Machine Screws

Machine Screws are often used with nuts but also often tightened into tapped holes (without nuts). They might be considered a screw, or a bolt based on the Machinery’s Handbook distinction. In practice, they tend to be mostly available in smaller sizes up to M8.

A quality assured range of machine Screws is available with us in various head and drive styles.

Drive Styles

  • Slotted
  • Cross Recessed Phillips and Pozi drive
  • 6-Lobe Torx Drive
  • Allen Hex Socket Drive
  • Tamper-Resistant special drives for enhanced security.

Some special drives have also been developed although they have limited application.


Head Styles

Standard Head Styles:
Cheese head, PAN head, CSK (Countersunk) head, Truss head, Hex Head, Socket Cylindrical head, Flanged head, Low Cylindrical head, Headless Grub Screws etc


Special Styles:
Wing Screws, Eye Screws, Square Neck Dome Head, SEMS type with assembled washers, Captive type with reduced shank, 100° CSK Screws, 120° CSK and Ultra Low Profile Head Screws.


Thread Types

Metric Thread


Special Metric Tri-lobe Thread Forming Screws for Metal

Thread-rolling screws form their nut threads themselves when they are screwed into precut holes.

This not only saves assembly and production costs, but also creates stable and secure connections.

In contrast to thread cutting, the material structure in the mating thread is not interrupted when threading, but compressed and strain hardened.

The nut threads are automatically formed in cast blind holes, passages or in drilled, lasered or punched sheet metal parts.

A tri-lobe thread forming screw forms a thread with a machine screw’s thread pitch.

As each lobe of the screw moves through the pilot hole in the nut material, it forms and work hardens the nut thread metal, producing an uninterrupted grain flow.

For use in drilled, punched or cored holes in ductile metals and punch extruded metals without the need for tapping the material thread.

The tri-lobe thread shape enables the threads to form the internal thread. The screw is designed with a tapered point or commonly referred to as lead threads.

The tapered point allows for lower installation torque during initial thread forming. The tri-lobe shape is key to allowing the remaining threads to form threads with the lowest amount of installation torque.

One important thing to note when determining screw length is that the tapered portion of the thread cannot be fully loaded and should not be used to calculate proper screw length.


Unified Thread

Tri-lobe Thread Forming Screws for Metal

Thread-rolling screws form their nut threads themselves when they are screwed into precut holes.

This not only saves assembly and production costs, but also creates stable and secure connections.

They are available with Pan and CSK heads.

Available Stainless Steel SS-304 A2.

Go to the Thread Forming Screws for Metal page.


Captive screws

Captive screws basically are specially designed to lock into position in a hole, enabling easy setting up and removing of the attached pieces even without the complete removal of the screw.

Available with Philips, Allen head drives.

Go to the Captive Screws page.


SEMS Screws

Sems Screws are screws preassembled with free spinning washers. The assembly typically contains one plain washer and one split spring washer.

Go to the SEMS Screws page.


Ultra-Low Profile Thin Head Screws

Our range of Ultra-Thin head  are 77% thinner than conventional pan head which makes possible flat external surface and contributes low-profile design and weight saving.

These are now also available in Black Coated Finish.

Go to the Ultra Low Profile Screws page.


6-Lobe TORX MC Screws as per ISO 10664

The Torx compatible drive is a reliable method of fixing screws. Also known as the 6-Lobe drive this drive can take more torque and does not slip, making it a superior option over Allen or Phillips drives.

6-Lobe screws are available with various head style options:

Pan Head: The PAN Head is cylindrical head with a slightly rounded top surface and a flat bearing surface underneath, providing a very good and tight join.

Countersunk (CSK) or Flat Head: The countersunk head is useful to provide a flush level finish to the assembly.

Socket Head Cap Screws (SHCS): Torx SHCS is a very useful screw form that provides a very reliable fixing for machine construction.

Dome or Button Head: Button Torx screws provide lower profile fixing and are visually appealing.

Flanged Button Head: Flanged Button Torx screws are extremely useful to provide a low profile fixing in slotted holes and softer materials.

Go to the Torx Machine Screws page.


Cross Recessed Phillips MC Screws

The Phillips screw drive is among the most popular drive style for screws. Torx compatible drive is a reliable method of fixing screws. It has a conventional cruciform recess with all walls inclined, the end of the screwdriver having trapezoid webs.

Phillips screws are available with various head style options:

Pan Head: The PAN Head is cylindrical head with a slightly rounded top surface and a flat bearing surface underneath, providing a very good and tight join.

Countersunk (CSK) or Flat Head: The countersunk head is useful to provide a flush level finish to the assembly.

Truss Head: Truss head screws have a wider head providing a better joint and a lower profile finishing.

Pan Head with attached washer: Pan head with attached washer eliminates the need for an additional washer, evens the load on the target surface, helps to prevent the screw from loosening and ensures good grip to the material in which it is fastened.

Go to the Phillips Machine Screws page.


Allen Hex Socket Machine Screws

The Hex socket or Allen compatible drive is a common method of fixing screws. The width across flats of hexagon socket head screws is smaller than the WAF of hexagon head screws, permitting more economic design with smaller sizes.

Hexagonal socket screws are available with various head style options:

Socket Head Cap Screws (SHCS): Socket caps have a small cylindrical head with tall vertical sides. Allen (hex socket) drive is a six-sided recess [Internal Hex Socket] for use with an Allen wrench (hex key).

Allen Button Head: The Socket Button Head Screw design is primarily used where a lower profile head is required and for aesthetical reasons.

Countersunk (CSK) or Flat Head: The countersunk head is useful to provide a flush level finish to the assembly, usually where one part slides over another or one part is mounted on another.

Flanged Button Head: Flanged Button screws are extremely useful to provide a low profile fixing in slotted holes and softer materials.

Grub or Set Screws: A set screw is a threaded fastener that normally does not have a head. They are available in various points or end options.

Low Head Allen Cap Screws: Low head Socket caps have a smaller head height and are designed to be used in special applications where head height clearance is a problem.

Slotted Machine Screws

Slotted Machine screws have the traditional slot that runs horizontally through the middle of the head and is intended for use with a flat blade screwdriver bit. 

Slotted screws are available with various head style options:

Slotted Cheese Head (CHS): CHS screws have a flat topped nearly cylindrical shaped head.

Pan Head: The PAN Head is cylindrical head with a slightly rounded top surface and a flat bearing surface underneath, providing a very good and tight join. 

They have a larger head diameter and thinner head compared to cheese head screws.

Countersunk (CSK) or Flat Head: The countersunk head is useful to provide a flush, snag-free level finish to the assembly.

Truss or Mushroom Head: Truss head screws have a wider head providing a better joint and a lower profile finishing.
