Value Collection R63642684 Set Screw 10-32 X 1/4 in Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63642684 is a 10-32 x 1/4 inch cup point set screw manufactured from brass. Set screws are fully threaded fasteners with no head, designed to secure a component — such as a collar, pulley, or gear — against a shaft by applying axial force through a recessed drive. This screw uses a 3/32 inch hex key drive and features a cup point tip, which bites into the mating surface to resist rotation and axial movement. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and is non-sparking, making it suitable for applications where ferrous fasteners are not appropriate. These are sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

This set screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general equipment maintenance applications. The 10-32 UNF thread is a fine-pitch unified thread commonly found in instrument panels, motor shaft collars, valve stems, and small mechanical linkages. The cup point geometry is the most widely used set screw point type and works on both hardened and soft shaft materials. The brass material is commonly specified where galling on soft shafts must be minimized or where magnetic neutrality is required.

Key Features

• Cup point tip bites into shaft surface to resist axial and rotational movement
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and non-sparking properties
• 10-32 UNF fine-pitch thread for precise engagement in light-duty assemblies
• 3/32 inch hex key drive for installation with standard Allen wrenches
• Overall length of 1/4 inch suits shallow collar and hub applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF cup point set screw suitable for use in any application requiring a headless brass fastener of this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Install using a 3/32 inch hex key; do not use an improperly sized key as it will damage the drive socket. Ensure the shaft or mating surface is clean and free of debris before tightening. De-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing components secured by set screws. Brass is a softer material than steel — do not overtorque, as thread stripping can occur.
