Shoulder Bolts: Custom-Engineered Solutions for High-Precision Applications
Engineered for Precision Alignment, Movement, and Mounting
Shoulder bolts also known as stripper bolts are specialty fasteners with a precision-machined shoulder separating the head from the threaded portion. This geometry allows them to function as guides, pivot points, mounting pins, or axles within mechanical assemblies that demand repeatable alignment and smooth motion.
Customization and Manufacturing Methods
At G-Fast Distribution, we provide shoulder bolts engineered to exacting tolerances. Whether cold-headed, hot forged, or machined from bar, each part is evaluated for performance, process capability, and manufacturability under our FASTENEERING® methodology.
Custom and Standard Shoulder Bolts for Industrial Use
Shoulder bolts, also known as stripper bolts, are a specialized type of fastener designed with an unthreaded shoulder between the head and threaded portion. This unique design allows them to function as pivot points, axles, guides, or mounting pins in precision assemblies. At G-Fast, we supply high-quality shoulder bolts engineered for durability, consistency, and reliability across a wide range of applications.
