Value Collection 533240BR M16 Set Screw Cup Point Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 533240BR is an M16 x 2.00 x 16 mm cup point set screw manufactured from alloy steel to Grade 14.9 (45H). Set screws are headless fasteners that thread fully into a tapped hole and bear directly against a mating surface to secure components such as collars, hubs, pulleys, and gears onto shafts. This screw uses a hex socket drive requiring an 8 mm hex key and conforms to DIN 916, the international standard for cup point socket set screws. The cup point tip bites into the mating surface to resist rotation and axial movement under load. Installers in maintenance, manufacturing, and mechanical assembly applications rely on this fastener class for precision shaft-locking work.

This set screw is suited for metric mechanical assemblies where a flush or sub-flush fastening profile is required. Common applications include securing rotating machine components to shafts, fixing collars and sprockets in conveyor and drive systems, and general industrial assembly where a standard DIN 916 cup point metric fastener is specified. The M16 x 2.00 thread size and 16 mm overall length make it appropriate for medium-duty shaft diameters typical in industrial equipment. This item is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.

Key Features

• Cup point tip bites into shaft surface for positive grip against rotation and axial shift
• Alloy steel construction at Grade 14.9 (45H) provides high tensile and torsional strength
• Hex socket drive accepts a standard 8 mm hex key for installation in tight clearance areas
• DIN 916 standard ensures dimensional consistency and interchangeability with compliant components
• Metric M16 x 2.00 thread for use in metric-dimensioned tapped holes
• Headless design seats flush or below the surface to eliminate snagging hazards on rotating assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for any metric mechanical assembly specifying a DIN 916 cup point socket set screw in M16 x 2.00 x 16 mm with an alloy steel Grade 14.9 (45H) rating.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, or mechanical technicians using an 8 mm hex key or hex driver. Verify the receiving tapped hole is clean, free of debris, and meets M16 x 2.00 thread specification before installation. Do not exceed the rated grade torque range for this fastener class to avoid stripping the hex socket or damaging the mating shaft surface. De-energize and lock out all power to rotating equipment before installing or removing set screws per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures.
