THE TRUNCATED CYLINDER WITH COUNTERBORED HOLES IS OUR SECOND MOST POPULAR CYLINDRICAL COMPONENT. IT IS USED WHEN THE COMPONENTS MUST BE HELD IN PLACE FROM THE FRONT SIDE.

THESE HARDENED AND DIMENSIONALLY STABILIZED STAINLESS STEEL CYLINDERS ARE PRECISION GROUND AND MACHINE LAPPED TO PROVIDE EXCELLENT CYLINDRICITY WITH CLOSE DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCE.

THE HIGHLY UNIFORM LOW MICROINCH SURFACE TEXTURE GENERATED BY THE MACHINE LAPPING LEADS TO LOW HYSTERESIS AND EXCELLENT REPEATABILITY.

THE LAND LEFT AROUND THE EDGE OF THE FLAT DUE TO THE RECESS FORMS AN EXTREMELY STABLE MOUNTING SURFACE.

TWO PARALLEL MOUNTED CYLINDERS FORM A VERY HIGH QUALITY SUBSTITUTE FOR THE HARD-TO-MANUFACTURE VEE GROOVE.

THIS DESIGN HAS A 0.005" DEEP RECESS ON ITS FLAT SURFACE THAT IS MADE VERY ROUGH BY ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINING ( EDM ). WHEN MAXIMUM RELIABILITY IS REQUIRED, GLUE MAY BE APPLIED TO THIS ROUGH SURFACE TO FORM A PERMANENT BOND BETWEEN THIS COMPONENT, THE MACHINE SCREW, AND THE MOUNTING SURFACE. THIS COMPONENT IS MACHINED FOR USE WITH A STANDARD SOCKET HEAD CAP SCREW.
