Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong size hex driver, leading to cam-out and potential damage to the screw head.Always verify the hex driver size matches the screw head width (24mm for this M23 screw) before applying torque.
Over-torquing the fastener, which can lead to thread stripping or fastener breakage.Refer to torque specifications for M23 threads in the specific material being fastened and use a calibrated torque wrench.

Common Applications

  • Marine and offshore equipment assembly
  • Chemical processing plant construction
  • Food and beverage industry machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper thread engagement to avoid stripping.
  • Use appropriate torque settings to prevent over-stressing the fastener.
