Value Collection 605092PR Set Screw 5-40 3/16 in Oval Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 605092PR is a 5-40 UNC alloy steel set screw with an oval point, designed for locking and positioning applications where a secure, low-profile fastener is required. Measuring 3/16 inches in overall length, it is driven with a 1/16-inch hex key and meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards. Grade 8 alloy steel construction delivers the tensile strength needed in demanding mechanical assemblies. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial assembly professionals install these screws in shafts, collars, hubs, and similar components.

This set screw is suited for light-duty shaft locking, collar positioning, and component retention in mechanical and industrial assemblies. The oval point contacts the shaft without the sharp bite of a cone point, making it appropriate for applications where minimal surface marking is preferred. Typical use cases include small motors, precision instruments, and machine tooling where a #5-40 thread size is specified.

Key Features

• 5-40 UNC thread provides a fine, secure engagement in tapped holes
• Oval point minimizes surface damage on mating shaft or seat
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength
• 1/16-inch hex drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen wrenches
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 dimensional and performance standards
• 3/16-inch overall length suits compact, tight-clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit set screw for mechanical assemblies specifying a 5-40 UNC thread, 3/16-inch length, and oval point configuration per ASME/ANSI B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a 1/16-inch hex key or T-handle driver. Ensure the tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading in the screw. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound if vibration resistance is required, following the compound manufacturer's guidance. Do not exceed the recommended seating torque for the thread size and grade to avoid stripping the socket or damaging the mating component.
