Value Collection 601029PR Set Screw 2-56 Cup Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 601029PR is a cup point set screw designed for precision fastening applications where a threaded fastener must seat flush or below a surface without a head. Manufactured from alloy steel to ASTM F912 and ASME/ANSI B18.3 standards, this screw features a 2-56 UNC thread and a 5/32-inch overall length. The internal hex drive accepts a 0.035-inch hex key. Cup point set screws are used by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians to lock shafts, collars, and fittings in position by biting into the mating surface under torque load.

This set screw is suited for light-duty shaft locking, collar retention, and component positioning in mechanical assemblies where a protruding fastener head is not acceptable. The 2-56 thread size targets small-diameter applications common in precision instruments, small motors, and light mechanical assemblies. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it appropriate for production or shop restocking needs.

Key Features

• 2-56 UNC thread for small-diameter precision fastening
• Cup point geometry bites into mating surface to resist rotation and axial movement
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM F912 material grade requirements
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 fastener standard
• Internal hex drive, 0.035-inch hex key size
• 5/32-inch overall length suits shallow-thread applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 UNC cup point set screw conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3, suitable for use in any application requiring this thread size and point style.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a 0.035-inch hex key. Ensure the mating bore is tapped to 2-56 UNC before installation. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound if vibration resistance is required. Do not exceed the rated torque capacity of the 2-56 thread to avoid stripping.
