W11144-003 - #8-32 x 1 Inch Socket Head Cap Screw Replacement Part

Reliable Industrial Fastening Solutions

The #8-32 x 1" Socket Head Cap Screw (SHC) is an essential component for Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) across various industrial sectors. Designed to provide a secure and high-strength connection, this fastener is critical for the assembly and repair of machinery, pneumatic tools, and structural components. The socket head design features a cylindrical head with a recessed hexagonal drive, allowing for the application of higher torque compared to standard slotted or Phillips head screws. This makes it the preferred choice for engineers and maintenance technicians who require reliability and precision in their fastening hardware.

Precision Engineering and Dimensions

This screw features a standard #8-32 UNC thread, a common size in North American industrial equipment, ensuring broad compatibility with existing tapped holes and nuts. The 1-inch length is measured from underneath the head to the end of the threads, providing sufficient reach for joining medium-thickness plates or securing components to castings. The precision-machined threads ensure a tight fit that resists loosening, which is particularly important in environments subject to mechanical vibration or thermal expansion.

Compact and Accessible Design

One of the primary advantages of the Socket Head Cap Screw is its space-saving profile. Because the drive is internal, there is no need for external wrench clearance, allowing these screws to be used in confined spaces or counterbored holes where other fasteners would not fit. This flush or recessed installation capability not only improves the aesthetic of the equipment but also reduces the risk of snagging on clothing or other moving parts, enhancing overall safety in the workplace.

Versatile Application

Whether you are repairing a conveyor system, assembling a custom jig, or performing routine maintenance on gas distribution equipment, having the correct hardware is vital. The #8-32 x 1" SHC is manufactured to meet rigorous industrial standards, ensuring consistent performance. It is compatible with standard hex keys (Allen wrenches), making installation and removal straightforward with common hand tools found in any technician's toolbox.
