Value Collection BT-632-125-AS Set Screw 6-32 X 1/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BT-632-125-AS is a Grade 8 alloy steel set screw with a soft brass tip, designed for threaded fastening applications where marring or damage to the mating surface must be avoided. Featuring a 6-32 UNC thread and a 1/8-inch thread length, this screw is driven with a hex key and seats securely without biting into or scoring the contact surface. The brass tip deforms slightly under load, distributing clamping force while protecting shafts, rods, and other precision components. Maintenance technicians, machinists, and trade professionals working with mechanical assemblies rely on this fastener type for set positions on rotating or sliding parts.

This set screw is suited for use in light mechanical assemblies, shaft collars, pulleys, and similar components where a 6-32 thread engagement is specified. The soft tip point makes it a preferred choice when locking against hardened or finished shafts where a cup-point or cone-point screw would leave unacceptable marks. Typical install scenarios include motor shaft collar retention, setpoint locking on adjustment mechanisms, and panel hardware assemblies in HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical equipment.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• Brass soft tip protects mating surfaces from scoring or damage during tightening
• 6-32 UNC thread standard for compatibility with standard unified coarse-thread applications
• Hex drive socket for precise torque application with a standard hex key
• 1/8-inch thread length suits shallow engagement applications in compact assemblies
• Thread standard conforms to both UNC and UNF classifications as noted by the manufacturer

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance-stock fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 6-32 threaded set screw with a soft tip point.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanics and maintenance technicians using a properly sized hex key. De-energize and lock out any equipment before accessing rotating or powered assemblies. Tighten to the torque specification called out in the original equipment documentation — do not over-torque, as the brass tip can deform excessively and reduce clamping effectiveness. Confirm thread engagement is clean and free of debris before driving the screw.
