M12-1.75 x 12 18-8 Stainless Steel Metric Socket Head Cap Screw is a stainless metric SHCS for applications that need compact internal hex access and a cylindrical head. Head height in this socket head pattern corresponds to the nominal metric thread diameter, a useful check when reviewing counterbore clearance. The chromium-nickel stainless family resists rust and staining better than uncoated plain or alloy steel in many plant environments.
Packaging machinery uses metric stainless socket screws in frames, guides, covers, and adjustment hardware. For stainless-on-stainless threads, moderate installation speed and a suitable lubricant or anti-seize help reduce galling risk. 18-8 inch-series Socket Head Cap Screws fit the same material preference when the print is not metric.
Cold Headers supports hard-to-find metric stainless socket screw lengths while keeping the diameter, pitch, and length exact. Review the metric thread, length, head diameter, head height, socket size, and key engagement before substituting another screw.
