This page features vacuum-compatible versions of our most popular screws. These screws are fabricated from specially selected grades of stainless steel and aluminum for vacuum and cleanroom use. All components are packaged in double airtight bags for cleanroom and vacuum chamber applications. The cross section of a vented screw to the right illustrates the benefits of vented screws when used within a vacuum chamber. We also offer standard cap screws and setscrews in a variety of sizes.

The TS25HV and TS6HV/M are 1/4"-20 or M6 x 1.0-threaded for compatibility with our imperial or metric Vacuum-Compatible Ø1/2" Post Holders, respectively. Please note that we do not recommend using an L wrench hex key to tighten these thumbscrews, as this may break off the screw head. The recommended maximum torque is 28 in·lbs (3.2 N·m). We also offer standard spring-loaded thumbscrews. ![]() TS25HV Drawing | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
