Value Collection NT-1024-312-AS Set Screw 10-24 X 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NT-1024-312-AS is a 10-24 UNC set screw measuring 5/16 inches in thread length, designed for secure, non-marring fastening applications. It features a hex drive and a soft nylon tip point that grips the mating surface without damaging it. Constructed from Grade 8 alloy steel, this set screw delivers high tensile strength suitable for demanding industrial and mechanical assemblies. It is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers wherever a flush or recessed fastener is required to lock a component in place against a shaft or bore.

This set screw is commonly used in shaft collars, pulleys, gears, knobs, and similar mechanical components where the fastener must seat below the surface and hold position under load. The nylon tip distributes clamping force across the contact point, reducing the risk of marring precision shafts or finished surfaces. It is well suited for both production assembly environments and field maintenance work where protecting shaft surfaces is a priority.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Nylon soft tip point prevents marring or scoring of contact surfaces
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides high tensile and proof load strength
• Hex drive for precise torque application with standard Allen wrenches
• 5/16-inch thread length suits shallow to mid-depth boss applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock set screw for any threaded assembly requiring a 10-24 UNC hex-drive soft-tip fastener in alloy steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a correctly sized hex key or Allen wrench matched to the hex socket. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the screw in. De-energize or lock out any machinery before servicing components that contain set screws. Do not exceed the torque capacity of the nylon tip, as overtightening can deform the tip and reduce holding effectiveness.
