Value Collection R40346449 Set Screw 6-32 X 3/8 in Cup Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40346449 is a 6-32 UNC cup point set screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Set screws are headless fasteners threaded along their full length, used to secure a component — such as a collar, gear, pulley, or knob — against a shaft or inside a bore. The cup point bites into the mating surface under load, providing strong resistance to rotational and axial movement. Drive is 1/16 inch hex (Allen key). These are installed by machinists, mechanical assemblers, HVAC equipment technicians, and electricians wherever a flush or recessed fastening point is required.

The 6-32 thread size with 3/8 inch overall length makes this screw well suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, instrument panels, electrical enclosures, motor mounts, and similar applications where a small-profile locking fastener is needed. The 18-8 stainless steel construction offers solid corrosion resistance for both indoor and moderately exposed environments. Sold individually per package; minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Cup point geometry bites into shaft or surface for reliable axial and rotational hold
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without plating
• Full-length 6-32 UNC threading for consistent engagement across the screw length
• 1/16 inch hex drive accepts standard Allen keys or hex bits
• Headless design sits flush or below surface level for clearance-critical assemblies
• Minimum order quantity of 100 pieces suits shop stock and production use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC cup point set screw; fits any tapped 6-32 hole requiring a headless fastener with cup point geometry.

Installation Notes

Install with a 1/16 inch hex key or appropriate hex bit driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving. Apply only the torque needed to seat the cup point firmly against the shaft — do not overtighten small-diameter set screws, as this can strip threads or fracture the screw. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines when used in load-bearing or rotating-shaft applications.
