Value Collection 601368PR Set Screw 9/16-12 X 1/2 in Cup Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 601368PR is a cup point set screw designed for secure, tool-free-to-remove shaft and collar locking in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel to ASTM F912 and ASME/ANSI B18.3 standards, this fastener delivers consistent performance under load. The 9/16-12 UNC thread with an overall length of 0.5 inches makes it well-suited for tight installations where a standard hex socket drive is required. The 1/4-inch hex key drive allows precise torque application without fastener damage. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians use this screw in set-screw-style collars, gears, pulleys, and sprockets.

This set screw is applicable to general industrial and mechanical service applications requiring a UNC-threaded, alloy steel fastener with a cup point. Cup point geometry bites into the shaft surface to resist rotation and axial movement, making it a common choice in rotating equipment, conveyor systems, and motor shaft collars. It is packaged individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces, suitable for stock or job-site use by trade and industrial professionals.

Key Features

• Cup point geometry provides positive bite into shaft material to resist rotation and axial movement
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM F912 and ASME/ANSI B18.3 standards
• 9/16-12 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard fractional-inch tapped holes
• 1/4-inch hex key (Allen) drive for controlled torque application
• 0.5-inch overall length suits shallow collar and hub applications
• Fractional inch measurement type for use in standard imperial assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 9/16-12 UNC cup point set screw conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a 1/4-inch hex key. De-energize and lock out all rotating equipment before installing or adjusting set screws per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the fastener. Do not exceed the rated drive torque for the fastener size, and inspect the cup point engagement after final tightening.
