Machine Screws

A machine screw is a type of threaded fastener designed to be used with a pre-tapped or paired with a nut for securing two or more components together. Unlike woodscrews, which are tapered and typically used to fasten wood to wood, machine screws have a consistent diameter along their entire length and are commonly used in metal-to-metal, or metal-to-plastic applications.

Cross-recessed pan head screw

Head Type: Pan head (rounded head with a flat top surface).
Drive Type: Cross-recessed (Phillips or Pozidriv) drive.
Sizes: Available in various thread diameters including M2.6, M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, and M12. The typical lengths range from 6 mm to 60 mm, depending on the diameter.
Application: Commonly used in applications requiring a low-profile head, such as electronics, appliances, and machinery assembly.
Material: Typically made from steel, stainless steel, or brass for corrosion resistance and strength.

Cross-recessed countersunk head screw

Head Type: Countersunk (flat head that sits flush with the surface when installed).
Drive Type: Cross-recessed (Phillips or Pozidriv) drive.
Sizes: Available in various thread diameters including M2.6, M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, and M12. The typical lengths range from 6 mm to 60 mm, depending on the diameter.
Application: Used when a flush finish is desired, such as in woodworking, furniture assembly, and metal fabrication.
Material: Commonly made from steel, stainless steel, or aluminum for strength and durability.

Cross-recessed raised flat head screw

Head Type: Countersunk (flat head that sits flush with the surface when installed).
Drive Type: Cross-recessed (Phillips or Pozidriv) drive.
Sizes: Available in various thread diameters including M2.6, M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, and M12. The typical lengths range from 6 mm to 60 mm, depending on the diameter.
Application: Used when a flush finish is desired, such as in woodworking, furniture assembly, and metal fabrication.
Material: Commonly made from steel, stainless steel, or aluminum for strength and durability.

Cross-recessed truss head screw

Head Type: Truss head (wide, flat head with a low profile and large bearing surface).
Drive Type: Cross-recessed (Phillips or Pozidriv) drive.
Sizes: Available in various thread diameters including M2.6, M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, and M12. The typical lengths range from 6 mm to 60 mm, depending on the diameter.
Application: Used in applications requiring a low-profile head with additional strength, such as in automotive assembly, machinery, and construction.
Material: Commonly made from steel or stainless steel for durability and load-bearing capacity.

Cross-recessed bind head screw

Head Type: Bind head (large, rounded head with a wide bearing surface).
Drive Type: Cross-recessed (Phillips or Pozidriv) drive.
Sizes: Available in various thread diameters including M2.6, M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, and M12. The typical lengths range from 6 mm to 60 mm, depending on the diameter.
Application: Suitable for applications requiring a secure and tamper-resistant fastening, such as in security fixtures, machinery, and electronic enclosures.
Material: Typically made from steel or stainless steel for strength and security.

SURFACE TREATMENT OF MACHINE SCREWS

Zinc Plating: Provides corrosion resistance and a decorative finish. Commonly used in indoor applications.
Black Oxide Coating: Offers corrosion resistance and a matte black finish. Suitable for decorative purposes and provides moderate protection against corrosion.
Nickel Plating: Provides corrosion resistance and a shiny finish. Often used for decorative purposes and in applications where a polished appearance is desired.
Chrome Plating: Offers excellent corrosion resistance and a shiny, decorative finish. Commonly used in automotive, plumbing, and decorative applications.
Phosphate Coating: Provides corrosion resistance and improved lubricity. Often used in conjunction with oil or other coatings to prevent galling during assembly.
