Value Collection 63572 Set Screw 10-24 X 5/16 in Ss 316 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 63572 is a cup point set screw designed for secure, vibration-resistant fastening in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, this fastener delivers strong corrosion resistance, making it suitable for washdown, marine, and chemical-exposure environments. The cup point bites into the mating shaft or surface to resist rotation and axial movement without a separate nut or through-hole. Each screw uses a 3/32 inch hex key drive and features a 10-24 UNC thread at 5/16 inch overall length. This package contains 50 pieces, supporting both bench-stock replenishment and job-specific quantities for maintenance and mechanical technicians.

Cup point set screws in the 10-24 thread size are widely used in HVAC blower wheel hubs, pulley-to-shaft connections, knobs, collars, and light mechanical assemblies where flush or below-surface fastening is required. The 5/16 inch length suits thin-hub applications where a longer screw would bottom out before generating adequate clamping force. Grade 316 stainless construction makes these screws appropriate for coastal, food-service, and other corrosive-duty installations where carbon steel or Grade 18-8 fasteners would degrade over time.

Key Features

• Cup point geometry bites into shaft surface to resist rotation and axial movement
• Grade 316 stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance versus Grade 18-8 in chloride and chemical environments
• 10-24 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes in hubs, collars, and couplings
• 3/32 inch hex key drive for precise torque application in tight clearance areas
• 5/16 inch overall length suits thin-hub and shallow-tapped installations
• 50-piece package supports bench-stock restocking and multi-unit service calls

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC cup point set screw suitable for any application requiring a 10-24 tapped hole, 5/16 inch engagement depth, and Grade 316 stainless steel corrosion resistance.

Installation Notes

Set screws are installed by mechanical technicians using a 3/32 inch hex key or Allen driver. De-energize or lock out any rotating equipment before loosening or tightening set screws on shafts or pulleys. Apply thread-locking compound if vibration is a concern in the application. Do not over-torque small-diameter set screws, as the hex socket can strip; consult fastener manufacturer torque tables for the 10-24 size.
