Value Collection 101215PR Set Screw 8-36 X 1/8 in Cup Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 101215PR is a cup point set screw designed for secure, flush fastening in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel, this screw delivers high tensile and torsional strength suitable for demanding industrial and trade applications. The 8-36 UNF thread provides fine-pitch engagement for precise positioning, and the 5/64-inch hex drive allows installation with a standard hex key. At 1/8-inch overall length, this fastener is sized for compact or space-constrained mounting situations. It conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards, confirming dimensional accuracy and material performance. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly install this type of set screw in shafts, collars, pulleys, and similar rotating or sliding components.

This set screw is suited for use in light mechanical assemblies, precision equipment, and general industrial maintenance where a fine-thread, headless fastener is required. The cup point style bites into the mating shaft surface to resist rotation and axial movement without requiring a through-hole. Applications include motor shaft collars, gear hubs, dial indicators, and other assemblies calling for an 8-36 UNF headless fastener in alloy steel. This part is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per purchase.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high torsional and tensile strength
• Cup point geometry bites into mating surfaces to resist shaft movement
• 8-36 UNF fine-pitch thread for precise, secure engagement
• 5/64-inch hex drive compatible with standard hex keys and Allen wrenches
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 dimensional and material standards
• Compact 1/8-inch overall length for space-constrained assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-36 UNF cup point set screw for use in any mechanical assembly that accepts a headless hex-drive fastener of this thread size and length per ASME/ANSI B18.3 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a correctly sized 5/64-inch hex key to avoid rounding the drive recess. De-energize and lock out all equipment before accessing rotating shafts or assemblies. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound if vibration is a concern in the application. Do not exceed the torque capacity of the hex drive by using oversized tools or extensions.
