Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this M15 x 87mm hex head cap screw features a nominal diameter of 15mm and an overall length of 87mm. The head boasts a 19mm width for standard wrenching. Constructed from high-grade nylon, it exhibits excellent chemical resistance to many solvents, oils, and acids, making it suitable for corrosive environments. Its inherent non-conductive properties also provide superior electrical insulation. The material offers a favorable strength-to-weight ratio, reducing overall assembly mass. Recommended operating temperature range is -40°C to 100°C.

Installation Procedure

1. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris. 2. Hand-thread the screw to engage initial threads to prevent cross-threading. 3. Tighten using a standard wrench on the hex head to the specified torque, avoiding over-tightening which can strip nylon threads.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the nylon screw.Use a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended torque for nylon fasteners to prevent thread stripping.
Using in applications exceeding the recommended temperature range.Verify the operating temperature of the application falls within the nylon screw's specified range (-40°C to 100°C).

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosures and components
  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Food and beverage machinery
  • Marine environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not recommended for structural load-bearing applications where high tensile strength is critical.
  • Avoid exposure to strong UV radiation for prolonged periods, which can degrade nylon over time.
