Value Collection NT-M6-12MM-AS M6 X 12mm Set Screw Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NT-M6-12MM-AS is an M6 x 12 mm metric set screw designed for securing components without a protruding head. It features a hex drive socket and a soft nylon tip point, which protects the mating surface from marring or indentation during tightening. Manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel, this set screw delivers high tensile strength suitable for demanding mechanical assemblies. The nylon tip compresses against the shaft or surface to hold position without scoring, making it well suited for precision adjustment applications in machinery, shafts, and fixtures.

This set screw is used in mechanical and industrial maintenance applications where a flush or recessed fastener is required. Typical installations include shaft collars, gear hubs, pulleys, and other rotating or sliding components where the fastener must lock a part in place without damaging the mating surface. It is appropriate for use in light manufacturing, HVAC equipment assemblies, pump and motor applications, and general mechanical maintenance. The metric M6 thread standard makes it compatible with metric-spec equipment common in industrial and commercial settings.

Key Features

• M6 x 12 mm metric thread with full thread-length engagement
• Soft nylon tip protects mating surfaces from scoring or galling
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and torsional strength
• Hex drive socket for standard hex key or Allen wrench installation
• Headless design sits flush or below the surface for clearance-critical assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M6 metric set screw for use in shaft collars, hubs, pulleys, and other mechanical components requiring a recessed, surface-protecting fastener in metric-threaded applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized hex key or Allen wrench matching the M6 hex socket. De-energize and lock out any rotating equipment before installing or adjusting set screws on shafts or hubs. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can deform or extrude the nylon tip and reduce holding force. Follow applicable machinery maintenance codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidance for the specific assembly.
