Value Collection 832008PR M3 Set Screw Flat Point Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 832008PR is an M3 x 0.50 x 10 mm flat point set screw manufactured from alloy steel to Grade 14.9 (45H). It is driven by a 1.5 mm hex key and carries a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance. Set screws of this type are fully threaded, headless fasteners used to secure a component — such as a collar, gear, or pulley — against a shaft by applying direct axial force through the flat point contact. This part conforms to DIN 913 and ISO 4026 dimensional standards, ensuring consistent fitment in metric-spec assemblies. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This set screw is suited for light-duty shaft retention and positioning applications in mechanical assemblies where a flush or recessed fastener is required. The flat point style distributes load across a small contact area and is appropriate for use against hardened or soft shaft surfaces where minimal shaft marring is acceptable. Typical applications include OEM equipment assembly, machine tool maintenance, and industrial repair work requiring metric fasteners that meet DIN and ISO dimensional standards.

Key Features

• Grade 14.9 (45H) alloy steel construction provides high tensile and torsional strength for demanding clamping applications
• Flat point geometry suitable for shaft retention with low risk of shaft damage compared to cup or cone point styles
• 1.5 mm hex key drive allows installation in confined spaces with standard hex key tooling
• Black oxide finish reduces surface corrosion and minimizes light reflection in finished assemblies
• Conforms to DIN 913 and ISO 4026 standards for consistent dimensional interchangeability
• Metric thread specification M3 x 0.50 for use in metric-dimensioned tapped holes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style metric set screw for use in any M3 x 0.50 tapped through-hole or blind hole requiring a flat point, headless fastener per DIN 913 or ISO 4026.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1.5 mm hex key or hex bit driver; confirm torque requirements against the assembly specification for the receiving component. Power down and de-energize any machinery before accessing shaft collars, gears, or pulleys secured by set screws. Inspect the tapped hole for thread cleanliness and proper depth before driving to avoid cross-threading the M3 thread. Follow applicable machinery safety and lockout-tagout procedures per OSHA and equipment manufacturer guidelines.
