Imperial Cheese Head Screws.

What are Imperial Cheese Head Screws?

Imperial Cheese Head Screws are a distinct variety within the broader family of machine screws, appreciated for their robust design evocative of a wheel of cheese. Noteworthy for their broader head diameter and flat bearing surface, these screws are appreciated for their excellent clamping power. Featuring a slotted drive design, the Imperial Cheese Head Screws offer accuracy in torque application, making them an indispensable asset in precision engineering.

How Imperial Cheese Head Screws Work

The functionality of Imperial Cheese Head Screws depends on their interaction with a compatible thread, typically an imperial nut or a pre-tapped hole. The large head diameter, a characteristic of the cheese head design, allows for a wider bearing surface, which in turn offers an evenly distributed load, preventing any material distortion. Moreover, their slotted drive type delivers advanced torque control, significantly reducing the possibility of thread stripping. These features make Imperial Cheese Head Screws a top choice for precise fastening operations.
