Value Collection BT-632-375-AS Set Screw 6-32 X 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BT-632-375-AS is a Grade 8 alloy steel set screw with a soft tip point, designed for applications where secure fastening is required without damaging the contact surface. The hex drive accepts a standard hex key for installation and removal. The brass tip at the point of contact distributes clamping force while protecting the mating surface from gouging or marring. This fastener is suited for machine assembly, shaft-collar locking, and precision adjustment applications across manufacturing, mechanical, and industrial trades.

This set screw is used in applications where a flush or below-surface installation is required, such as locking collars, pulleys, gears, and knobs onto shafts. The soft brass tip makes it appropriate for use against hardened or finished shafts where surface damage must be avoided. It is commonly installed by machinists, millwrights, and mechanical assembly technicians working on rotating equipment and precision components.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides high tensile and torsional strength
• Soft brass tip protects mating surfaces from damage during clamping
• Hex drive accepts standard hex keys for installation
• Thread size 6-32 UNC/UNF compatible threading
• Length of thread measured at 3/8 inches for consistent engagement depth

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC/UNF threaded set screw suitable for use in threaded collars, hubs, and fixtures requiring a soft-tip point style fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified mechanical technicians using a properly sized hex key to avoid stripping the drive. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten, as the brass tip can deform under excessive torque. Always de-energize and lock out rotating machinery before servicing any shaft-mounted components.
