It features a soft tip point with a brass tip insert, which protects mating shaft surfaces from damage during and after tightening. The hex drive allows torque application with standard hex keys. Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides high tensile and proof load strength, making this fastener suitable for demanding clamping and locking applications in mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set screw is used in mechanical and industrial applications where a shaft, rod, or similar component must be secured within a bore or collar without a protruding fastener head. Typical installations include shaft collars, pulleys, gears, couplings, and sprockets. The brass soft tip reduces surface marring on finished shafts, making it a preferred choice when the mating surface must remain undamaged for repositioning or removal. It is installed by maintenance technicians and machine builders working across industrial, commercial, and light manufacturing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 8 alloy steel construction for high clamping strength and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoft brass tip point protects finished shaft surfaces from damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex drive accepts standard hex keys for controlled torque application\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-inch thread length provides adequate engagement depth for secure holding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFully threaded, headless design sits flush or below the surface of the collar or hub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard inch-series set screw for use in any 5\/16-18 UNC tapped hole requiring a soft tip, headless fastener in Grade 8 alloy steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed with a hex key or Allen wrench sized for a 5\/16-18 set screw. Ensure the tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading in the fastener. De-energize or lock out any rotating machinery before servicing shaft-mounted components. Do not exceed the rated torque for the thread size and grade, and verify the brass tip is seated correctly against the shaft before final tightening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC \/ UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Measurement Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Length of Thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Soft Tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161505\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BT-51618-625-AS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697879089458,"sku":"BT-51618-625-AS","price":1712.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b317bfcdc2cdcd69cf56fc91d8277b0a.jpg?v=1788355337","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-bt-51618-625-as-set-screw-5-16-18-x-5-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
