Value Collection BT-M8-16MM-AS M8 X 16mm Set Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BT-M8-16MM-AS is an M8 x 16mm soft tip set screw designed for mechanical fastening applications where a hardened point would damage a shaft or delicate mating surface. The fastener features a hex socket drive and a brass tip insert that contacts the workpiece, distributing clamping load without scoring. Built from Grade 8 alloy steel, the body delivers high tensile strength while the softer brass tip protects precision shafts, leadsccrews, and similar components. Mechanical assemblers and maintenance technicians install this type of set screw in collars, hubs, pulleys, and similar shaft-retention applications.

This set screw is suited for metric fastening applications in light industrial, maintenance, and mechanical assembly settings. The M8 thread size and 16mm thread length make it appropriate for medium-duty shaft locking in situations where surface marring is a concern. The brass soft tip provides controlled grip without leaving deep indentations on hardened or finished shaft surfaces. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• M8 metric thread with 16mm thread length for precise fitment in standard metric tapped holes
• Soft brass tip protects shaft surfaces from scoring during tightening
• Grade 8 alloy steel body provides high shear and tensile strength
• Hex socket drive for reliable torque transfer with standard hex keys
• Metric thread standard ensures compatibility with ISO-dimensioned components

Compatibility

Designed as a metric soft tip set screw for use in collars, hubs, and mechanical assemblies requiring an M8 tapped hole and protection of the mating shaft surface.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical assemblers or maintenance technicians using a calibrated hex key or Allen wrench sized to the hex socket. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not exceed the rated fastener grade torque range for M8 fasteners as specified by applicable mechanical standards. Inspect the brass tip for wear and replace the set screw if the tip is deformed to the point that it no longer seats flush against the shaft surface.
