Value Collection 88547492 Cup Point Set Screw 6-32 Pack 25

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88547492 is a Grade 8 steel cup point set screw designed for secure, vibration-resistant fastening in mechanical assemblies. Threaded 6-32 UNC with an overall length of 3/16 inches, it features a 1/16-inch hex drive and a black oxide finish that provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection. The cup point bites into the mating shaft surface to resist rotational slippage. These screws are sold in a package of 25 and are a standard choice for maintenance mechanics, millwrights, and machine technicians working on small-bore shaft and collar applications.

Cup point set screws in this size range are commonly used to lock collars, pulleys, gears, and knobs onto shafts in light-duty mechanical and electrical equipment. The 6-32 thread size is standard in small motor assemblies, HVAC blower wheel hubs, and general industrial hardware. The black oxide finish suits both indoor mechanical environments and applications where surface marring from a bright fastener is undesirable. Grade 8 material provides higher hardness and holding strength compared to standard Grade 5 fasteners in the same size class.

Key Features

• Cup point geometry bites into shaft surface for positive rotational lock
• Grade 8 steel construction for increased hardness and clamping force
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and low-reflectance appearance
• 1/16-inch hex drive accepts standard hex key or Allen wrench
• 6-32 UNC thread standard for broad hardware compatibility
• Sold in a package of 25 for bench stock and service kits

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC cup point set screw suitable for collars, hubs, pulleys, and similar components requiring a grub-screw retention method on small-diameter shafts.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1/16-inch hex key. Ensure the shaft and collar bore are clean and free of debris before seating the screw. Follow applicable torque guidelines for Grade 8 fasteners at this thread size per your equipment manufacturer specifications. For critical assemblies, apply a thread-locking compound per the equipment service manual.
