Value Collection 101244P Cup Point Set Screw 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 101244P is a cup point set screw designed for secure axial and rotational locking of shafts, collars, and similar components. Threaded to 10-24 UNC and measuring 3/16 inches overall length, this fastener is driven with a 3/32-inch hex key and features a cup-shaped point that bites into the mating surface for a firm, reliable hold. Manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel, it delivers high tensile and torsional strength suited to demanding mechanical assemblies. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install this type of fastener across a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications.

This set screw is well suited for use in mechanical assemblies where a headless, flush-profile fastener is required. Common applications include securing pulleys, gears, sprockets, and shaft collars in place on rotating shafts. The cup point provides a good balance of holding power and minimal shaft damage compared to harder-edged point styles. It is appropriate for light to medium-duty industrial machinery, HVAC blower assemblies, and general equipment maintenance tasks requiring a compact, high-strength fastener.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 3/16-inch overall length for flush or recessed installation in tight spaces
• Cup point geometry provides firm surface bite with moderate shaft marking
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and shear strength
• 3/32-inch hex drive compatible with standard hex keys and L-wrenches
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension replacement or stock set screw for any 10-24 UNC tapped hole application requiring a cup point, headless hex-drive fastener with a 3/16-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3/32-inch hex key or Allen wrench. Before installation, ensure the mating shaft or component is clean and free of debris. Apply the specified torque per your assembly drawing or engineering specification, as overtightening Grade 8 set screws can damage soft shafts or strip tapped holes. Always use proper eye protection when working with small fasteners under spring-loaded or rotating-equipment conditions.
