Value Collection NT-M6-6MM-AS M6 X 6 Mm Set Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NT-M6-6MM-AS is an M6 metric set screw with a 6 mm thread length, designed for securing components without a protruding head. The hex drive socket accepts a standard hex key for installation. A nylon soft tip at the point protects the mating shaft or surface from damage during tightening, making this fastener well suited for applications where marring or galling must be avoided. Constructed from alloy steel to Grade 8 specification, the screw delivers the tensile strength required for demanding mechanical assemblies. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial assembly personnel are the primary installers of this fastener type.

This set screw is used in machine tool, power transmission, and general industrial assembly applications where a component such as a collar, pulley, gear, or hub must be locked to a shaft. The soft nylon tip allows engagement without permanently marking shaft surfaces, which is an advantage in assemblies that require periodic disassembly or adjustment. The M6 metric thread size fits standard M6 tapped holes found in a wide range of manufactured equipment and fixtures.

Key Features

• M6 metric thread with 6 mm thread length for compact, flush-mount installation
• Nylon soft tip protects shaft and mating surfaces from galling or indentation
• Hex socket drive accepts standard metric hex keys
• Alloy steel construction meets Grade 8 strength requirements
• Metric thread standard for compatibility with M6 tapped assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard M6 metric tapped holes in industrial, machine tool, and mechanical power transmission assemblies where a soft-tip set screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized metric hex key to avoid stripping the socket. Verify the receiving hole is clean, fully tapped to M6 specification, and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not over-torque, as the nylon tip can deform under excessive load. Follow applicable machinery safety lockout and tagout procedures before servicing any assembly containing this fastener.
