Caliber Enterprise is a leading cheese head screws manufacturer. Cheese head screws are precision fasteners characterized by a cylindrical head with a flat top and deep slot, allowing for controlled torque and secure installation using standard screwdrivers. They are widely available in stainless steel, carbon steel, brass and alloy variants, making them suitable for diverse applications across electrical panels, small machinery and precision equipment. Thread sizes typically range from M2 to M16 in metric units and #2 to ⅝ inch in imperial units, meeting standards such as ISO 1207, DIN 84 and ANSI B18.6.3. The extended head height offers improved grip for manual fastening in confined or delicate assemblies.
These screws are commonly finished with coatings such as zinc plating, black oxide or nickel for enhanced corrosion resistance. Built to serve the requirements of B2B operations in heavy engineering, project procurement and fabrication driven environments. They are compatible with both coarse and fine thread applications and often used in conjunction with washers or spacers to distribute load. In electronics and instrumentation, cheese head screws are preferred for their compact head profile and precise fit within counterbored holes. For environments requiring conductivity or non magnetic properties, brass and bronze versions are available.

Equipped with a cross recessed drive, these screws provide improved torque control and are widely used in PCB modules, surface mounted panels, and automated assembly systems.
What are cheese head screws used for?
Cheese head screws are primarily used in precision assemblies where a cylindrical head and controlled torque application are required. Their tall, flat topped heads allow for easy screwdriver engagement, making them ideal for electrical panels, terminal strips, instrument casings and light machinery. These screws are often installed in counterbored holes, ensuring a clean and secure fit without protrusion. Due to their reliable clamping force and slot depth, they’re preferred in low vibration environments where fastening precision is critical.
What makes cheese head screws different from other fasteners?
Cheese head screws are distinguished by their tall, cylindrical head and deep slotted drive, providing better engagement for hand tools than standard round or pan head screws. Unlike other fasteners, they offer a greater bearing surface under the head, reducing the risk of surface damage and improving load distribution. This makes them especially suitable for applications involving thin materials or soft surfaces. Their design also allows for easy removal and reinstallation, which is valuable in equipment requiring regular access or servicing.
Are cheese head screws available in different materials and drive types?
Cheese head screws are available in various materials such as stainless steel grades SS304 and SS316, carbon steel, brass, bronze, aluminum and titanium. The choice of material depends on the mechanical strength, corrosion resistance or electrical conductivity required by the application. While the traditional drive type is a slotted head, other options like Phillips, combination slotted/Phillips or tamper resistant drives can also be provided. This flexibility in material and drive configuration allows them to be used across mechanical, electrical and instrumentation based assemblies.
