PEEK (SHCS) Socket Cap Inch Screws manufactured in accordance with ASME B18.3 are engineered for demanding applications requiring exceptional mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. Produced from Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK), these UNC-threaded fasteners provide an excellent combination of load-bearing capability, dimensional stability, and long-term reliability in extreme operating environments.
The socket head cap (SHCS) of these screws allows for high-torque installation. Compared to metal fasteners, PEEK is lightweight, nonmagnetic, electrically insulating, and can uphold these properties at elevated temperatures, making them a better choice in semiconductor equipment, aerospace systems, medical devices, chemical processing installations, and industrial machinery applications.
