Value Collection NT-M8-8MM-AS M8 X 8 Mm Set Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NT-M8-8MM-AS is an M8 x 8 mm cup-point set screw with a soft nylon tip, designed for threaded fastening applications where marring or damaging the mating surface must be avoided. Machined from alloy steel to Grade 8 standards, it delivers the mechanical strength needed for industrial and mechanical assembly work while the nylon tip absorbs contact force against shafts and bearing surfaces. Drive engagement is through a hex socket. This fastener is typically installed by machinists, millwrights, and mechanical technicians during equipment assembly, shaft retention, and fixture setup tasks.

This set screw is suited for use in shaft collars, pulleys, gears, knobs, and similar power-transmission components where a flush or recessed fastener is required. The soft nylon tip prevents gouging on polished shafts and finished surfaces, making it appropriate for precision assemblies and applications that require disassembly without surface damage. It fits standard M8 threaded bores and is a common replacement or supplemental fastener in general industrial, manufacturing, and maintenance environments.

Key Features

• M8 thread size with 8 mm thread length for compact, flush-mount installations
• Nylon soft tip protects polished shafts and finished surfaces from marring during tightening
• Alloy steel Grade 8 construction provides high tensile and shear strength
• Hex drive socket for standard hex key or Allen wrench installation
• Headless profile sits fully recessed in bore for clearance-sensitive assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental fastener for standard M8 threaded bores in shaft collars, pulleys, gears, and similar mechanical components requiring a soft-tip set screw.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a correctly sized hex key or Allen wrench matching the socket dimension of this fastener. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and free of debris before threading the screw in by hand to avoid cross-threading. Torque to the assembly specification defined by the equipment manufacturer. Always de-energize and lock out rotating equipment before servicing any shaft-mounted components that this fastener secures.
