Threaded Captive Washers

This range of Captive Washers has a very shallow thread on the inside diameter. This means they can be screwed on, and once past the threads they will not separate from the captive screw or bolt.

How to install a captive screw and washer assembly;
1) Place the captive screw into the panel hole.
2) Thread the washer on to the screw, beyond the threaded part of the screw, which retains the screw in the panel.

The washers are made from Stainless Steel that provides good resistance to corrosion and machinability. The material is a popular choice for construction and automotive applications.

  • Captive Washers has a very shallow thread on the inside diameter.
  • Once past the threads they will not separate from the captive screw or bolt.
  • Screw mounted.

Thrust Screws - Brass Pad

These brass pad thrust screws are designed to provide a controlled bearing surface for components that must be precisely positioned and attached while minimising axial movement or damage to the mating surface. It guarantees smooth, controlled action while reducing friction and wear.

As the screw turns, the brass pad applies pressure on the surface it touches, allowing for controlled movement or adjustment. It provides a secure and stable point of contact and is extremely wear-resistant.

It is simple to install under pressure, softly clamp or push threaded spindles, shafts, or surface-treated parts, and place more delicate parts. It is frequently utilised in mechanical assembly, precise instrumentation, calibration, and alignment.

  • Offers a controlled bearing surface for components that must be precisely positioned and attached.

Suitable for use in electrical enclosures, computer hardware, or any other application where electrical components must be protected while remaining safe.

Thumb Screws - Wing Plastic

These Thumb Screws - Wing Plastic are fasteners utilised in various applications that demand a secure and readily adjustable connection. These screws are made with a wing-shaped plastic head that offers leverage for simple twisting.

It has a strong grip and is simple to handle, allowing for quick and easy tightening or loosening by hand. The wing shape gives a wider surface area for the thumb or fingers to grasp, making it perfect for applications that need frequent adjustments. This function allows the user to apply torque without using extra tools.

Commonly used in industries such as electronics, automotive, and furniture manufacturing. They are especially suitable in situations that need a non-metallic connection since the plastic head protects sensitive or polished surfaces. As a result, they are ideal for fastening components, panels, or fittings without leaving unattractive marks or scratches.

Torx Head Flanged Cap Screws

These Torx Head Flanged Cap Screws are fasteners for various applications requiring a secure and durable connection. These screws combine the benefits of a Torx head screw with the help of a flanged head.

They are well-known for their exceptional grip and resistance to cam-out, making them suitable for applications requiring high torque. The flanged cap gives an extra layer of rigidity and support, making these screws perfect for situations where vibration or movement is an issue. This feature keeps the screws from becoming loose over time, guaranteeing a long-lasting and stable connection. It also spreads the screw heads weight across a broader area, preventing the screw head from sinking into the material and harming the surface.
