Value Collection 832048PR M5 X 0.80 X 8 Mm Flat Point Set Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 832048PR is a metric set screw designed for mechanical assemblies where a headless, flush-seating fastener is required. It features a flat point and a hex drive socket, sized at 2.5 mm across flats, for engagement with a standard hex key. The screw is manufactured from alloy steel to Grade 14.9 (45H), giving it high tensile strength suitable for demanding clamping and positioning applications. A black oxide finish provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection on the fastener surface. Thread size is M5 x 0.80 with an overall length of 8 mm. This screw is installed by maintenance technicians, machinists, and mechanical assemblers.

This set screw is used in shaft-collar, pulley, gear, and sprocket assemblies where a set screw must bear against a flat on a shaft without protruding above the mating component surface. The flat point distributes clamping load over a small area on the shaft flat, minimizing shaft damage compared to cup or cone point variants. Typical applications include light industrial machinery, motion control components, and equipment requiring repeatable positioning of rotating or sliding elements. The metric M5 x 0.80 thread is a standard pitch widely used in European and metric-dimensioned assemblies.

Key Features

• Grade 14.9 (45H) alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• Flat point design reduces shaft marring and suits shafts with a machined flat
• Hex socket drive accepts a 2.5 mm hex key for installation in blind or recessed locations
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and low-reflectance appearance
• Conforms to DIN 913 and ISO 4026 fastener standards
• M5 x 0.80 metric thread with 8 mm overall length for precise dimensional fit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 913 and ISO 4026 metric set screw suitable for M5 x 0.80 threaded bores in shaft collars, hubs, gears, and similar mechanical components requiring a flat-point headless fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 2.5 mm hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the mating component bore is clean and free of debris before threading the screw in by hand to confirm proper thread engagement. Torque to the specification listed by the component or equipment manufacturer for M5 Grade 14.9 fasteners. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the hex socket or damage the mating threads.
