Socket Shoulder Screw 5/16 1/4-20 PK25 MPN:08026

The socket shoulder screw is a type of screw that provides both adjustment and locking capabilities; ideal for applications where tightening or loosening might be required frequently. The shoulder under the head allows for torque to be applied, causing compression against a mating component, while the socket's round shape enables it to drive as a normal screw, providing better alignment and reduced wear compared to hexagon sockets. This versatility makes it suitable for use in various industries including automotive, aviation, mechanical engineering, electronics assembly and manufacturing of machinery requiring precision adjustments or vibration-proofing mechanisms. Additionally, its double square recess reduces the chance of slipping off a tool bit or hex driver when torqued. Its overall design offers strength, reliability, and ease-of-use in numerous socket screw applications.
