Detailed Engineering Specifications

Engineered for reliability and performance, this M21 x 70mm hex head cap screw is manufactured from high-strength, durable nylon. With a head width of 35mm, it offers a broad bearing surface for secure fastening. Nylon's inherent properties include excellent chemical resistance to many solvents and acids, low friction, and non-conductivity, making it suitable for applications where galvanic corrosion is a concern or electrical insulation is required. Its temperature range and tensile strength are optimized for general-purpose industrial and commercial use, providing a lightweight alternative to metal fasteners.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the nylon screw, which can lead to thread deformation or head cracking.Use a torque wrench to apply the recommended torque value for nylon fasteners. If a torque wrench is unavailable, tighten until snug and then apply an additional quarter turn.
Using the screw in applications exceeding its maximum temperature rating, compromising material integrity.Consult the technical data sheet for the specific nylon grade to confirm its operating temperature range and ensure it aligns with the application's environmental conditions.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosures and equipment mounting
  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Lightweight structural assemblies
  • Medical device manufacturing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not recommended for high-load or high-vibration applications where metal fasteners are typically required.
  • Avoid exposure to strong oxidizing agents or prolonged exposure to UV radiation, which can degrade nylon over time.
