Detailed Engineering Specifications

Specified by design engineers worldwide, this M6 x 134mm polycarbonate hex head cap screw features a robust M6 thread and an extended 134mm length for deep engagement. The substantial 28mm head width provides ample surface area for torque application, minimizing stress on mating components. Polycarbonate's inherent properties include excellent impact resistance, broad chemical inertness, and non-conductivity, making it suitable for environments where metal fasteners would corrode or interfere with electrical systems. Its lightweight nature further contributes to overall assembly efficiency and reduced load.

Installation Procedure

1. Clean both the screw threads and the receiving hole to remove any debris. 2. Carefully thread the polycarbonate hex head cap screw into the receiving hole, ensuring proper alignment to prevent cross-threading. 3. Tighten the screw using an appropriately sized wrench or socket, applying consistent torque until secure. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the polycarbonate material.
