Value Collection 40501 Set Screw 6-32 X 3/16 in Grade 8 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40501 is a 6-32 x 3/16 inch knurled cup point set screw manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel. Set screws are headless fasteners that thread fully into a tapped hole and bear directly against a mating surface to lock components in position — common applications include securing collars, pulleys, and gears to shafts. This screw is driven with a 1/16 inch hex key and conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards. Grade 8 alloy steel provides high tensile strength suited to demanding mechanical assemblies. Sold in a package quantity of 50, this SKU is appropriate for production, maintenance, and repair settings where small-diameter set screws are consumed in volume.

This set screw is used in general industrial, mechanical, and light fabrication environments. Typical installations include motor shaft collars, timing pulleys, sprockets, and similar rotating or sliding components where a positive mechanical lock is required without a protruding head. The 6-32 UNC thread and 3/16 inch overall length make it well-suited for compact assemblies where clearance is limited. Installation requires only a standard 1/16 inch hex key. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and field service professionals working on mechanical power transmission components are the primary installers.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread with 3/16 inch overall length for compact, tight-clearance assemblies
• Knurled cup point provides a firm bite into mating shaft surfaces to resist rotation and axial movement
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction delivers high tensile and torsional strength
• 1/16 inch hex drive for use with standard hex keys or allen wrenches
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 fastener standards
• Package quantity of 50 suits production runs and high-volume repair work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC set screw for use in any tapped 6-32 hole requiring a knurled cup point headless fastener per ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional specifications.

Installation Notes

De-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing components that incorporate set screws. Use a correctly sized 1/16 inch hex key to avoid rounding the drive socket. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the screw. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound if vibration is a concern in the application.
