Value Collection BT-M8-10MM-AS Set Screw M8 X 10mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BT-M8-10MM-AS is an M8 metric set screw with a 10 mm thread length, designed for securing components in assemblies where surface protection is a priority. The hex drive socket accepts standard hex keys for installation and removal. The soft tip point — fitted with a brass tip — contacts the mating surface without gouging or marring it, making this fastener well suited for use against shafts, delicate finishes, or softer base materials. The body is manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel, providing high tensile strength and resistance to shear under load. Machinists, millwrights, and mechanical contractors commonly specify this type of set screw in shaft-collar, pulley, and hub applications.

This set screw is used in mechanical assemblies where a headless fastener must bear against a shaft or component surface without causing damage. Typical applications include motor shaft collars, set-screw hubs, conveyor components, and precision machinery. The M8 metric thread pitch and 10 mm engaged thread length make it a fit for mid-load clamping duties in both light industrial and commercial mechanical systems. The brass soft tip sacrificially absorbs contact stress, preserving the finish and dimensional integrity of the clamped surface.

Key Features

• M8 metric thread with 10 mm full thread length for mid-range clamping applications
• Hex drive socket compatible with standard metric hex keys and allen wrenches
• Brass soft tip protects mating surfaces from marring and scoring
• Grade 8 alloy steel body provides high tensile and shear strength
• Headless design sits flush or below the surface of the receiving component

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M8 metric set screw replacement suitable for shaft collars, hubs, pulleys, and mechanical assemblies requiring a soft-tip point to protect contact surfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized metric hex key. Verify the receiving tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading in the screw. Torque to the value specified by the equipment manufacturer for M8 fasteners at Grade 8 strength. De-energize and lock out any machinery before servicing components that retain this fastener.
