Slotted screw DIN 464-M5-16 Z011814

Knurled screws – precision and functionality in every detail

Knurled screws, such as the DIN 464-M5-16 model, are fastening elements with a wide range of applications in industry, precision mechanics, and device assembly. They are characterized by a knurled head, which allows for convenient and secure grip during manual tightening – an ideal solution where speed and no need for tools are important. Made of steel, they provide strength and corrosion resistance, which translates into long life and reliable connections.

Construction and application

The DIN 464-M5-16 screw is an element with a thread diameter of M5 and a length of 16 mm. The knurled head facilitates assembly and disassembly without the need for additional tools, which is particularly useful in situations requiring frequent adjustments or repairs. They find applications in many industries:

• Mechanical engineering: Assembly of machine housings, structural elements.
• Electrical devices: Mounting elements in housings, control panels.
• Furniture: Assembly of furniture elements, especially where quick access to the connection is required.
• Automotive industry: Assembly of interior trim elements of vehicles.
• General assembly: all kinds of connections requiring manual tightening.

Advantages of using knurled screws

• Quick assembly and disassembly: The knurled head allows for easy tightening and loosening of the screw without tools. This saves time and increases efficiency for both the installer and the end user.
• Comfortable grip: The textured surface of the knurling provides a secure grip even with work gloves.
• Strength and reliability: Steel construction guarantees high tensile and compressive strength and corrosion resistance – key features for durable connections.
• Versatility: A wide range of applications makes knurled screws an ideal solution for many assembly projects.
• Aesthetic appearance: The knurled head gives the screw an aesthetic appearance, which is important in the case of visible structural elements.
