Value Collection 101161PR Set Screw 6-32 X 3/4 in Cup Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 101161PR is a Grade 8 alloy steel set screw with a cup point and hex drive, sized at 6-32 x 3/4 inches overall length. Set screws of this type are fully threaded, headless fasteners used to secure a component — such as a gear, pulley, or collar — onto a shaft by bearing directly into the shaft surface. The cup point geometry creates a strong bite with minimal surface damage under moderate loads. A 1/16-inch hex key is required for installation. These screws conform to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards, making them suitable for precision mechanical assemblies where controlled clamping force is required.

These set screws are used across a broad range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment assembly, pump and motor shaft retention, electrical enclosure hardware, and general mechanical maintenance. They are appropriate for residential and commercial equipment service where a compact, headless fastener is needed in tight clearance situations. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, and light industrial trades commonly stock these in bulk for field and shop use. The 6-32 UNC thread is a standard coarse-pitch size compatible with a wide range of tapped components.

Key Features

• Cup point tip for secure shaft engagement with minimal surface marring
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• 6-32 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with tapped holes
• 3/4-inch overall length provides ample thread engagement depth
• 1/16-inch hex drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen wrenches
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC set screw suitable for tapped holes in shaft collars, pulleys, gears, and mechanical assemblies requiring a headless cup-point fastener in this thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or technician using a properly sized 1/16-inch hex key to avoid rounding the drive socket. De-energize and lock out any rotating equipment before installing or removing set screws on shafts. Do not overtighten — apply firm, steady torque only to the point of secure seating. Inspect the cup point and thread condition before reuse, as repeated installation can degrade holding performance.
