Value Collection 101165PR Set Screw 6-32 X 1 in Cup Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 101165PR is a 6-32 x 1 inch cup point set screw manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel. Set screws are fully threaded fasteners with no head, designed to secure a component — such as a collar, pulley, or gear — against or within another part by applying force through their point. The cup point style creates a small indentation in the mating surface, providing positive locking and resistance to rotation or axial movement. This screw is driven with a 1/16 inch hex key and conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards, making it suitable for precision mechanical assemblies across industrial and trade applications.

This set screw is used in mechanical and industrial assemblies where a shaft, rod, or component must be held securely within a hub or housing without a protruding fastener head. Typical applications include motor shafts, pulley hubs, collars, and similar rotating or stationary mechanical components. Grade 8 alloy steel construction makes it appropriate for moderate-to-high stress applications. Electricians, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors commonly use this type of fastener during equipment installation and maintenance. The UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard tapped holes in North American manufacturing.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread size with 1 inch overall length for use in standard tapped assemblies
• Cup point geometry locks into mating surfaces to resist axial and rotational movement
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength for demanding applications
• 1/16 inch hex drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen wrenches
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 dimensional and material standards
• Headless design allows flush or recessed installation with no protruding hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC set screw suitable for any tapped hole conforming to 6-32 thread specifications where a cup point, Grade 8 alloy steel fastener is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 1/16 inch hex key; ensure the key is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the drive socket. Always verify the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the screw. Inspect the cup point for damage before installation, as a deformed point reduces holding performance. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant mechanical codes when securing rotating components.
