Value Collection 601022PR Set Screw 1-72 X 5/16 in Cup Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 601022PR is a cup point set screw designed for precise clamping and positioning applications in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel to ASTM F912 and ASME/ANSI B18.3 standards, this fastener measures 1-72 thread size at 5/16 inches overall length. The hex drive socket accepts a 0.028-inch hex key for installation in confined or recessed locations where a standard wrenching profile is not practical. Licensed trades and mechanical assemblers install this type of fastener in machine components, shaft collars, and adjustment mechanisms requiring a secure, torque-resistant hold.

This set screw is suited for light-duty industrial, mechanical, and electromechanical assemblies where a fine unified thread pitch is required. The 1-72 UNF thread designation indicates a fine pitch appropriate for thin-walled components, small-diameter shafts, or assemblies requiring precise thread engagement. The cup point geometry bites into the mating surface to resist rotation and axial movement under load. It is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• Cup point geometry provides strong surface bite to resist shaft rotation and axial migration
• Alloy steel construction delivers hardness and shear strength suitable for demanding mechanical assemblies
• 1-72 UNF fine thread pitch for precise engagement in small or thin-walled components
• Hex socket drive accepts a 0.028-inch hex key for installation in tight or recessed spaces
• Meets ASTM F912 and ASME/ANSI B18.3 standards for dimensional and mechanical consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use set screw for mechanical assemblies requiring a 1-72 UNF thread, cup point, hex drive fastener conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical assemblers or maintenance technicians using a 0.028-inch hex key. De-energize all equipment and relieve any mechanical load from the assembly before removing or installing set screws. Verify thread engagement depth and seating of the cup point against the mating shaft before applying final torque. Do not substitute hex key sizes, as an improperly sized key may strip the socket drive.
