Project Description

We had a small batch of these custom 316 stainless steel shoulder screws produced domestically for our electronics OEM customer. Partial 4-40 thread was incorporated, with a machined shoulder incorporated per our customer specifications. Due to the smaller quantity involved the hex socket drive was broached rather than cold headed – you can see the slight rough nature of the drive when zooming into the photo. The lead time for these parts was relatively fast, with 2-3 weeks for production.

Large quantities of these custom made parts 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.
