For projects that require fastening wood to metal, consider hex machine screws. Smaller than conventional screws, machine screws are ideal for providing a secure and precise connection of machine parts.
At FMW Fasteners, we supply the premium quality hex machine screws you're looking for.
What Are Machine Screws?
Machine screws are characterized by their small size with a diameter of 0.75 inches or less. They are typically used to hold machine components together, especially in electronics, engines and industrial equipment, and they are most often fastened with a nut into a threaded hole.
They are also distinct for their uniform threads that maintain the same diameter for the entire length of the shank, which makes them well-suited for use with pre-existing holes. They may be coarsely threaded, with 24 threads per inch, or finely threaded, with 32 threads per inch.
What Are the Benefits of Hex Machine Screws?
Machine screws are designed with enhanced durability and versatility, which means they are ideal for use in a wide variety of materials. Because they are typically placed in pre-existing, threaded holes, they can also help increase the strength of a machine joint for optimal safety and performance.
The hex-shaped head has six sides, which gives it a larger bearing surface area so more pressure can be applied while tightening. FMW Fasteners carries hex machine screws in standard, indented or slotted varieties.
An indented hex head provides greater protection for the surface of the mating material and greater tightening torque than other head styles. Additionally, the combination design of a slotted hex head allows these screws to be simply and easily driven in with a wider variety of tools. A standard hex head has a smooth, flat surface, which means it will need to be tightened with a wrench.
Our standard and slotted hex machine screw options are made from stainless steel, and our indented hex machine screws are zinc plated for enhanced corrosion resistance.
