Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between a 10-24 hex bolt and a machine screw?

While often used interchangeably, a 10 24 hex bolt (or hex cap screw) is typically designed to be used with a nut or in a tapped hole to clamp parts together, and is associated with higher strength grades. A machine screw is often smaller, may come with various head styles (pan, flat), and is frequently used in pre-tapped holes in metal or with nuts.

Can I use a 10-24 hex bolt in aluminum threads?

Yes, but caution is advised. To prevent galling (especially with stainless steel bolts) or stripping the softer aluminum threads, proper engagement length is crucial. A general rule is a minimum engagement of 1.5 times the bolt diameter. Using lubrication and avoiding overtightening are also recommended best practices.

What is the recommended torque for a Grade 5, 10-24 hex bolt?

Torque values depend on the finish and lubrication. As a general guideline, a zinc-plated Grade 5 10-24 hex bolt in a dry condition has a recommended torque of approximately 7-9 in-lbs. For critical applications, always consult engineering specifications or a torque chart based on the specific material, finish, and lubrication used.

Do you offer these bolts in other materials like brass or nylon?

Our standard inventory focuses on steel and stainless steel for industrial strength. However, we can source specialty materials like brass, silicon bronze, or nylon for specific applications (e.g., non-magnetic or highly corrosive environments) through our custom procurement services. Please contact our sales team with your requirements.

What are the packaging options for bulk orders?

We cater to B2B needs with flexible packaging. Standard options include 100-piece and 1,000-piece bulk boxes, or continuous-length reels for automated assembly. We can also provide custom bagging, kitting, and private labeling to integrate seamlessly with your production process.
