Custom Internally Threaded Socket Head Screws - 304 Stainless Steel

Custom Internally Threaded Socket Head Screws - 304 Stainless Steel
These custom internally threaded socket head screws were manufactured domestically using 304 stainless steel material with plain finish.  Outside thread was M12-1.75 and the internal thread was set to M8-1.25, threaded all the way through.  10MM X 4MM deep hex socket drive was incorporated with a broach process.  For very high volume production this part would likely be made using a cold headed process instead for the hex drive.

Custom Slotted Internally & Externally Threaded Studs

Custom Slotted Internally & Externally Threaded Studs
We supply five different size configurations of these custom slotted internally & externally threaded studs to our construction customer.  45K plain steel material is used to produce the parts, with plain and light oil finish.  This specific slotted stud incorporates 1/4-20 internal thread and 1/2-13 external thread.  Both sides are slotted and an extended outer chamfer is required on one side to allow easier installation and removal in the application.  While the different variations have other external thread diameters and length they share the same 1/4-20 internal thread requirement.

Custom 316 Stainless Steel Shoulder Screws - 4-40 X 1

Custom 316 Stainless Steel Shoulder Screws - 4-40 X 1

We had a small batch of these custom 316 stainless steel shoulder screws produced domestically for our electronics OEM customer. Partial 4-40 thread was incorporated, with a machined shoulder incorporated per our customer specifications. Due to the smaller quantity involved the hex socket drive was broached rather than cold headed - you can see the slight rough nature of the drive when zooming into the photo. The lead time for these parts was relatively fast, with 2-3 weeks for production.
