What Are Machine Screws?

Machine screws have a diameter of less than 0.75 inches, making them significantly smaller than conventional screws. They are used to securely connect machine components. Because of their small size, they can be used with many different materials and objects, though they are most commonly found in electronics, industrial equipment and engines. 

They are also distinguished from other types of screws for their uniform threading, which means their threads have the same diameter for the entire length of the shaft. As a result, they are best suited for pre-drilled holes. 

Machine screws may be finely threaded at 32 threads per inch or coarsely threaded at 24 threads per inch.

  • Pan-head screws: The pan-head screw is one of the most common rounded head styles, with a small profile popularly used within household applications. They are flat on top and slightly curved on the sides and offer a slightly larger surface area for a firmer hold. 
  • Hex washer head screws: Hex head screws are built with a six-sided head atop full, pre-formed machine threads delivering extreme flexibility and unrivaled performance. This type of machine screw offers more torque for secure fastening using socket, standard or adjustable wrenches.
