Value Collection 602036PR Set Screw 2-56 X 1/2 in Cup Point Ss A2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 602036PR is a 2-56 x 1/2 inch cup point set screw manufactured from Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel. Set screws of this type are headless fasteners that apply clamping force through a cup point that bites into a mating shaft or surface, resisting rotation and axial movement without protruding above the workpiece. Driven with a 0.035 inch hex key, this screw meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 standards. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals use this fastener in precision applications where flush or recessed installation is required and corrosion resistance is a priority.

This set screw is suited for light-duty shaft locking, collar positioning, and component retention in mechanical assemblies. The UNC thread series and 2-56 sizing make it appropriate for small-bore applications in industrial equipment, instrumentation, and precision mechanical assemblies. The Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel construction provides good resistance to corrosion in mildly aggressive environments, making it a practical choice in both indoor and light outdoor service conditions. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• Cup point geometry bites into shaft surface for reliable torque and axial retention
• Austenitic Grade A2 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance without plating
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F880 fastener standards for dimensional accuracy
• Headless design allows flush or recessed installation in tight clearance applications
• Driven with a 0.035 inch hex key for precise torque application in confined spaces
• UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard tapped holes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 UNC cup point set screw for use in any application requiring a headless fastener with matching 2-56 tapped hole and 0.035 inch hex drive access.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or mechanical technician using a 0.035 inch hex key or T-handle driver. Ensure the mating shaft or component is clean and free of burrs before seating the cup point. Depower or de-energize any rotating machinery before installation or removal. Avoid overtightening, as the small thread cross-section on a 2-56 fastener is susceptible to thread stripping.
