Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this M17 x 150mm hex head cap screw is crafted from high-grade brass alloy. The material's inherent resistance to corrosion and tarnishing, particularly in marine and humid environments, ensures long-term integrity. Its non-magnetic properties are critical for applications sensitive to magnetic interference, such as those involving sensitive electronic equipment or medical devices. The M17 thread size and 150mm length provide substantial clamping force and reach, while the 17mm head width ensures proper tool engagement for secure installation. This screw is well-suited for applications requiring both strength and environmental resilience.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the brass screw, which can lead to thread stripping or head deformation.Always use a torque wrench and adhere to manufacturer-recommended torque specifications for brass fasteners.
Using the wrong tool size on the hex head, resulting in cam-out and potential damage.Confirm the correct hex socket size (17mm for this screw) before attempting to tighten or loosen.

Common Applications

  • Marine hardware and fittings
  • Electrical connectors and grounding
  • Chemical processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Brass may gall under extreme pressure; use lubrication for high-torque applications.
  • Do not use in applications requiring extreme tensile strength beyond the capabilities of brass.
