Material: SS304
The M3 x 5mm Grub screw is 3mm in diameter and 5mm long. Made from SS304 material these grub screw has a high corrosion resistance.
A grub screw is generally used to secure an item against another item. It is commonly used as a locking device, particularly on custom modified Gears, pillow ball bearings, taper locking bushes, pulleys or adjusting rings.
Grub Screws are designed with a hexagonal internal drive in the head, allowing them to be tightened and loosened with an Allen key.
Strong and Durable ConstructionManufactured from high-quality SS304 stainless steel, the M3 x 5mm grub screw offers superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Its temperature resilience from -200C to +800C allows it to perform well in extreme conditions without degradation, making it a favored choice across many industries.
Versatile Headless DesignThe headless (socket set) design helps ensure a flush fit within components, minimizing interference and enhancing the appearance of assemblies. A hex socket drive enables reliable torque application and secure installation using a standard hex key, adding versatility to various applications.
FAQs of M3 X 5mm Grub Screw SS304 (Dia. 3mm, Length 5mm):
Q: How is the M3 x 5mm grub screw typically installed?
A: This grub screw is installed by inserting a hex key (Allen wrench) into the hex socket drive, allowing you to turn and tighten it securely. Its headless design ensures a flush finish within the threaded hole.
Q: What are the main applications of this SS304 grub screw?
A: The M3 x 5mm SS304 grub screw is commonly used for securing components in fine machinery, electronic devices, automotive assemblies, and industrial equipment due to its compact size and high corrosion resistance.
Q: When should I choose a SS304 stainless steel grub screw over other materials?
A: SS304 is ideal when you require high corrosion resistance, strength, and performance under extreme temperatures (-200C to +800C), such as in demanding industrial or outdoor environments.
Q: Where is this type of grub screw commonly sourced from?
A: These grub screws are widely available from manufacturers, service providers, and suppliers across India, and are generally supplied in bulk or packet packaging to suit different business needs.
Q: What are the key benefits of using a headless (socket set) screw in assemblies?
A: A headless design allows for discreet, flush installation, reduces snag risks, and enables use in confined spaces where protruding heads would interfere with functionality or aesthetics.
Q: Is the M3 x 5mm SS304 grub screw magnetic?
A: This screw is slightly magnetic due to the properties of SS304 stainless steel, which can exhibit mild magnetic behavior after certain manufacturing processes.
