Value Collection BT-1024-500-AS Set Screw 10-24 X 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BT-1024-500-AS is a Grade 8 alloy steel set screw with a soft tip point, designed for precision clamping and positioning applications in mechanical assemblies. The screw features a 10-24 UNC/UNF thread size and a 1/2-inch thread length, providing a secure hold in threaded bores. The hex drive socket allows for reliable torque application with a standard hex key. A brass tip protects the mating surface from marring, making this fastener well suited for use against shafts, rods, or delicate components. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these in production and repair environments.

This set screw is used in shaft collars, shaft couplings, pulleys, sprockets, and similar mechanical hardware where a flush or below-flush fastener is required. The soft brass tip is particularly useful in assemblies where the clamped component must be removed and repositioned without surface damage. Suitable for general industrial, HVAC equipment, and light mechanical applications requiring a Grade 8 strength fastener with surface protection at the contact point.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• Soft brass tip protects mating shaft or surface from scoring
• Hex drive socket for precise torque application with standard hex keys
• 10-24 UNC/UNF thread standard ensures broad tooling compatibility
• 1/2-inch thread length measured as full length of thread engagement
• Headless profile sits flush or below surface for unobstructed clearance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 10-24 threaded bore and a soft-tip set screw with Grade 8 alloy steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a calibrated hex key sized for the drive socket. Always ensure the threaded bore is clean and free of debris before installation. De-energize or lock out any rotating equipment before seating or adjusting set screws. Do not exceed the rated drive torque for the screw size, and confirm thread engagement depth is adequate before applying a load.
