is simple to install under pressure, softly clamp or push threaded spindles, shafts, or surface-treated parts, and place more delicate parts. It is frequently utilised in mechanical assembly, precise instrumentation, calibration, and alignment.

  • Offers a controlled bearing surface for components that must be precisely positioned and attached.
  • It provides a secure and stable point of contact and is extremely wear-resistant.
  • Used in mechanical assembly, precise instrumentation, calibration, and alignment.

Button Head Seal Screws

In stock - Delivery conditions may apply, visit our FAQs In production

Seal screws are a type of fastener designed with an o-ring to provide secure bi-directional protection against contaminates such as gases and fluids in various applications, minimising the risk of damage to sensitive equipment. They prevent the entry of water, dust, or other contaminants, ensuring a secure, reliable connection.

Seal screws are used in threaded and non-threaded holes in applications such as cabinets or used in the automotive and electric industries.

This range of Seal Screws features a button head with a hexagonal drive. Hexagonal drives are ideal for precision assembly and are used where less surface area is available. They are made from Stainless Steel that provides good resistance to corrosion and is slightly magnetic.

Please note: Our seal screws are designed for use in applications where sealing properties are required. It could be confused with standard fasteners, these do not require sealing properties and with an O-ring you will not get a sealing property like you get with seal screws and may damage the ring.

Cap Screws - Low Head

In stock - Delivery conditions may apply, visit our FAQs In production

This range of Cap Screws are available in a choice of hexagonal drive or torx drive. Hexagonal drives are ideal for precision assembly and are ideally used where less surface area is available. Torx drives provide a positive-engaging, fast-locating technique for transmitting drive torque with less necessary downward pressure. These Cap Screws are available in a choice of two low head options: ultra low head and extra low head.

The first of these options helps reduce the screws overall head height space, which means no countersinking is required, unlike flat head screws. The second option has an extremely low profile, and does not need a countersunk location hole. These screws are suitable for machine and equipment applications, with minimal clearance.

Cap Screws are commonly used with Threaded Captive Washers (sold separately).

The screws are made from austenitic Stainless Steel that provides good resistance to corrosion and machinability. The material is a popular choice for construction and automotive applications.
