Value Collection 151058PR Set Screw 6-32 X 3/16 in Flat Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 151058PR is a 6-32 x 3/16 inch flat point set screw manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel. Set screws of this type are headless fasteners driven by a 1/16 inch hex key, designed to secure a component — such as a collar, gear, or pulley — onto a shaft by applying direct clamping force through the flat point tip. The flat point distributes load across a wider contact area, making it well suited for applications where shaft marring must be minimized. This part meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards, confirming dimensional accuracy and mechanical property requirements for industrial-grade fastener use.

This set screw is used in mechanical assemblies across industrial, commercial, and light manufacturing environments. Typical applications include securing rotating components to shafts, locking adjustment mechanisms in position, and holding collars or hubs in fixed locations. The UNC thread form and fractional inch sizing make it compatible with standard inch-series tapped holes commonly found in machinery, HVAC equipment components, motors, and general mechanical assemblies.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength and durability under load
• Flat point tip reduces shaft damage compared to cup or cone point styles
• 1/16 inch hex drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen wrenches
• 6-32 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 fastener standards
• Overall length of 3/16 inches suits shallow engagement applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNC set screw for use in any application requiring a 6-32 threaded headless fastener with a flat point tip.

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. Confirm the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the screw in. Do not over-tighten — Grade 8 alloy steel set screws can damage soft shaft materials if excessive force is applied. Follow applicable machinery or equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener seating procedures.
