Stainless Steel Slotted Headless Screws
Product Overview
Slotted headless screws are indispensable fastening components in various precision engineering and industrial applications. These screws are designed without external heads, allowing for a clean, flush installation, particularly where space constraints or aesthetics are a factor. The presence of a slotted drive aids in manual or tool-based insertion and removal, offering simple usability while maintaining performance.
Slotted Headless Screws from Flybear Fastener are manufactured to the highest standards using premium-grade stainless steel, making them suitable for harsh environments requiring corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and reliability. These screws are often favored in applications such as electronics, machinery, precision instruments, and assemblies requiring minimal visibility of fasteners.

Material & Manufacturing Process
Our slotted headless screws are primarily made from high-quality stainless steel such as AISI 304 (A2) and AISI 316 (A4), which offer excellent corrosion resistance and strength. The production process includes:
- Cold forming or precision CNC machining
- Thread rolling using high-precision dies
- Slotting using CNC milling
- Heat treatment for enhanced performance
- Surface passivation as per ASTM A967 standards
This advanced manufacturing pipeline ensures dimensional accuracy, superior thread fit, and high reliability in operational conditions.
Industries and Application Scenarios
Slotted headless screws are vital in the following sectors:
- Electronics & PCBs: Securing components without interfering with circuitry
- Medical Devices: Where precision and hygiene are critical
- Aerospace: Lightweight and space-efficient fasteners
- Optoelectronics and Sensors: When minimal space and non-obtrusive designs are vital
- Mechanical & Static Assemblies: Locking functions in rotating parts
They are also frequently searched using terms like “miniature headless screws,” “set screws slot drive,” and “flush-fit fasteners” due to their role in high-precision installations.
