    Precision-Adjust Ball-Tip Thumb Screws

    Make precise adjustments where tight tolerances are critical. With ultra-fine threads, these thumb screws are often found on measuring devices and photonic equipment. The rolling ball tip maintains contact and swivels 360° so you can make adjustments without loosening the screw. The narrow width of the head allows these thumb screws to fit in spaces with limited clearance. The knurled texture creates extra grip as you twist. These thumb screws combine the strength of stainless steel with a lightweight plastic head that won’t rust.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    18-8 Stainless Steel with Acetal Head—With a stainless steel body and an acetal head, these screws resist moisture and are chemical resistant.

    These set screws make the finest adjustments of any we sell. With ultra-fine threads, these screws are found on measuring devices and photonic equipment, where minute adjustments and tight tolerances are critical. They also fine-tune sensors on automated equipment and ensure repeatable positioning on jigs and fixtures. Generally used in dry, controlled environments, the alloy steel tip can oxidize in wet or outdoor environments.
