SEMS Screws – Pre-Assembled Combination Fasteners With Captured Washers Introduction
SEMS Screws – Pre-Assembled Combination Fasteners With Captured Washers
Manufacturers across electronics, automation and new energy industries always struggle with loose separate screws and washers during mass assembly. Sems screw solves this pain point perfectly. It is an integrated one-piece fastener with flat washer, spring lock washer or dual washers firmly rolled under the screw head. The captive washers cannot fall off during transportation or production, greatly simplifying assembly procedures and inventory management. Our factory supplies full metric series M3, M4, M5, M6 standard sems screw with multiple head, drive and material options.
Core Advantages of SEMS Screws
- Higher Production Efficiency: No manual matching of washers; automatic screwing lines raise assembly speed by 40%
- Zero Missing Washer Defects: Captured washers eliminate defective products caused by forgotten washers
- Reliable Anti-Loose Performance: Built-in spring washer maintains elastic preload to resist long-term mechanical vibration
- Surface Protection: Flat washer evenly disperses tightening pressure to avoid scratches on PCB, plastic and thin metal shells
- Simplified Inventory: One SKU replaces independent screw and washer parts, cutting warehouse storage costs

Contact usProfessional Installation & Selection Guide
- Confirm thread standard: Metric M series is mainstream for global industrial assembly, do not mix imperial and metric threads
- Match washer combination: Choose double flat-spring washers for equipment under continuous vibration
- Select material based on environment: Stainless steel for humid/outdoor scenes, zinc-plated carbon steel for indoor cost control
- Control tightening torque properly: Prevent thread sliding or workpiece cracking
- Clean threaded holes: Before assembly to avoid impurities affecting clamping tightness
