Value Collection 605154PR Set Screw 8-32 X 5/16 in Oval Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 605154PR is a cup-less oval point set screw designed for secure, low-profile fastening applications where the point must seat against a shaft or cavity without marring the mating surface. Manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel, this screw carries an 8-32 UNC thread and measures 5/16 inches in overall length. It is driven by a 5/64 inch hex key and conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians specify oval point set screws for positioning collars, pulleys, and hubs on rotating shafts where repeated adjustment is required.

This fastener is suited to light mechanical assemblies, motion control components, and precision machinery where an oval point is preferred over cup or cone points to reduce stress concentration on the mating shaft. It is appropriate for both production and maintenance environments in industrial, HVAC, and mechanical trade settings. The minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order, supplied as individual units per package.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• Oval point tip reduces shaft damage during repeated adjustments
• 8-32 UNC thread for consistent engagement in standard tapped holes
• 5/64 inch hex drive compatible with standard hex keys and L-wrenches
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 dimensional and performance standards
• Overall length of 5/16 inches suits shallow threaded bosses and thin-wall applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC set screw for use in any 8-32 tapped hole requiring an oval point fastener per ASME/ANSI B18.3 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a 5/64 inch hex key or L-wrench. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not exceed the recommended seating torque for the thread size and material grade as specified in applicable fastener standards. Never substitute a worn or incorrect-size hex key, as this risks rounding the drive socket.
