Machine Screws

What Are Machine Screws?

Machine screws are often known as "machine bolts" and appeal to construction crews, engineers, builders, manufacturers and electricians. Designed for long-term fastening applications, machine screws are ideal for securing two metal components together through the means of a tapped (threaded) hole or a washer and nut. Depending on the application, these devices are capable of countersinking and can create flush connections across machines, automobile engines and even furniture.

Machine screws differ from standard bolts and hardware in that these units have threads up the entire length of the screw shaft. At FMW Fasteners, our experts want you to get the most out of your investments, so our screws are removable and reusable (based on condition) for versatility between projects.

Purchasing machine screws from FMW Fasteners is a proactive way to mount metal objects without the use of nails or messy adhesives. You and your team can better seal connections from moisture and prevent the stripping of base materials by incorporating our products into your daily practices. All of our machine screws are available with zinc-plated or stainless steel finishes for corrosion resistance indoors and outdoors.

Installing Machine Screws

The process for installing machine screws begins with identifying the type of connection you are fastening. Do you have access to both sides of a base material, or is the device tightening completely into a threaded hole? If a washer and nut is necessary for proper fastening, make sure you have these pieces close by.

Start your machine screw installation by lining up the items you wish to attach and ensuring any pre-cut holes pair up accordingly. Take your machine screw and place the end of the hardware into the tapped hole. Use an appropriate drill bit, screwdriver or socket wrench (depending on head) to tighten the screw until you see the device make contact with the base material.

If your machine screw is driving directly into a threaded insert housing, repeat these steps based on the number of screws required for your installation. If you can see the head of the screw as well as the opposite side of the threading, guide a washer and nut onto the screw shaft to prohibit any movement. Simply tighten the assembly, and your installation is complete.
