Slotted capstan screws

This standard DIN 404 specifies dimensions and technical delivery conditions for M2 to M10 slotted capstan screws. These screws may be used both as fastening and adlusting screws. They are primarily designed for use in electrical engineering and may be tightened by means of a sliding tee bar where it is not possible to use a screwdriver. Locking wires are often attached to the cross holes for securing purposes.
