Value Collection NT-632-500-SS Set Screw 6-32 Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NT-632-500-SS is a hex-drive set screw designed for secure, non-marring fastening in light mechanical assemblies. Threaded at 6-32 UNC/UNF with a 0.5-inch length of thread, this fastener features a nylon soft tip point that applies clamping force without scoring or damaging the shaft or surface it contacts. The body is machined from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, providing solid corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments. Installed with a hex key, it is suited for maintenance technicians, machine builders, and trade professionals who need a reliable, reusable set screw with a protective tip interface.

This set screw is used in applications where a hardened cup-point or cone-point would damage a shaft, spindle, or finished surface. Common install scenarios include securing collars, pulleys, knobs, and light hubs to shafts in mechanical, HVAC, and general industrial assemblies. The nylon tip distributes load gently, making it a practical choice in both production and service environments where shaft integrity must be maintained.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Nylon soft tip point protects shaft and mating surfaces from scoring
• 6-32 UNC/UNF thread size for broad fastener compatibility
• 0.5-inch threaded length suits shallow-engagement applications
• Hex drive for standard hex key installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC/UNF hex-drive set screw suitable for use in threaded holes requiring a soft-tip, non-marring fastener in light mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a correctly sized hex key to avoid rounding the drive socket. Verify that the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not overtighten — the nylon tip is a low-load interface and excessive torque can deform or displace the tip. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener seating.
