Value Collection SS5X03006-050BX M3 Set Screw Dog Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS5X03006-050BX is a metric dog point set screw designed for precision clamping and positioning applications in mechanical assemblies. It is manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel to Grade A2 per DIN 915, providing corrosion resistance suitable for demanding environments. The M3 x 0.50 thread pitch and 6 mm overall length make it well-suited for compact shaft-to-hub locking, collar positioning, and fixture setups where a protruding dog point is needed to locate into a drilled recess. The 1.5 mm hex key drive allows precise torque application in confined spaces. This fastener is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and equipment assemblers across industrial and trade settings.

This set screw is used in applications requiring a positive mechanical stop or anti-rotation feature between rotating components and shafts. Typical install scenarios include motor shaft collars, set collar assemblies, jig fixtures, and precision mechanical devices where metric threading is specified. The dog point engages a drilled indent in the shaft to resist axial and rotational movement without full clamping load on the shaft surface alone. The minimum order quantity is 50 pieces per order, with a package quantity of 1, making it appropriate for shop-stock replenishment or production runs requiring consistent metric fastener inventory.

Key Features

• Dog point tip engages shaft recesses for positive mechanical location and anti-rotation resistance
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel Grade A2 construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments
• M3 x 0.50 metric thread with 6 mm overall length for use in compact assemblies
• 1.5 mm hex key drive allows installation in tight clearances
• Plain finish with no coating for dimensional consistency and predictable thread engagement
• Manufactured to DIN 915 standard for dimensional interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and maintenance replacement metric set screw for mechanical assemblies specifying a DIN 915 dog point configuration in M3 x 0.50 thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a 1.5 mm hex key. Ensure the mating shaft has a properly drilled and deburred dog point recess sized to accept the dog point tip before installation. De-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing rotating assemblies. Do not exceed the rated torque range for M3 stainless fasteners as specified by applicable mechanical standards, and avoid cross-threading by hand-starting the screw before applying the hex key.
