Machine Screws, Cheese Head, Slotted – Metric (Various Sizes)

Description

Machine Screws, also known as body screws, are fasteners with a threaded shaft and a head designed to be used with a nut or tapped hole.

The cheese head design of these screws is characterized by a cylindrical shape with a slightly rounded top and a flat bearing surface underneath. The distinctive shape resembles a wheel of cheese, giving these screws their name. The large bearing surface of the cheese head distributes the load evenly, making it suitable for applications requiring high clamping force.

Characteristics:

• Slotted Drive: Machine screws with a slotted drive feature a straight linear slot on the head, requiring a flat-head screwdriver or a slotted screwdriver for installation or removal. The slotted drive offers simplicity and compatibility with a wide range of common hand tools, although it can be more prone to slippage compared to other drive types.
• Metric sizing ensures compatibility with other metric components and enables precise fitting in metric-based machinery and equipment.
• Full Threaded
• DIN 84
• Grade 4.8
• Zinc
