cab Applicator A3200 print-and-apply labeling system (packaging line hardware) screw size

M2 / M3 / M4 / M5 / M6 · 4 to 45 mm long

If you are replacing a screw on cab Applicator A3200 print-and-apply labeling system (packaging line hardware), the thread is M2, M3, M4, M5 and M6 in lengths from 4 to 45 mm.

There are 5 separate fitment records for it, including service manual lists M2 x 20mm screws used for small sensor/bracket fixation on the labeli (M2), service manual specifies M3 fasteners in multiple lengths (M3x4, M3x5, M3x7.5, M3x10, M3x2 (M3) and service manual specifies M4 fasteners in multiple lengths (M4x6, M4x8, M4x10, M4x14, M4x16 (M4), plus 2 more in the table below.

5 of the 5 records are marked confirmed, drawn from 1 source (cab.de).

An M2 screw is 2 mm in diameter with a 0.4 mm pitch, tapped with a 1.6 mm drill; imperial look-alike: #2-56 UNC (2.18 mm) is close but not interchangeable.

How to check the screw before you buy

  1. Board standoffs and enclosure bosses set the usable length: the screw should clamp the board without bottoming in the standoff.
  2. Diameter: across the threads an M2 screw measures about 2 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). This device also uses M3 / M4 / M5 / M6, so measure each screw rather than assuming they match.
  3. Pitch: 0.4 mm from one thread crest to the next (25 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
  4. Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
  5. The records span 4–45 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
  6. Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M2 heads take PH0 for Phillips and T6 for Torx, and a 1.5 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
  7. Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M2 is about 25-40 N·cm into metal threads and 12-20 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.

Common mix-ups with M2 / M3 / M4 / M5 / M6

  • Packaging/labeling equipment manuals (e.g., cab print-and-apply applicators) mix M2 through M6 fasteners across a single machine for very different assemblies (sensors vs. frame vs. drive) — do not generalize one thread size to 'the machine' as a whole; cite the specific subassembly.
  • Thor Zone Nanoq S case mixes metric M3 (various lengths: 4, 5, 6, 10, 13, 20mm) and imperial #6-32 UNC fasteners across the same build, so builders must sort hardware carefully rather than assuming an all-metric kit.
  • US-made pinball machines (Williams/Bally/Stern) overwhelmingly use imperial UTS threads (#6-32, #8-32, #10-32); explicit metric threads only appear on newer/import components such as Jersey Jack Pinball's Hobbit Smaug assembly (M3).
  • Espresso/coffee-equipment M5 and M6 socket-head screws (DIN 7984/UNI 9327) are cross-brand standard fasteners shared across CMA, Astoria, and La Cimbali brewing-group hardware, so a single screw often services multiple manufacturers' machines.

Questions about cab Applicator A3200 print-and-apply labeling system (packaging line hardware) screws

What size screw does cab Applicator A3200 print-and-apply labeling system (packaging line hardware) use?
M2 × 20 mm for service manual lists M2 x 20mm screws used for small sensor/bracket fixation on the labeling applicator; M3 × 4–25 mm for service manual specifies M3 fasteners in multiple lengths (M3x4, M3x5, M3x7.5, M3x10, M3x20, M3x25) for internal assembly, sensor brackets and covers; M4 × 6–45 mm for service manual specifies M4 fasteners in multiple lengths (M4x6, M4x8, M4x10, M4x14, M4x16, M4x45) for pad/vacuum-belt applicator assembly and drive components; M5 × 12 mm for service manual specifies M5 x 12mm screws for mounting the pneumatic cylinder/applicator arm bracket; M6 × 16 mm for service manual specifies M6 x 16mm screws for the main frame/column mounting hardware.
How long are the screws in cab Applicator A3200 print-and-apply labeling system (packaging line hardware)?
The records range from 4 to 45 mm depending on the position, so match each screw to its own hole.
What is the thread pitch of an M2 screw?
0.4 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M2 machine screws; a 0.25 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 1.6 mm and the normal clearance hole is 2.4 mm.
What screwdriver do I need for cab Applicator A3200 print-and-apply labeling system (packaging line hardware)?
The sources do not name the drive. For M2, Phillips heads normally take PH0 and Torx heads T6; socket heads take a 1.5 mm hex key.
Can I use an imperial screw instead of M2?
No. Imperial look-alike: #2-56 UNC (2.18 mm) is close but not interchangeable. Use a true M2 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
Where can I buy replacement screws for cab Applicator A3200 print-and-apply labeling system (packaging line hardware)?
TechSpareWarehouse (our own store) lists M3 x 4mm, M3 x 5mm and M3 x 6mm, which match lengths in the records above.
