Product ID: 10183572 – Screw, Socket Head Cap (M6-1.0 x 30mm)

Description:
This component is a socket head cap screw (SHCS) with metric dimensions: M6-1.0 thread x 30mm length . It is a high-strength threaded fastener featuring a cylindrical head with a hexagonal recess (hex socket drive) that requires an Allen wrench or hex key for installation and removal. This screw is used in waterjet cutting systems as a general-purpose fastener for securing critical components such as proximity switches, mounting brackets, valve assemblies, pump covers, and structural frame connections . It is designed for high-strength applications requiring corrosion resistance and reliable clamping force under vibration and hydraulic system pressures .

Applications:

• Used in waterjet cutting machines to fasten components such as proximity switches (e.g., Product ID 05127584), sensor mounting brackets, valve assemblies, pump covers, and frame connections

• Installed in high-pressure intensifier assemblies, sensor mounting blocks, manifold connections, and control cabinet components

• Suitable for both pure water and abrasive waterjet systems requiring reliable, high-strength fastening under vibration and moderate pressure conditions

• Compatible with KMT, FLOW, OMAX, WSI, BFT, TECHNI, Jet Edge, and other standard waterjet systems

Features:

• M6-1.0 x 30mm Dimensions: Metric thread size M6 with 1.0mm fine or coarse thread pitch and 30mm overall length measured from under the head to the tip

• Hex Socket Drive: Internal hexagon drive allows for secure tightening in confined spaces where traditional bolt heads cannot be accessed, using standard Allen wrenches (typically 5mm or 4mm hex key depending on manufacturing standards)

• High-Strength Construction: Manufactured from high-strength alloy steel or stainless steel (property class 12.9 or 18-8 stainless) for durability, corrosion resistance, and fatigue strength in waterjet environments

• Precision-Machined Threads: Precision-rolled or machined threads for consistent fit, stable torque performance, and uniform clamping force

• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Surface treatment (black oxide, zinc plating, or passivation for stainless steel) provides resistance to moisture and waterjet operating environments

Maintenance:

• Inspection: During disassembly, inspect the screw for signs of thread damage, galling, corrosion, or stretching. Replace any screw with visible damage or deformation

• Hex Socket Care: Use the correct size hex key (typically 5mm or 4mm depending on standard) to avoid stripping the hex socket; ensure the key is fully seated before applying torque

• Cleaning: Clean the screw with a soft cloth and compatible solvent to remove debris, old thread-locking compound, or corrosion before reuse

• Thread Lubrication: Apply manufacturer-recommended thread lubricant or anti-seize compound to threads during reassembly to prevent galling and ensure accurate torque application

• Torque Specification: Tighten the screw to the specific torque value listed in the equipment service manual. For standard M6-1.0 x 30mm steel screws in waterjet applications, typical torque values range from 8 to 12 Nm (70 to 105 in-lbs) depending on material grade and application

• Thread-Locking Compound: In high-vibration environments, apply medium-strength thread-locking compound (e.g., Loctite 242 or equivalent) as specified by the equipment manufacturer

• Full Depressurization: Always fully depressurize the waterjet system (both hydraulic and high-pressure water circuits) and follow lockout/tagout procedures before servicing any component secured by these fasteners

• Replacement Criteria: Do not reuse screws that have been over-torqued, stretched, show signs of thread deformation, corrosion, or have damaged hex sockets. Replace as a set when servicing critical assemblies

• Cross-Reference Information: This OEM part number cross-references with WK000105 (screw kit) and other manufacturer equivalents including Jet Edge (40021972) and A-Nut-65-8
