Shoulder screws with a socket head as opposed to a conventional head are known as socket shoulder
screws. The socket head makes use of an allen wrench or hex key for installation and removal simple.
Between the head and the threaded section of socket shoulder screws is a cylindrical shoulder that acts
as a bearing surface or a precise spacer between two components.
Steel, stainless steel, and brass are just a few of the materials that can be used for socket shoulder
screws. These materials can also be coated or plated for improved corrosion resistance or aesthetic
appeal. They are available in common lengths and sizes, but unique designs can also be produced to
satisfy particular application needs.

Uses for shoulder screws with sockets
In many different fields and applications where exact alignment, strong connections, and controlled
access are required, socket shoulder screws are used. Uses for socket shoulder screws include the
following: In the assembly of machinery and equipment, when exact alignment and strong connections are required, socket shoulder screws are used.
Aviation and aerospace: Socket shoulder screws are utilised in the aviation and aerospace sectors for
tasks like mounting machinery, fastening panels, and joining structural elements.
Automotive and transportation: Socket shoulder screws are employed in these sectors for tasks such
securing electrical connections, suspension parts, and engine components.
Socket shoulder screws are utilised in medical and dental equipment for a variety of applications.

Benefits of Shoulder Screws with Sockets
Compared to other types of fasteners, socket shoulder screws have a number of advantages, such as:
Simple installation and removal: Even in places with limited access, the socket head enables simple
installation and removal with an allen wrench or hex key.
Accurate alignment: The cylindrical shoulder acts as a bearing surface or spacer to help two components
align precisely.
robust and reliable connection: Socket shoulder screws offer a reliable and robust connection, which
makes them perfect for applications requiring resistance to shock or vibration.
The material, size, and length of socket shoulder screws can be changed to match the needs of a
particular application.
