Identify MS51575 slotted shoulder screws using nominal shoulder-diameter and length tables, related series comparisons and purchasing guidance.

// DIMENSION GUIDE

Shoulder diameter and shoulder length

Shoulder diameter and shoulder length
S is the smooth shoulder length from beneath the head to the shoulder transition. D is shoulder diameter. T marks the threaded-end section to the tip; its details and runout follow the selected specification.

Schematic only; not to scale. Letter labels are keys for this illustration. Use the applicable part specification for dimensions, tolerances and measurement conventions.

// IDENTIFICATION

What defines this shoulder screw?

The slotted drive distinguishes this series from the other precision shoulder family. The smooth shoulder is separately dimensioned from the male thread. Its length is measured from the bearing surface beneath the head to the shoulder transition.

Identify the selected shoulder diameter and length before comparing the threaded end. A thread match alone is insufficient to establish the same fit.

// SIZE TABLE

Nominal shoulder dimensions

Dimensions below are in inches and are nominal catalog references. Full tolerances, head details, material, finish and acceptance requirements remain controlled by the applicable standard and order. Search also accepts the thread sizes associated with these entries.

// COMPARISON

Check the matching dash number carefully

For example, MS51575-16 is cataloged with a 1/4-inch shoulder diameter and 1/8-inch shoulder length. MS51576-16 is cataloged with the same shoulder diameter but a 3/16-inch shoulder length. Do not carry a dash number across the series as an automatic conversion.
