M10 x 16 Alloy Steel Metric Socket Head Shoulder Screw (Stripper Bolt) is commonly specified when a metric assembly needs a controlled bearing surface for pivots, guides, spacers, or locating points. Engineers choose this product family when the shoulder must guide, pivot, space, or stop a component with more control than ordinary clamping hardware. Common uses include indexing equipment, OEM maintenance, guide pins, and repair hardware; related sourcing may also include Asian-built equipment. Repair technicians may source this product when service work calls for the same metric shoulder pair used in the original assembly. The shoulder can support controlled travel in fixtures, guides, pivots, and stops while the socket head allows accessible installation. It can also support guide mechanisms, fixture stops, and replacement maintenance where a consistent shoulder surface is part of the design.
