Alloy Steel Socket Shoulder Bolts (Stripper Bolts)

Alloy steel socket shoulder bolts, commonly referred to as stripper bolts, are precision fasteners manufactured with a accurately machined shoulder and an internal hex drive. The precision shoulder functions as a bearing surface, guide, pivot, spacer, or locating feature, while the threaded portion secures the assembly. Their cylindrical socket head allows installation where external wrench clearance is limited, making them well suited for compact mechanical assemblies requiring accurate alignment and controlled movement.

Manufactured from alloy steel, these socket shoulder bolts are intended for demanding industrial mechanical applications. They are commonly specified for dies, molds, tooling, fixtures, automation equipment, robotics, conveyor systems, indexing mechanisms, guide assemblies, rollers, cams, linkages, packaging machinery, maintenance repairs, and OEM manufacturing where repeatable positioning and dependable performance are essential.

Proper fastener selection should consider shoulder diameter, shoulder length, thread size, threaded length, head diameter, head height, hex socket size, bearing requirements, mating-component tolerances, installation clearance, and service conditions. Individual product pages provide verified engineering dimensions to assist engineers and purchasing professionals in selecting the correct shoulder bolt for each application.

Cold Headers supplies alloy steel socket shoulder bolts (stripper bolts) in a broad range of shoulder diameters, shoulder lengths, thread sizes, and body lengths, including standard, uncommon, and difficult-to-source configurations. Our catalog is organized to simplify exact-size sourcing while providing consistent engineering information across every product family.

Why Choose Alloy Steel Socket Shoulder Bolts (Stripper Bolts)?

  • Precision shoulder: Functions as a bearing surface, guide, pivot, spacer, or locating feature.
  • Internal hex drive: Allows installation using standard hex keys where external wrench clearance is limited.
  • Alloy steel construction: Intended for demanding industrial mechanical applications.
  • Broad industrial use: Commonly specified for dies, molds, fixtures, tooling, automation equipment, and OEM assemblies.
  • Verified engineering dimensions: Product pages provide shoulder diameter, shoulder length, thread size, head dimensions, and hex socket size where available.

Selecting the Correct Socket Shoulder Bolt

Begin by confirming the required shoulder diameter, shoulder length, thread size, and threaded length. Review bearing requirements, mating-component tolerances, installation clearance, operating conditions, and assembly requirements before selecting a fastener. Final selection should reflect the functional and mechanical requirements of the completed assembly.

Cold Headers Inc. has supplied specialty industrial socket fasteners since 1962. Our catalog helps engineers, distributors, maintenance professionals, and purchasing teams locate exact shoulder dimensions, uncommon sizes, and difficult-to-find socket shoulder bolts (stripper bolts) without unsupported inventory claims.
