Description
Overview
DIN84 defines the dimensional requirements for slotted cheese head machine screws, ensuring consistent selection and installation in mechanical assemblies.
This selected size is specified with diameter M6, length 50 mm, thread M6, pitch 1 mm.
Sold in multiples of '200 pieces. 1 Box = '200 pieces.
Material, Grade & Strength
Select the material and grade according to the required strength, corrosion exposure and service environment.
Finish & Corrosion Protection
Zinc plating provides economical sacrificial corrosion protection for indoor and general industrial service.
Typical Uses
Commonly used in electrical equipment, panels, covers, light machinery, fixtures and general workshop assemblies.
Technical Tips
- Use the correct screwdriver or drive bit to prevent head damage.
- Match the thread size with the tapped hole or mating nut.
- Use washers where load spreading or surface protection is required.
Selection Advice
Confirm the standard, size, material, finish and drive style before ordering to ensure compatibility with the assembly.
