Value Collection 42974 Set Screw M12x1.75x50mm Cup Point 10pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 42974 is an M12 x 1.75 x 50 mm cup point set screw manufactured from alloy steel to Grade 14.9 (45H), the highest-strength classification for metric set screws. Driven with a 6 mm hex key, this fastener is built to DIN 916 standards, meaning dimensional tolerances and mechanical properties meet internationally recognized specifications. Cup point geometry bites into the mating shaft to resist rotation and axial movement under load. This screw is suitable for demanding clamping and locking applications where a standard carbon steel fastener would be undersized for the job.

Cup point set screws at this thread size and grade are commonly used in industrial machinery, power transmission components, shaft collars, pulleys, gears, and similar assemblies. The M12 x 1.75 coarse metric thread and 50 mm overall length make this fastener appropriate for moderate- to heavy-duty shaft retention in both original equipment manufacturing and maintenance-and-repair contexts. Machinists, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers. This SKU ships in a package quantity of 10.

Key Features

• Grade 14.9 (45H) alloy steel construction for high-strength clamping force
• Cup point tip bites into shaft surface to prevent rotation and axial shift
• DIN 916 standard ensures dimensional consistency and interchangeability
• 6 mm internal hex drive for precise torque application with a standard hex key
• M12 x 1.75 coarse metric thread for broad tooling and hardware compatibility
• Sold in a pack of 10 to support multi-fastener assemblies or stock replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 916 metric set screw for use in any M12 x 1.75 threaded bore requiring a cup point, high-strength fastener. Confirm thread pitch and bore depth before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 6 mm hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the threaded bore is clean and free of debris before driving. Apply thread-locking compound if vibration is a concern in the application. Do not exceed the torque capacity appropriate for Grade 14.9 fasteners at this diameter as specified in applicable engineering references or equipment service documentation.
