Brass DIN 84 Cheese Head Screws
Comprehensive Overview of Premium Brass DIN 84 Cheese Head Screws
We are a specialised manufacturer and global supplier of precision-engineered Brass DIN 84 Cheese Head Screws, providing superior fastening solutions for applications requiring low-profile, high-strength connections with exceptional corrosion resistance. Our DIN 84 screws are manufactured from C36000 Free-Cutting Brass, selected for its excellent machinability, reliable mechanical performance, and outstanding environmental resistance. These screws feature the distinctive cheese head design with a slotted drive, characterised by their cylindrical head with a flat bearing surface and slightly domed top, providing an optimal balance between low profile and substantial bearing area. With advanced manufacturing capabilities and rigorous quality control systems, we deliver brass DIN 84 screws that excel in precision engineering, electrical applications, and industrial equipment where space constraints and reliable performance are paramount.
Brass DIN 84 Cheese Head Screws – Precision Low-Profile Fastening
Brass DIN 84 Cheese Head Screws are engineered for applications where a low-profile head is essential but a larger bearing surface than flat head screws is required. The cheese head design offers a unique combination of minimal protrusion and excellent load distribution, making these screws ideal for compact assemblies, precision instruments, and applications where clearance is limited. The inherent corrosion resistance of brass makes these screws particularly valuable in electrical, marine, and chemical environments where steel fasteners would deteriorate rapidly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between DIN 84 and other cheese head screw standards?
DIN 84 cheese head screws feature a specific head proportion with a slightly domed top and precise cylindrical form that distinguishes them from other standards. The DIN 84 specification defines exact head diameter to thread size ratios, specific slot dimensions, and controlled head height that ensure consistent performance and interchangeability. Compared to other standards, DIN 84 provides optimized proportions for precision engineering applications where both low profile and reliable bearing surface are critical.
Q2: Are brass DIN 84 screws suitable for high-vibration applications?
Yes, brass DIN 84 screws provide good performance in vibration applications due to their substantial bearing surface and reliable thread engagement. However, for extreme vibration environments, we recommend considering additional securing methods such as lock washers, thread locking compounds, or prevailing torque features. The cheese head design provides excellent clamp load distribution which helps maintain joint integrity under vibrational stresses.
Q3: What are the advantages of the slotted drive design in precision applications?
The slotted drive design offers several advantages in precision applications: universal tool compatibility allowing use with any appropriately sized flat-blade screwdriver, simplified manufacturing ensuring consistent quality, easy visual inspection of drive condition, and reliable torque transmission without the cam-out issues sometimes experienced with Phillips drives. This makes DIN 84 screws particularly valuable for field service, maintenance applications, and precision assemblies where tool availability may vary.
Q4: Can DIN 84 screws be used in marine and chemical environments?
Yes, brass DIN 84 screws are excellent for marine and chemical environments, particularly when manufactured from naval brass (C46400). The material’s inherent corrosion resistance makes it suitable for saltwater exposure, high humidity, and chemical processing environments. Unlike plated steel fasteners that can fail when the plating is compromised, brass provides corrosion resistance throughout the material cross-section for long-term reliability in aggressive environments.
Q5: How do I select the appropriate screw length for precision applications?
For precision applications, screw length selection should consider exact material thickness, required thread engagement, and clearance requirements. The cheese head design requires attention to the head height when calculating total space requirements. We recommend selecting a length that provides full thread engagement in the receiving material (typically 1-1.5 times the diameter) while ensuring the head sits properly on the bearing surface. Our technical team can provide specific recommendations based on your application parameters.
