At 1\/4 inch overall length, this screw is suited for light-duty clamping and positioning tasks in mechanical assemblies. It is manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial, HVAC, and mechanical environments. The hex drive requires a 0.050-inch hex key for installation. This type of fastener is typically installed by machinists, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and other trade professionals working with set-screw collars, shaft collars, pulleys, or adjustment mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set screw is used in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a compact, corrosion-resistant fastener is needed to lock rotating or sliding components onto a shaft or within a housing. Common applications include motor shaft collars, fan hubs, adjustment knobs, and similar hardware found in HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, and general mechanical assemblies. The cup point bites into the mating surface to provide positive locking under vibration and load. This item is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread size 4-40 UNC for compatibility with standard 4-40 tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCup point design provides positive bite into the mating shaft or surface for secure locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in humid and wet service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex drive requires a 0.050-inch hex key — standard hex wrench set covers this size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch overall length suits shallow-bore and thin-collar applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 4-40 UNC replacement or service set screw for mechanical assemblies using 4-40 tapped set-screw positions with cup-point and hex-drive requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed using a 0.050-inch hex key; ensure the key is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the drive socket. Before servicing any assembly, de-energize all electrical power and relieve any mechanical load or tension on the shaft being secured. Do not overtighten small-diameter set screws, as thread stripping is common in fine-thread fasteners of this size. Refer to equipment manufacturer documentation for any assembly-specific fastening procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch (Overall Length)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Key Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.050 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.001 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161505\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: R40344428\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692861882674,"sku":"R40344428","price":2213.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/58d9111cbdf94ff6185dd9fa2845a01b.jpg?v=1788304189","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-r40344428-set-screw-4-40-x-1-4-in-cup-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
