Value Collection 832012PR M3 Set Screw Flat Point Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 832012PR is an M3 x 0.50 x 16 mm flat point set screw designed for secure, flush-locking fastening applications in mechanical assemblies. Built from alloy steel to Grade 14.9 (45H), this set screw delivers high clamping force in a compact metric form factor. The black oxide finish provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces surface reflectivity. Drive engagement is through a 1.50 mm hex key socket. It conforms to DIN 913 and ISO 4026 fastener standards, making it a reliable choice for precision machinery, shaft collars, and positioning fixtures where a flat contact point is required to avoid marring the mating surface.

This set screw is suited for use in manufacturing, maintenance, and mechanical service environments. Its flat point design distributes load evenly against the mating surface, making it appropriate for softer shafts or applications where minimal surface damage is critical. Typical installations include shaft-to-hub locking, adjustable stops, and set positions on rotating or sliding components. The metric M3 x 0.50 thread pitch is standard in precision instrument and light machinery assemblies. This fastener is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• M3 x 0.50 thread with 16 mm overall length in metric dimensioning
• Flat point geometry reduces surface damage on mating shaft or component
• Grade 14.9 (45H) alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• Black oxide finish for moderate corrosion resistance and low reflectivity
• 1.50 mm hex key drive for precise torque application in tight spaces
• Conforms to DIN 913 and ISO 4026 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric replacement or maintenance set screw conforming to DIN 913 and ISO 4026 specifications, suitable for any application calling for an M3 x 0.50 x 16 mm flat point set screw in alloy steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or maintenance technician using a properly sized 1.50 mm hex key to avoid rounding the drive socket. Ensure the mating component is clean and free of debris before threading the screw into position. Do not exceed the torque rating appropriate for Grade 14.9 M3 fasteners as specified by your engineering reference or equipment OEM documentation. Black oxide finish is not a substitute for corrosion-resistant coatings in wet or chemically aggressive environments.
