Value Collection 604260PR Set Screw 5/16-18 X 1/4 in Cone Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 604260PR is a cone point set screw designed for mechanical assemblies where a locating or locking point is needed against a shaft or mating surface. It is machined from Grade 8 alloy steel, providing high tensile and torsional strength suitable for demanding industrial and mechanical applications. The screw uses a 5/32-inch hex drive, driven by a standard hex key, and conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 dimensional and material standards. Machinists, maintenance mechanics, and millwrights install this fastener in equipment ranging from shaft collars and pulleys to sprockets and gear hubs.

This set screw is suited for use in shaft-to-hub connections in manufacturing, HVAC drive components, pump assemblies, and general industrial machinery. The cone point geometry concentrates clamping force into a small area, creating a strong bite into the shaft surface for secure positioning. It is commonly used where permanent or semi-permanent location of a hub on a shaft is required. The 5/16-18 UNC thread is a widely specified size across light and medium industrial equipment.

Key Features

• Cone point geometry for strong shaft engagement and secure hub positioning
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• 5/32-inch hex drive compatible with standard hex keys
• UNC 5/16-18 thread for broad compatibility across industrial fastener applications
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 dimensional and material standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock set screw for mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/16-18 UNC cone point fastener per ASME/ANSI B18.3 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance mechanics or machinists using a 5/32-inch hex key. Ensure the mating shaft and hub threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound if the application requires vibration resistance. Do not overtighten beyond the rated torque for Grade 8 alloy steel fasteners of this thread size, and follow applicable ASME or equipment manufacturer guidelines for set screw installation procedures.
