Value Collection 601114PR Set Screw 5-44 X 3/8 in Cup Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 601114PR is a cup point set screw designed for precise clamping and positioning applications in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel, this fastener provides reliable holding force against shafts, collars, and similar components. It features a 5-44 UNF thread with an overall length of 3/8 inches and is driven by a 1/16-inch hex key. The cup point geometry bites into the mating surface to resist rotation and axial movement under load. This screw conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards, making it appropriate for precision mechanical and industrial installations.

This set screw is suited for use in compact mechanical assemblies where low-profile, headless fasteners are required. The fine 5-44 UNF thread pitch allows precise adjustment and secure locking in tight-tolerance applications such as instrument mechanisms, miniature motors, optical mounts, and small shaft collars. It is commonly installed by machine builders, maintenance technicians, and precision assembly professionals working on equipment requiring small-diameter fasteners.

Key Features

• Cup point geometry provides positive bite and reliable holding force against shafts and collars
• 5-44 UNF fine thread for precise adjustment and secure engagement in tight-tolerance bores
• Alloy steel construction delivers strength appropriate for demanding mechanical applications
• 1/16-inch hex drive accepts standard hex keys for installation in confined spaces
• Headless design sits flush or below the surface for clearance in close-fit assemblies
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a headless 5-44 UNF cup point set screw with a 1/16-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 1/16-inch hex key; ensure the key is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the drive socket. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing assemblies containing this fastener. The mating threaded hole should be clean and free of debris to ensure full thread engagement across the 3/8-inch length. Follow applicable industry fastener standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines when determining appropriate seating force.
