1/2 x 1 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. When installed in the proper assembly, the 1/2 x 1 shoulder can support a pivot, guide, spacer, or stop without relying on the threaded section as the working surface. Typical uses for the 1/2 x 1 shoulder include fixture stops, sliding supports, indexing hardware, and production machinery. For the 1/2 x 1 size, the 18-8 stainless steel construction helps resist corrosion from handling, humidity, routine cleaning, and mixed indoor or outdoor service, which can matter to oem equipment builders. It is intended for applications where the 1/2 x 1 shoulder size pair matches the existing mechanism. This 1/2 x 1 design supports tooling and fixture work where simple clamping would not provide the same functional bearing surface.
