Detailed Engineering Specifications

A high-performance industrial component, this M15 x 62mm Nylon Hex Head Cap Screw features a precisely engineered M15 thread size, a 62mm nominal length, and a 17mm head width for optimal torque transfer. Constructed from high-grade Nylon (Polyamide), it exhibits excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, solvents, and moisture, preventing galvanic corrosion common in metallic fasteners. Its inherent dielectric properties make it suitable for electrical insulation in sensitive environments. The hex head design ensures reliable fastening with standard tools. The material's low coefficient of friction also facilitates smooth assembly and disassembly.
