What kind of stainless steel are Allen screws made out of?
What kind of stainless steel are Allen screws made out of?
Made from 18-8 stainless steel, these set screws are chemical resistant. They have serrations on the cup edge that grip the material surface to resist loosening. These metric 18-8 stainless steel set screws are chemical resistant. They have serrations on the cup edge that grip the material surface to resist loosening.
Which is the best set screw for unhardened shafts?
The soft tip of nylon tip set screws will compress and conform to the mating surface without marring making them ideal for use with unhardened shafts. They also insulate, lock without damage against screw threads and adjust shaft end play. The nylon tip is often mated with alloy steel and stainless steel bodies.
What kind of screwdriver do I need for Allen wrench?
The standard drive type for most screws. Similar to Phillips. Requires a Frearson driver for installation. A slot in the head. A combination of slotted and Phillips drives. A hexagonal hole for use with an Allen wrench. Installs with a normal slotted driver but can not be removed without special tools. Also known as Robertson drive.
Why are Allen screws good for high vacuum?
Seal out contaminants and prevent leaks— a rubber O-ring under the head prevents leaks and seals out contaminants. Drilled through the head and shaft, these screws vent fluid and gases trapped below the screw, making them good for vacuum applications. Fasten these screws inside a high-vacuum system without bringing in contaminants.
Why are Allen head screws made out of nylon?
The nylon patch bonded to the threads of these socket head screws adds friction to keep vibration from loosening them, while their O-ring prevents leaks and seals out contaminants. Drilled through the head and shaft, these screws vent fluid and gases trapped below the screw, making them good for vacuum applications.

What kind of temperature to use Allen screws?
These screws are specially tempered to meet ASTM A193 specifications for temperatures up to 1100° F. Use these general purpose 18-8 stainless steel screws for a variety of fastening applications. They have good chemical resistance.
