M10 x 40 Alloy Steel Metric Socket Head Shoulder Screw (Stripper Bolt) supports engineers designing metric tooling and OEM equipment with precise location, spacing, or guided travel requirements. The Stripper Bolt design separates the locating or bearing function from the threaded retention point, which helps maintain alignment in moving assemblies. Common uses include metric automation systems, indexing stations, locating nests, and automation upgrades; related sourcing may also include production machinery. Maintenance professionals can use the metric shoulder format when worn guide, pivot, spacer, or stop hardware needs direct replacement. The result is a serviceable metric shoulder screw for controlled movement, fixture alignment, and OEM production support. The internal hex drive helps keep installation practical in compact assemblies and serviceable equipment layouts.
