Value Collection R63266443 Set Screw 10-24 Cup Point 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63266443 is a 10-24 UNC set screw with a cup point, manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel. This fastener measures 3/16 inches in overall length and is driven with a 3/32-inch hex key. The cup point configuration bites into the mating shaft surface to resist rotational and axial movement, making it well suited for securing collars, gears, pulleys, and similar components onto shafts. Grade 18-8 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and HVAC or plumbing installers routinely stock this size for general mechanical assembly and field service.

This set screw is used across a wide range of light to medium industrial and mechanical applications wherever a headless fastener is needed to lock a component onto a shaft or inside a threaded bore. Common install scenarios include fan blade hubs, motor shaft collars, linkage assemblies, and valve stems in HVAC, plumbing, and general equipment maintenance. The 10-24 thread size is one of the most common inch-series coarse thread specifications, keeping replacement and sourcing straightforward in the field.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• Cup point design bites into shaft surface for positive locking under vibration
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or outdoor service environments
• 3/16-inch overall length suits shallow-bore and thin-hub applications
• 3/32-inch hex drive accepts standard hex keys and hex-bit drivers
• Headless profile sits flush or below the surface, eliminating snag hazards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series set screw for any threaded assembly requiring a 10-24 UNC headless fastener with a cup point. Verify thread engagement depth and shaft hardness are appropriate before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/32-inch hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the screw in. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing rotating assemblies or shaft components. Do not overtighten, as the cup point can deform soft shaft materials if excessive torque is applied.
