Value Collection 601527BR Set Screw 1-8x6in Cup Point Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 601527BR is a cup point set screw engineered for secure, vibration-resistant fastening in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel to ASTM F912 material grade and conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standards, this fastener delivers reliable holding force in high-stress applications. It measures 1-8 thread size by 6 inches in overall length and accepts a 9/16-inch hex key drive. The cup point geometry bites into the mating surface, resisting rotational and axial movement without the need for a nut. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians typically install this fastener during shaft, collar, and coupling applications.

This set screw is suited for use in shaft-to-hub connections, shaft collars, shaft couplings, pulleys, sprockets, and similar mechanical power transmission components. Its UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes. The 6-inch overall length accommodates deep-reach installations or thick hub assemblies where a shorter fastener would not achieve adequate thread engagement. It is commonly found in both industrial and commercial equipment maintenance applications.

Key Features

• Cup point geometry bites into shaft surface for strong rotational and axial hold
• Alloy steel construction rated to ASTM F912 material grade for high strength and durability
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standard for consistent fit
• UNC thread standard for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 9/16-inch hex drive accepts standard hex keys and Allen wrenches
• 6-inch overall length suits deep hub or thick-collar installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 1-8 UNC threaded cup point set screw with a 6-inch overall length and 9/16-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out machinery before servicing shaft assemblies or replacing fasteners. Use a calibrated torque wrench with the correct 9/16-inch hex key or Allen bit and follow equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the application. Verify thread engagement is sufficient before returning equipment to service.
