This 8 x 8mm socket shoulder screw is manufactured to ISO 7379 in A2 stainless steel (304 grade). ISO 7379 specifies a screw with a precision ground cylindrical shoulder between the head and a smaller diameter thread, for use as a pivot or guide. Property class A2-070 indicates a minimum tensile strength of 700 MPa - stronger than standard A2-50 and suited to structural fixings where higher clamping force is needed. The ground shoulder runs to a close diameter tolerance and acts as a bearing surface or axle, letting parts rotate or slide on it while the smaller thread anchors the screw.

Typical applications

  • Pivot points for levers, links, and rotating parts
  • Guides and stops in tooling and jigs
  • Die sets and stripper plate assemblies
  • Precision machine build

How do I choose between A2 and A4 stainless steel?
