Machine screws are a type of fastener designed to secure two or more objects together by threading into a pre-tapped hole or nut. They are characterized by their uniform and straight threads, which enable them to create a strong and reliable connection.
Machine screws typically have a flat or rounded head that may include various drive types, such as slotted, Phillips or hexagonal. The choice of drive type depends on the ease of installation and the desired level of tamper resistance. Additionally, machine screws may be made from different materials like steel, stainless steel, brass or other alloys, depending on the specific requirements of the application and the desired level of corrosion resistance.
Machine screws are commonly used in machinery, equipment and various other applications where a tight and secure joint is required.
