Value Collection 42953 M10 Set Screw Cup Point Alloy Steel Din 916

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 42953 is an M10 x 1.50 x 12 mm cup point set screw manufactured from alloy steel to Grade 14.9 (45H). Set screws of this type are headless fasteners used to secure a component — such as a collar, gear, or pulley — against a shaft by applying direct clamping force through the cup point tip. The hex socket drive accepts a 5 mm hex key for installation and removal. Grade 14.9 (45H) alloy steel provides high tensile strength suitable for demanding mechanical assemblies. This fastener conforms to DIN 916, a widely recognized metric standard for socket set screws with cup point geometry.

This set screw is suited for use in mechanical, industrial, and light fabrication applications where a metric fastener is required to lock rotating or sliding components onto a shaft. The cup point geometry bites into the shaft surface to resist rotation and axial movement without requiring a through-hole or nut. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly install this type of fastener during equipment assembly, repair, and component adjustment. Each package contains 25 pieces.

Key Features

• M10 x 1.50 metric thread with 12 mm overall length
• Cup point tip provides positive bite into shaft material for secure locking
• Hex socket drive requires a 5 mm hex key — no external head to snag or obstruct clearance
• Grade 14.9 (45H) alloy steel for high tensile and torsional strength
• Conforms to DIN 916 fastener standard for consistent dimensional compliance
• Sold in a 25-piece package to support production and maintenance quantities

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 916 metric socket set screw suitable for any mechanical assembly requiring an M10 x 1.50 cup point fastener conforming to that specification.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5 mm hex key or hex bit driver; ensure the key is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the socket. De-energize and lock out any equipment before adjusting or replacing set screws on rotating shafts. Verify that the mating shaft is clean and free of burrs before seating the cup point to achieve full clamping engagement. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer procedures and applicable mechanical codes for fastener selection and torque requirements.
