· Product Overview
Introducing the YITECH Precision Stainless Steel Adjustable Threaded Studs with Hex-Head Locking Collars — a pair of high-performance, modular fasteners engineered for micro-adjustment, rigid axial positioning, and secure clamping in precision mechanical assemblies. Each stud features:
- A fully threaded shaft (M4/M5/M6) for fine linear adjustment
- A central hexagonal locking collar that slides along the thread and locks via friction or set screw (optional)
- A flat hex head at one end for tool-driven tightening or indexing
Unlike standard screws or rods, these studs are designed as adjustable spacers — allowing users to precisely set distances between components (e.g., sensor-to-lens, motor-to-gear, or plate-to-plate gaps) and then lock the position permanently or semi-permanently. The two units shown exemplify symmetry and interchangeability: they can be used independently or paired for dual-sided adjustment.
Crafted from A2-70 / 304 stainless steel, they combine superior corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and dimensional stability. The uniform matte brushed finish, precision-machined threads, and tight tolerances ensure smooth operation, zero backlash, and long-term reliability — even under vibration, thermal cycling, or repeated adjustment cycles.
Ideal for engineers, robotics builders, and industrial designers who demand repeatability, fine control, and tool-assisted locking without complex mechanisms.
· Core Specifications
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Material | AISI 304 Stainless Steel (A2-70 grade), fully annealed for optimal machinability |
| Surface Finish | Uniform matte brushed (Ra ≈ 0.35 μm); threads electro-polished (Ra ≤ 0.2 μm) |
| Overall Length | Standard: 38mm total (threaded length = 26mm); customizable 25–100mm |
| Shaft Diameter | Ø5mm (standard); optional: Ø4mm, Ø6mm |
| Thread Type | Metric external thread: M4 / M5 / M6 (fine pitch, Class 6g tolerance) |
| Locking Collar | Hexagonal, 8mm across flats × 6mm thick; internal bore = shaft OD + 0.02mm clearance; optional set-screw hole (M2) |
| Head End | Flat hex head (8mm AF), 3mm thick; chamfered edges for safe handling |
| Tolerance | ±0.01mm (thread major diameter), ±0.02mm (length), concentricity ≤0.015mm |
| Processing Method | 5-axis CNC turning + hex milling + thread rolling + deburring + passivation |
| Max Axial Load | 900 N (static, M6 version); tested at 550 N dynamic (10G vibration, 1M cycles) |
| Adjustment Resolution | ~0.05mm per full turn (M5, 0.5mm pitch) — ideal for micropositioning |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +150°C (short-term up to 200°C) |
· Application Scenarios
These adjustable threaded studs are purpose-built for applications requiring precise, repeatable, and lockable axial spacing:
- Optics & Imaging Systems
→ Lens-to-sensor distance calibration in machine vision cameras
→ Laser diode mounting with focus fine-tuning
→ Interference filter or polarizer spacing in spectrometers - Robotics & Actuation
→ Gear mesh adjustment in planetary reducers
→ Servo horn offset tuning for joint alignment
→ End-effector height calibration (e.g., gripper-to-workpiece gap) - Industrial Automation
→ Sensor bracket spacing on conveyor systems
→ Pneumatic cylinder stroke limiters
→ Modular fixture height adjusters (e.g., for PCB testing jigs) - CNC & 3D Printing
→ Z-axis bed leveling posts (replacing springs)
→ Extruder drive gear spacing for tension control
→ Tool holder concentricity shims - DIY & Prototyping
→ STEM kits requiring variable-length linkages
→ Drone payload mounts with micro-adjustment
→ Custom enclosures with user-tunable component spacing
💡 Why this design stands out:
- True micrometer-level adjustment: Thread pitch enables sub-0.1mm repeatability
- Tool-assisted locking: Hex head allows precise torque application; collar prevents drift
- No adhesives or springs needed: Pure mechanical adjustment — reliable across temperature extremes
- Modular pairing: Use one stud for single-side adjustment, or two for symmetric clamping

Q3: Can I customize the collar (e.g., add a set screw, change hex size, or use a knurled grip)?
A: Yes! Full customization supported:
A: Yes! Full customization supported:
- Collar: Hex (standard), knurled, flanged, or with M2 set-screw hole
- Head: Flat hex, countersunk, or spherical cap
- Threads: M3, M4, M5, M6 (metric), UNC #4–#8

Just send your requirements — we'll provide a 3D model, tolerance analysis, and quote within 2 hours.
Q4: How do I adjust and lock the position?
A:
A:
- Slide the hex collar to desired position along the threaded shaft.
- Tighten the hex head with a wrench (e.g., 2mm Allen key for M5) — this compresses the collar against the target surface, creating friction lock.
- For permanent lock: apply thread locker (e.g., Loctite 222) to the collar-thread interface before final tightening.
- Optional: drill & tap M2 hole in collar and install set screw for absolute zero-drift.
