Value Collection 121016PR Set Screw 6-32 X 1/8 in Cone Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 121016PR is a 6-32 x 1/8 inch cone point set screw manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel. Set screws are headless fasteners that thread fully into a tapped hole to apply clamping or locking force against a shaft, insert, or mating surface. The cone point geometry concentrates holding force at a single contact zone, making it well suited for permanent or semi-permanent installations where the point can seat into a corresponding indent on the shaft. Drive is 1/16 inch hex (Allen key). This fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Cone point set screws in 6-32 UNC thread are commonly used in light-duty mechanical assemblies, motor shaft collars, pulleys, knobs, and small component retention applications. The 1/8 inch overall length suits shallow-boss and thin-wall applications where a longer fastener would bottom out or protrude. Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides elevated tensile and torsional strength compared to standard steel grades, supporting reliable clamp loads in vibration-prone environments such as fan assemblies, blower wheels, and small drive components.

Key Features

• Cone point tip concentrates seating force for positive shaft engagement
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• 6-32 UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with common tapped inserts and collars
• 1/16 inch hex drive accepts standard Allen keys and hex wrenches
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 fastener standards
• Compact 1/8 inch overall length suits shallow-boss and thin-wall assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC cone point set screw for use in any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to 6-32 UNC thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1/16 inch hex key or Allen wrench. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the fastener. Apply appropriate torque per your application engineering spec to avoid stripping the small hex socket. For cone point set screws intended to seat into a shaft, pre-marking or center-punching the shaft improves seating and reduces fastener migration under load.
