M6 x 40 Alloy Steel Metric Socket Head Shoulder Screw (Stripper Bolt) offers a practical solution when a fastener must also act as a bearing surface, stop, pivot, spacer, or guide. 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 production machinery, plant maintenance, tooling support, and guided linear motion; 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. The internal hex drive helps keep installation practical in compact assemblies and serviceable equipment layouts.
