Imperial Phillips Raised Countersunk Screws.

What are Imperial Phillips Raised Countersunk Screws?

Imperial Phillips Raised Countersunk Screws are precision-engineered fasteners that combine the practicality of a Phillips drive with the aesthetics and performance of a raised countersunk head. As an inherent feature of the raised countersunk design, these screws can sit flush with the workpiece while providing an enhanced clamping area, thereby facilitating effective load distribution. They are key components in the assembly of precision instruments, aerospace components, and micro-electronics due to their precise machining and consistent performance.

How Imperial Phillips Raised Countersunk Screws Work

The operational efficiency of Imperial Phillips Raised Countersunk Screws lies in their mechanical interaction with a corresponding thread - either an imperial nut or a pre-tapped hole in a workpiece. The raised countersunk head, when paired with a bevelled opening, aligns with the surface of the workpiece to create a smooth, flush finish. This eliminates potential snag points, a critical factor in high-speed or precision assemblies. The Phillips drive allows for optimal torque transfer, striking a balance between securing strength and control, thus minimising cam-out or stripping during high-torque application.

What Material Are Imperial Phillips Raised Countersunk Screws Made From?

Constructed with a focus on durability and environmental resilience, Imperial Phillips Raised Countersunk Screws are made from A2 Stainless Steel and A4 Marine Grade Stainless Steel. Both these materials exhibit superior resistance to oxidation and many corrosive agents. However, the A4 Marine Grade Stainless Steel variant offers exceptional corrosion resistance, especially against chloride and other saline environments, a feature that qualifies these screws for marine and offshore applications. Additionally, for specific aesthetic or functional demands, we provide the AccuBlack service, delivering a robust, non-reflective matte black finish to your screws.

What Size and Type of Imperial Phillips Raised Countersunk Screws Are Available?

Accu's extensive range of Imperial Phillips Raised Countersunk Screws caters to diverse engineering needs, spanning from the smallest thread size of 1/4 inch to the larger No. 10. With lengths also ranging between 3/16 inch to 3 inch, we have screws for every type of project.

These specifications align with the Imperial measurement system, which is predominantly used in the aerospace sector. Should your project require alternative head or drive styles, we also provide similar products like the Imperial Pan Head Phillips Screws and the Imperial Torx Countersunk Screws, which offer different mechanical and aesthetic characteristics.

FAQs

Q: Why would I opt for Imperial Phillips Raised Countersunk Screws over other fasteners?

A: The Imperial Phillips Raised Countersunk Screws offer a unique blend of performance and aesthetics. Their raised countersunk head design allows for a flush fit and better load distribution. The Phillips drive enables high torque application with reduced risk of cam out, making them ideal for precision and high-performance applications.

Q: Are Imperial Phillips Raised Countersunk Screws suitable for corrosive environments?

A: Yes, our Imperial Phillips Raised Countersunk Screws are made from A2 and A4 Marine Grade Stainless Steel, both of which provide excellent resistance against corrosion. The A4 Marine Grade variant offers enhanced protection in chloride-rich environments like the marine industry.

Q: What tool is needed for the installation of Imperial Phillips Raised Countersunk Screws?

A: A Phillips head screwdriver or bit is necessary for the installation of these screws. Accu offers a comprehensive range of tools suitable for a variety of Phillips drive sizes.

Q: How can I select the correct size of Imperial Phillips Raised Countersunk Screw for my application?

A: The correct screw size depends on various factors, including the material's thickness, the load requirements, and the dimensions of the pre-drilled countersunk holes. Our technical team can provide guidance based on your project's specifics.

Q: Does Accu allow ordering a small quantity of Imperial Phillips Raised Countersunk Screws?

A: Yes, Accu understands that each project has unique needs, thus offering the flexibility to purchase from a single unit to thousands of Imperial Phillips Raised Countersunk Screws.
