Hex Head Shoulder Screws are uniquely designed fasteners with a hexagonal head and a stepped body. This step structure allows the bolts to provide solid support and precise positioning during installation for assemblies that require a high degree of precision and reliability. The hex head design allows for tightening with a hex wrench or wrench, providing excellent torque transfer and ease of operation.Hex Head Shoulder Screws are widely used in mechanical engineering, electronic equipment, automotive manufacturing, and other industrial applications, such as when bearings need to be held in place, parts need to be positioned, and structures need to be supported. Common materials include stainless steel, carbon steel and alloy steel, and different surface treatments can be selected to enhance corrosion resistance and strength depending on specific needs. Popular for their reliability and versatility, these bolts are an integral part of complex mechanical assemblies.
