Sienci LongMill inductive sensor kit screw size
M3 · length not stated in the sources
Sienci LongMill inductive sensor kit takes M3 metric screws. None of the sources we found gives an exact length, so measure the original before you order.
Where it is used: installation guide documents M3 mounting screws for sensor brackets.
This entry is marked reported and comes from resources.sienci.com.
For reference, M3 is 3 mm across the threads at 0.5 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #5-40 (3.18 mm) or #4-40 — neither interchanges with M3.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Into printed plastic, the screw either self-taps or needs a heat-set insert; machine screws straight into plastic strip easily.
- Diameter: across the threads an M3 screw measures about 3 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.5 mm from one thread crest to the next (20 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M3 heads take PH1 for Phillips and T10 for Torx, and a 2.5 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M3 is about 80-130 N·cm into metal threads and 35-60 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M3
- Many gas-detector and sensor manuals only give a torque spec (e.g. '0.5 N·m max') without repeating the thread size at every mention — the explicit M3 callout is usually only in the accessories/spare-parts table, not the main installation steps.
- Grub screws (set screws) on sensor retainers are frequently M3 even when the surrounding housing uses M4/M5 fasteners — don't assume one thread size for a whole enclosure.

Questions about Sienci LongMill inductive sensor kit screws
- What size screw does Sienci LongMill inductive sensor kit use?
- M3 for installation guide documents M3 mounting screws for sensor brackets.
- How long are the screws in Sienci LongMill inductive sensor kit?
- None of the sources states a length. Remove one screw and measure it from under the head to the tip (overall for a countersunk head).
- What is the thread pitch of an M3 screw?
- 0.5 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M3 machine screws; a 0.35 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 2.5 mm and the normal clearance hole is 3.4 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for Sienci LongMill inductive sensor kit?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M3, Phillips heads normally take PH1 and Torx heads T10; socket heads take a 2.5 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M3?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #5-40 (3.18 mm) or #4-40 — neither interchanges with M3. Use a true M3 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
