Product Overview & Material Specifications
Material Options
Cold-headed carbon steel with plating to the drawing, or a stainless version where the fitting is exposed. Material, plating and finish are specified per drawing.
Technical Standards
The hex socket is made to standard key sizes; shank length and eccentric offset are set per drawing.
Precision Control
The eccentric offset is a key dimension on the drawing and is measured against it rather than left to the forming process.
Technical Advantages & Engineering Design
These eccentric screws are made to customer drawings for hinge assemblies in doors, windows and furniture.
Eccentric Offset Held to the Drawing
The eccentric offset and the position of the hex socket relative to it are both dimensioned on the drawing. Dedicated gauges and optical inspection are used on this family, because an offset that has drifted will not seat correctly in the hinge base.
Thread and Step Specified Together
The thread, the step diameter and the shank length are given on the drawing as one set, so the step seats at the depth the hinge expects and the thread engages over the length specified.
Standard Hex Drive for High Installation Efficiency
The hex socket is checked with a gauge, and the drawing calls out an undersized socket as the point to watch. The check is a test fit with the key, not a dimension read on its own.
Industry Applications
Door and Window Hinges
Used in door and window hinge assemblies, where turning the screw moves the hinge by the amount of the offset.
Furniture Hinges and Fittings
Used in furniture hinge and fitting hardware, where the screw is set into the carcass and the offset takes up the gap left by panel tolerances.
Lock and Latch Hardware
Used in lock and latch fittings to take up the clearance between the moving part and its keep.
