Discover more about the Capstan Screws range.

DIN 404 Capstan Screws are part of Accu's Precision Screws range and they are designed with a broad cylindrical head, which features multiple radial holes for the insertion of a lever, cable or wire, which is then turned or wound around the screw for tension adjustment. A Capstan Screw is unique in that it can be turned from either the slotted drive, using a Slotted Screwdriver Bit, or from the holes in its side.

These components are widely used in metrology equipment and in musical instruments such as pianos, as they are capable of being adjusted in very fine increments.
