Value Collection MP40341 Cup Point Set Screw 8-32 Pack 50

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP40341 is a cup point set screw designed for secure, flush fastening in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel, this screw delivers the tensile strength required for high-stress clamping and locking applications. The 8-32 UNC thread pattern and 3/8-inch overall length make it a compact yet reliable fastener for shaft collars, pulleys, and similar components. A 5/64-inch hex key drive allows precise torque application in tight spaces. Sold in a package of 50, it suits both field service kits and shop stock.

This set screw is used across a wide range of trades and industries wherever a threaded fastener must bear against a mating surface without protruding. Common applications include motor shaft retention, conveyor components, HVAC blower wheel hubs, and general mechanical assemblies requiring a headless locking fastener. The cup point geometry bites into the mating surface to resist rotation and axial movement under vibration and load.

Key Features

• Cup point geometry provides positive bite into mating surfaces to resist rotation and axial shift
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and proof load capacity
• 8-32 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 5/64-inch hex key drive allows use in confined or recessed locations
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 fastener standards
• Packaged in quantities of 50 for bench stock or service kit replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC cup point set screw suitable for any tapped hole or threaded component conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional requirements.

Installation Notes

Set screws are typically installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and HVAC or mechanical service professionals using a 5/64-inch hex key or allen wrench. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before servicing any rotating assembly. Ensure the tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the fastener in. Do not exceed the rated torque range for the fastener size and grade as specified in applicable ASME standards.
