Value Collection MP40468 Set Screw 10-32 X 1/4 in Cup Point 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP40468 is a Grade 8 alloy steel set screw with a cup point and hex drive, sized 10-32 x 1/4 inches overall length. Set screws of this type are fully threaded, headless fasteners used to secure a component — such as a collar, gear, or pulley — against a shaft by biting into the surface with the cup point. The hex drive requires a 3/32 inches hex key for installation. This screw meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 standards, confirming dimensional and mechanical compliance for industrial and trade applications. The package contains 50 pieces.

These set screws are commonly used in light mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment, motors, fan assemblies, and other rotating or sliding component setups where a flush or recessed fastener is required. The 10-32 UNF thread size is a fine-thread designation widely used in precision mechanical and electrical enclosure applications. Grade 8 alloy steel provides the hardness and tensile strength needed for reliable holding force on shafts and cylindrical workpieces. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical maintenance professionals regularly stock this size for field repairs and equipment assembly.

Key Features

• Cup point design bites into shaft material for positive holding without additional adhesive
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength and hardness
• 10-32 UNF fine thread for precise engagement and reduced risk of cross-threading
• 3/32 inches hex drive compatible with standard hex key sets
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F912 dimensional and performance standards
• Sold in a 50-piece package for bench stock and job site use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNF set screw for use in any 10-32 tapped through-hole or blind hole application requiring a cup point, headless configuration per ASME/ANSI B18.3.

Installation Notes

Set screws of this type are installed by licensed tradespeople and mechanical technicians using a 3/32 inches hex key or hex driver. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before accessing rotating assemblies or drive components. Do not overtighten — apply torque gradually until the cup point seats against the shaft. Ensure the mating tapped hole threads are clean and free of debris before installation.
