Value Collection R63260686 Set Screw 6-32 X 5/8 in Cup Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63260686 is a 6-32 UNC cup point set screw manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel. Set screws are headless fasteners that thread fully into a tapped hole and bear directly against a mating surface to lock shafts, collars, pulleys, and similar components in position. The cup point geometry creates a small circular indent on the mating shaft, providing positive retention without fully penetrating the surface. This screw is driven with a 1/16 inch hex key and measures 5/8 inch in overall length. Grade 18-8 stainless steel offers solid corrosion resistance, making it suitable for moderate-exposure environments in mechanical, electrical, and general maintenance applications.

This set screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where a 6-32 threaded hole is already present. Typical applications include securing shaft collars on small motors, locking adjustment knobs on control panels, and fastening pulleys or sprockets on low-torque equipment. The cup point style is one of the most widely used point types in trade and industrial settings for general-purpose shaft retention where permanent marking of the shaft is acceptable. Sold individually per package; minimum order quantity is 100 pieces.

Key Features

• Cup point geometry provides reliable shaft retention with a small surface indent
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance for moderate-exposure environments
• 6-32 UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 1/16 inch hex drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen wrenches
• 5/8 inch overall length suits a range of collar and hub thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC replacement or new-installation set screw for any mechanical assembly with a corresponding inch-series tapped hole accepting a cup point set screw.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 1/16 inch hex key; ensure the key is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the drive socket. De-energize and lock out any equipment before accessing rotating components such as shafts or collars. Thread engagement should be confirmed as full and snug before returning equipment to service. Handle stainless steel fasteners carefully to avoid galling during installation — applying an appropriate anti-seize compound is common practice in the trade.
