Value Collection 42960 Set Screw M10 X 1.50 X 40mm Cup Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 42960 is a metric hex-drive cup-point set screw sized M10 x 1.50 x 40 mm, manufactured from alloy steel to Grade 14.9 (45H). Set screws of this type transmit torque or lock a component — such as a shaft collar, pulley, sprocket, or gear — to a shaft by biting directly into the shaft surface via the cup point. The Grade 14.9 rating indicates a very high-strength fastener appropriate for demanding mechanical assemblies. These screws are driven with a 5 mm hex key and conform to DIN 916, the international standard governing cup-point socket set screws. Sold in a pack of 10.

Cup-point set screws in M10 x 1.50 sizing are widely specified in industrial machinery, HVAC equipment drive assemblies, pump impeller shafts, fan hubs, and general mechanical fabrication. The cup point leaves a small, well-defined impression in the shaft and provides strong axial and rotational resistance without the need for a bolt head, keeping the fastener flush or below the mating surface. This makes them suitable where clearance is limited and a low-profile fastened connection is required. Installers working to mechanical drawings specifying DIN 916 or equivalent standards will find this fastener a direct fit.

Key Features

• M10 x 1.50 metric thread with 40 mm overall length
• Cup point geometry bites into shaft for strong axial and rotational retention
• Alloy steel construction, Grade 14.9 (45H) for high-strength applications
• Hex socket drive requires a 5 mm hex key
• Conforms to DIN 916 fastener standard
• Pack of 10 screws per order quantity

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 916 cup-point set screw for M10 x 1.50 metric-threaded applications in shaft-locking and component-retention assemblies where a Grade 14.9 alloy steel fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5 mm hex key; ensure the key is fully seated to avoid rounding the socket. De-energize and lock out all equipment before accessing rotating assemblies. Torque to the value specified by the equipment manufacturer or engineering drawing — do not assume a standard torque without referencing the design specification. Inspect the mating shaft surface for damage or contamination before tightening.
