Value Collection 101037PR Set Screw 2-56 X 1/16 in Cup Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 101037PR is a 2-56 x 1/16 inch cup point set screw manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel. Set screws are fully threaded fasteners with no head, driven by a hex key and tightened directly against a shaft or mating surface to secure components in place. The cup point tip bites into the shaft surface, providing strong resistance to rotation and axial movement. This screw meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards, confirming dimensional and mechanical compliance. The 0.035 inch hex key drive size is standard for this screw class. Installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals in mechanical and industrial applications.

This set screw is suited for use in mechanical assemblies where a headless fastener is required to lock collars, pulleys, gears, knobs, or similar components onto shafts. The cup point geometry is appropriate for permanent or semi-permanent installations where shaft marking is acceptable. The UNC thread standard and fractional inch sizing make it compatible with standard inch-series tapped holes in industrial equipment, HVAC components, and general mechanical assemblies. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Cup point tip grips shaft surfaces firmly, resisting rotation and axial movement
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides high tensile and torsional strength
• Hex socket drive accepts a 0.035 inch hex key for installation in confined spaces
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 dimensional and mechanical standards
• UNC thread form for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• Fully threaded, headless design allows flush or below-surface installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement set screw for any application requiring a 2-56 UNC tapped hole with 1/16 inch engagement depth and a cup point fastener per ASME/ANSI B18.3 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or mechanical technicians using a 0.035 inch hex key. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. De-energize and lock out any rotating or powered equipment before servicing fasteners on shafts or assemblies. Do not exceed the rated torque range appropriate for 2-56 Grade 8 set screws as specified in your assembly documentation.
