Value Collection 101261PR Set Screw 10-24 5/8in Cup Point Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 101261PR is a cup point set screw designed for secure, non-permanent fastening in shaft, collar, and mechanical assembly applications. Manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel, this fastener delivers high tensile strength and reliable holding force under load. The 10-24 UNC thread and 5/8-inch overall length make it a common choice for light-duty to medium-duty clamping tasks. A 3/32-inch hex drive accepts a standard hex key for installation and removal. This screw meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards, making it appropriate for production, MRO, and field service work across industrial and mechanical trades.

Cup point set screws like the 101261PR are used wherever a fastener must bite into a shaft surface to resist rotation or axial movement without a protruding head. Typical applications include motor shafts, pulleys, gears, couplings, and adjustment collars. This size is frequently found in HVAC equipment assemblies, fan and blower components, and general mechanical systems where a flush-mount, headless fastener is required. Sold in multiples of 100 per order.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength and durability
• Cup point geometry bites into shaft surfaces to resist rotation and axial movement
• 10-24 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 3/32-inch hex drive accepts standard hex keys for easy installation and removal
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 fastener standards
• Headless design sits flush or below surface for clearance-sensitive assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 10-24 UNC cup point set screw with a 3/32-inch hex drive and 5/8-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a mechanic, millwright, or qualified technician using a 3/32-inch hex key or Allen driver. De-energize and lock out any rotating equipment before servicing shaft-mounted components. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can strip the small hex socket or damage the mating shaft surface. Always verify thread engagement and inspect the cup point for wear when reusing fasteners removed from service.
