18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Shoulder Screws (Stripper Bolts)

Since 1962, Cold Headers has supplied precision 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Shoulder Screws (Stripper Bolts) to OEM manufacturers, industrial distributors, maintenance professionals, machine builders, and engineering teams throughout North America.

18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Shoulder Screws, commonly referred to as stripper bolts, are designed for applications requiring a precision shoulder that serves as a bearing surface, pivot, guide, spacer, stop, or locating feature. Unlike standard socket head cap screws, the accurately sized shoulder supports controlled movement while the threaded portion secures the assembly. The corrosion resistance of 18-8 stainless steel makes these fasteners well suited for equipment exposed to moisture, washdown environments, and general industrial service.

Typical applications include tooling, fixtures, automation equipment, machine building, food processing equipment, packaging machinery, conveyors, guide mechanisms, pivots, material handling systems, OEM manufacturing, and industrial maintenance where corrosion resistance and precision movement are important.

Description N/A 3/16 x 1/8 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Shoulder Screw (Stripper Bolt) is used when a precision shoulder needs to locate, guide, space, or support movement in a mechanical assembly. For the 3/16 x 1/8 shoulder size, the shoulder can control movement while preserving a repeatable spacing point. In practice, this 3/16 x 1/8 Stripper Bolt is suitable for machine guards, inspection fixtures, and guided maintenance components. For industrial distributors specifying the 3/16 x 1/8 size, 18-8 stainless steel provides a clean, corrosion-resistant option for shoulder screw locations in general industrial service. Its 3/16 x 1/8 geometry helps the assembly use the shoulder as the functional surface instead of relying on simple clamping. The 3/16 x 1/8 precision shoulder is especially useful where pivots, guides, spacers, or locating surfaces must stay consistent through service cycles.

N/A 3/16 x 3/16 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Shoulder Screw (Stripper Bolt) is specified for assemblies that need a precision shoulder to act as a bearing surface, pivot, guide, spacer, or stop. At the 3/16 x 3/16 size, the shoulder is intended to provide a bearing surface for guided or serviceable movement. Common placements for the 3/16 x 3/16 size include OEM builds, repair work, guide assemblies, and equipment that needs repeatable location. When oem equipment builders need the 3/16 x 3/16 size, 18-8 stainless steel works well for many indoor and outdoor applications where moisture resistance and clean hardware are important. The internal hex socket on the 3/16 x 3/16 fastener gives installers a familiar drive style for assembly, adjustment, and replacement work. This 3/16 x 3/16 design supports tooling and fixture work where simple clamping would not provide the same functional bearing surface.

N/A 3/16 x 1/4 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Shoulder Screw (Stripper Bolt) helps solve motion-control and location challenges where the shoulder is the working surface of the fastener. In a 3/16 x 1/4 shoulder application, the working surface can give the mating component a consistent shoulder surface for rotation, travel, or spacing. Equipment builders may use the 3/16 x 1/4 size in cleanroom-adjacent equipment, service fixtures, alignment stops, and guided machine details. The 3/16 x 1/4 product also gives maintenance teams a material choice where 18-8 stainless steel gives equipment builders a general-purpose stainless option for shoulder locations exposed to moisture or handling. The 3/16 x 1/4 part is useful for both new builds and replacement work where shoulder-based location must be maintained. The 3/16 x 1/4 combination of socket drive access and shoulder geometry helps simplify installation, service, and replacement in compact machinery.

N/A 3/16 x 5/16 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Shoulder Screw (Stripper Bolt) is selected when engineers need a shoulder screw that can fasten while also guiding or spacing a mating component. The 3/16 x 5/16 shoulder gives the mating part a surface that can serve as a locating shoulder in equipment where movement and spacing must remain consistent. The 3/16 x 5/16 Socket Head Shoulder Screw can support fixture stops, sliding supports, indexing hardware, and production machinery. With the 3/16 x 5/16 shoulder, engineers can use a fastener where 18-8 stainless steel is often selected for shoulder screw locations where moisture resistance and general-purpose stainless performance are required. The 3/16 x 5/16 size is best matched to assemblies that need a defined shoulder for movement, spacing, or location. It can help keep OEM assemblies consistent when the 3/16 x 5/16 shoulder is part of the movement or spacing requirement.
