New Captive Thumb Screws Products
What are Stainless Steel Captive Thumb Screws?
These stainless steel captive screws are fasteners available in hexagon, hex bolt, cheese head and captive button styles. They are available in A2 and A4 stainless steel.
Captive screws, also known as captive fasteners, are an alternative to a standard, fully threaded fastener. Captive fasteners are designed to partially screw into a threaded hole with a plain shank section, allowing the screw to go loose. Conventional screws typically pass through a clearance hole in one part and then screws into a threaded hole in a second part — so the first part is clamped to the second.
Where are Stainless Steel Captive Thumb Screws used?
The screw is designed to remain attached to a part or assembly even when loosened, preventing it from falling out during maintenance or disassembly.
These screws are commonly used in equipment where frequent assembly and disassembly occur, as the captive feature prevents losing the screw.
