Value Collection 601015PR Set Screw 1-64 X 3/16 in Cup Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 601015PR is a cup point set screw designed for secure, recessed fastening in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel to ASTM F912 and ASME/ANSI B18.3 standards, it features a 1-64 UNC thread and an overall length of 3/16 inches. The hex socket drive accepts a 0.028-inch hex key, allowing installation in tight spaces where a standard hex wrench cannot reach. This screw is installed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians in applications requiring a fully recessed fastener with positive rotational locking.

Cup point set screws are used to lock collars, pulleys, gears, and similar components onto shafts in light-duty mechanical systems. The cup point geometry bites into the shaft surface to resist axial and rotational movement under load. At 1-64 threading, this screw is suited for small-scale precision assemblies, instrument hardware, and miniature mechanical components found in both commercial and light industrial equipment.

Key Features

• Cup point geometry provides a positive bite into shaft or mating surface for reliable locking
• Alloy steel construction rated to ASTM F912 for strength and hardness
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standard for consistent fit and interchangeability
• Hex socket drive requires a 0.028-inch hex key for installation in recessed or tight locations
• 1-64 UNC thread with 3/16-inch overall length suits precision and miniature assemblies
• Fully recessed installation eliminates protruding fastener heads, reducing snagging hazards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME/ANSI B18.3 replacement set screw for any application calling for a 1-64 UNC, 3/16-inch cup point hex socket set screw in alloy steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, or qualified maintenance technicians. Power down and de-energize all related equipment before servicing any mechanical assembly. Use a calibrated 0.028-inch hex key to avoid rounding the socket drive. Do not exceed the torque capacity appropriate for the 1-64 thread size, and ensure the mating shaft and component bore are clean and free of debris before seating the screw.
