Value Collection C50000101 Cup Point Set Screw 6-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C50000101 is a cup point set screw intended for mechanical assemblies where a fastener must apply holding force without a protruding head. The screw features a 6-32 UNC thread and measures 3/8 inches in overall length. Drive is a 1/16-inch hex key socket, making installation straightforward in confined spaces. Constructed from Grade 8 alloy steel, this set screw delivers the hardness and tensile strength required for industrial and light mechanical applications. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians install these in shaft collars, pulleys, gears, and similar components to lock rotating or sliding parts in position.

These set screws are suited for general mechanical and industrial applications requiring a headless fastener that seats flush or below the surface of a mating part. The cup point tip bites into the mating material to resist rotational slippage, making it a common choice in motor shaft assemblies, conveyor hardware, and equipment maintenance. This listing covers a package quantity of 50 pieces, suitable for bench stock or job-lot replenishment.

Key Features

• Cup point tip bites into mating surface to resist rotation and axial movement
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides high hardness and load capacity
• 6-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 1/16-inch hex key drive allows use in recessed or confined locations
• Headless design seats flush with or below the workpiece surface
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard headless set screw for any tapped 6-32 UNC hole requiring a cup point fastener in shaft collars, pulleys, gears, and similar mechanical components.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1/16-inch hex key or Allen driver; ensure the driver fully seats in the socket before applying torque to avoid rounding. Power down and de-energize any rotating equipment before installing or adjusting set screws. The mating shaft or surface should be clean and free of burrs to allow the cup point to seat properly. Follow applicable machinery safety standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines when securing rotating components.
