Value Collection BT-M10-10MM-AS Set Screw M10 X 10mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BT-M10-10MM-AS is an M10 x 10 mm soft tip set screw designed for mechanical fastening applications where controlled clamping force is required without marring or damaging a shaft surface. The fastener is machined from Grade 8 alloy steel and fitted with a brass soft tip at the point, which contacts the shaft directly and absorbs the seating load. Drive engagement is through an internal hex socket. Installers in mechanical, industrial, and equipment maintenance trades use this type of fastener to secure collars, hubs, pulleys, and similar components onto rotating or stationary shafts.

This set screw is suited for use in mechanical assemblies where a standard cup-point or cone-point fastener would risk gouging a polished or hardened shaft. Typical applications include shaft collars, shaft couplings, gear hubs, and similar components in light industrial and general mechanical assemblies. The brass tip compresses slightly under load, distributing contact stress and reducing the chance of shaft damage during installation or removal cycles. This makes the fastener a practical choice when components are repositioned or adjusted repeatedly.

Key Features

• M10 thread size with 10 mm thread length for compact, flush installation
• Soft tip point with brass tip reduces shaft marring compared to cup or cone point styles
• Grade 8 alloy steel body provides high tensile and torsional strength
• Internal hex drive for standard hex key installation in confined spaces
• Full-thread design maximizes engagement across the entire fastener length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M10 soft tip set screw for use in any mechanical assembly that accepts an M10 threaded setscrew hole, including shaft collars, hubs, and couplings requiring a non-marring point type.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized hex key or hex bit driver matched to the internal socket of the fastener. De-energize and lock out any rotating machinery before installing or adjusting set screws in shaft collars or couplings. Verify the receiving threaded hole is clean and free of debris before threading the fastener to avoid cross-threading or galling. Do not exceed the torque capacity of the brass soft tip, as over-tightening can deform the tip and reduce clamping effectiveness.
