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.
