Slotted screw DIN 464-M3-12 Z011796

Knurled screws – reliable fastening in industry and beyond

Knurled screws, manufactured in accordance with DIN 464 standard, are versatile fasteners, valued for their convenient assembly and disassembly without tools. The M3 model with a length of 12 mm, made of steel, is a solid solution for many applications – from mechanical devices to furniture structures. Their knurled head provides a firm grip, which translates to comfortable work for both the installer and the end user.

Construction and application

The DIN 464 knurled screw is characterized by a cylindrical head with knurled cuts. This solution allows the screw to be rotated with fingers, which is particularly useful in situations where access to the mounting location is limited or when frequent tightening and loosening of the element is necessary. Steel construction ensures strength and resistance to mechanical damage. They are widely used in:

• precision devices, where quick access to internal components is required
• machine and device housings, where frequent maintenance is standard
• furniture, where aesthetics and ease of assembly are key
• structural elements requiring adjustment or disassembly without tools.

Advantages of use

Choosing a DIN 464 knurled screw offers a number of benefits:

• Tool-free assembly: The knurled head allows for quick and convenient manual assembly and disassembly. This saves time and costs associated with using tools.
• Secure grip: The knurling provides a firm grip even in difficult working conditions.
• Durability: Steel construction guarantees high resistance to loads and long-term operation.
• Versatility: The DIN 464 standard ensures compatibility with a wide range of structural elements and devices.
• Easy adjustment: Knurled screws allow precise adjustment of the position of elements without the need for tools.
• Quick access: They allow quick opening of device housings for maintenance or repair.

It is worth remembering that knurled screws are not recommended for applications exposed to strong vibrations or impacts, as they may loosen. In such cases, it is better to use other types of screws with additional protection against loosening.
