Value Collection -40502-1 Set Screw 6-32 3/8 in Grade 8 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -40502-1 is a 6-32 x 3/8-inch headless set screw with a knurled cup point, manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel. It is driven by a 1/16-inch hex key and conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards. The knurled cup point bites into the mating surface to resist rotation and axial movement, making it a reliable fastener for locking collars, pulleys, gears, and shafts. This package contains 50 pieces. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly use this screw in light mechanical assemblies where a low-profile, flush-mount fastener is required.

This set screw is suited for applications in residential and commercial mechanical systems, manufacturing equipment, HVAC components, and general industrial assemblies. The 6-32 UNC thread size is common in small-diameter shaft-collar and hub applications. The overall length of 3/8 inches allows engagement depth appropriate for thin-wall collars and light-duty clamping points. The Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides higher tensile strength than standard steel fasteners, supporting use in moderate-load mechanical connections.

Key Features

• Knurled cup point grips mating surfaces to resist both rotation and axial movement
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for elevated tensile strength
• 6-32 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with small-diameter collars and hubs
• 1/16-inch hex key drive for installation in confined or low-clearance locations
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 dimensional and material standards
• Sold in a 50-piece package to support production and maintenance stock

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC headless set screw for use in any application requiring ASME/ANSI B18.3 or ASTM F912 compliant fasteners with a knurled cup point.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a 1/16-inch hex key. De-energize and lock out any equipment before installing or adjusting set screws on rotating assemblies. Do not exceed the rated engagement torque for the 6-32 thread size; overtightening can strip threads or fracture the point. Refer to applicable industry torque tables for Grade 8 alloy steel at this thread size.
