Project Description

We supplied these custom length shoulder bolts to our audio device manufacturer. The shoulder bolt is essentially an off-the-shelf 1/4 X 1 shoulder bolt with 10-24 rolled thread in 18-8 stainless steel material. Our customer was unable to use this version as-is due to the combined length of threaded portion and the machined fillet preceding it. In order to make use these parts that combined length had to be at .24″ +/- .01″. As a relatively simple operation we ran these parts through a cut and chamfer operation to get them to the correct length. Lead time for this operation was 1-2 weeks from receipt of the off-the-shelf version.

Large quantities of these custom length shoulder screws would be best supplied on a 12 month blanket purchase order basis. The Blanket Order concept allows the customer to access the large quantity cost savings without paying upfront for the entire large quantity order. Instead we take on the burden of carrying the bulk inventory and only release the parts as needed, or often on a pre-scheduled basis provided by the customer.
