1/4-20 x 2 1/2 Alloy Steel Socket Head Cap Screw is specified when a machine assembly needs a high-strength alloy steel socket screw with predictable head and drive geometry. This size keeps the specified 1/4-20 thread and 2 1/2 in. length visible for service work where the exact thread and length are already defined. The screw is useful across automation systems, power transmission, and production lines when a compact internal-hex fastener is required. Alloy steel supports strength-focused fastening where clamp load and repeatable assembly are important. Those verified dimensions support counterbore checks, tool selection, and replacement fastener review. Technical Highlights Material: Alloy Steel Thread: 1/4-20 Length: 2 1/2 in.
