Value Collection BT-M6-12MM-AS M6 X 12 Mm Set Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BT-M6-12MM-AS is an M6 x 12 mm soft tip set screw designed for fastening and positioning applications where the mating surface must be protected from damage. The body is machined from Grade 8 alloy steel for high tensile strength, while the brass tip contacts the mating component to prevent marring or gouging. Drive is internal hex, allowing installation with a standard hex key. This screw is sold in a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces. Typical installers include industrial maintenance technicians, machine builders, and mechanical assembly professionals.

Soft tip set screws are used in applications where a hardened steel point would damage a shaft, collar, or precision surface. Common install scenarios include securing collars, pulleys, gears, and knobs to shafting where surface finish or shaft integrity must be preserved. The brass tip compresses slightly under torque to grip without scoring. This screw uses metric threading to M6 standard, making it suited for metric-dimensioned assemblies across industrial, HVAC, and mechanical equipment.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel body provides high clamping force and resistance to stripping
• Brass soft tip protects mating shaft or surface from marring during tightening
• Internal hex drive for precise torque application with standard hex keys
• M6 metric thread for compatibility with metric-dimensioned assemblies
• 12 mm thread length suits shallow to mid-depth engagement requirements
• Sold in multiples of 5 for service and production use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric set screw for use in any M6-threaded collar, hub, or fixture requiring a soft tip point to protect shaft or seating surfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with an appropriately sized hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the threaded bore is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not exceed the rated torque capacity of the M6 thread to avoid stripping. Replace any set screw that shows deformation of the hex drive socket or brass tip.
