Value Collection NT-M4-6MM-AS Set Screw M4 X 6mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NT-M4-6MM-AS is an M4 x 6 mm soft tip set screw engineered for precision clamping and locking applications in mechanical assemblies. Constructed from Grade 8 alloy steel with a hex drive socket, this set screw delivers reliable holding strength without marring the mating surface, thanks to its nylon soft tip. The nylon tip absorbs contact stress and protects shafts, spindles, and delicate finished surfaces from damage during tightening. It is suitable for use in light-duty to moderate-duty mechanical assemblies where surface preservation is critical alongside secure axial or rotational locking.

This set screw is commonly used by machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assembly professionals in industrial and commercial settings. Typical applications include securing collars, pulleys, knobs, and hubs to shafts where shaft surface integrity must be maintained. The soft nylon tip makes it appropriate for use on hardened or coated shafts where a cup-point or cone-point fastener would cause surface damage.

Key Features

• M4 thread size with 6 mm thread length for compact, low-profile installations
• Nylon soft tip protects mating shaft or surface from scoring and deformation
• Grade 8 alloy steel body provides high tensile and torsional strength
• Hex drive socket for standard hex key installation in confined spaces
• Length measurement type is full thread length, with no unthreaded shank

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M4 soft tip set screw for use in any mechanical assembly requiring an M4 internally threaded collar, hub, or clamp where nylon-tipped point protection is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized metric hex key or hex driver; verify the hex socket size before applying torque to avoid stripping. De-energize, de-pressurize, or lock out any equipment before servicing assemblies that contain set screws. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the nylon tip by applying set screw loads on surfaces that require a hardened-tip or cup-point fastener. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards and equipment manufacturer specifications for seating procedure.
