Button socket cap screws are ideal for applications in machine parts, clamping and die fixturing. Their socket head allows driving in places with insufficient space for wrenches or sockets. These stainless steel cap screws are made of alloy steel and have a coarse thread around them. Button socket screws have a wide bearing surface, high tensile strength and low profile like other socket cap screws.
The 1/2-13 X 5 button socket cap screw 18-8s have a recessed hexagon drive turned with a hexagon-shaped key and have a higher torque application than slotted or crossed recessed screws.
Benefits of Button Socket Cap Screws
The button socket screw has many benefits, such as:
- Durability: The stainless steel cap screws are made of high-quality 18-8s stainless steel that is rust-resistant and has a longer life.
- Corrosion resistance: The button steel cap is made of a steel alloy that makes it corrosion-resistant, more solid and harder to damage.
- Versatility: Button socket screws have a wide range of applications in homes, offices, ship assembly, garages, repair shops, mechanical industries and even home furniture fasteners.
- Easy to use: Button socket cap screws are easy to use, and they work even when you have limited space to use wrenches. You can use a hex key to drive them in.
Stainless Steel Cap Screw
Stainless steel cap screws are strong, and the coarse threading makes the screw firmer in its application. They have a thread size of ½"-13. The button socket caps are more aesthetically pleasing than other screws and have a high torque application. Some applications for button socket screws include:
- Boat repairs: These products from Chesapeake Marine Fasteners are ideal for boat repairs as they can withstand harsh maritime conditions without rusting or corrosion.
- Deck hardware installation: Use these screws to install cleats, chocks and hinges. Their low-profile finish makes them ideal for securing rigging rope and preventing it from snagging or catching on the sails.
- Electronics and instrument mounting: Button socket cap screws can work for mounting radar units, GPS systems and other navigation instruments.
- Seating and interior fixtures: Use these screws to fix cabinets, seats and other interior fixtures.
