Value Collection SS5X03008-050BX M3 Set Screw Dog Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS5X03008-050BX is an M3 x 0.50 x 8 mm dog point set screw manufactured from Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2). The dog point tip provides a locating pin function, allowing the screw to seat into a mating hole or recess on a shaft to resist rotational and axial movement. Drive is a 1.50 mm hex key socket. The plain finish leaves the stainless material exposed, relying on the alloy's inherent corrosion resistance. This fastener conforms to DIN 915 dimensional standards. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians use this style of set screw in precision shaft collars, couplings, and positioning fixtures.

This set screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where a positive locating point is needed between a threaded bore and a shaft or mating component. Common applications include small motor shaft collars, encoder mounts, actuator linkages, and instrumentation hardware. The M3 metric thread and 8 mm overall length target compact assemblies typical in HVAC actuators, small pump couplings, and control linkages. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Dog point tip seats into a mating recess for positive shaft location and slip resistance
• Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) provides corrosion resistance without plating
• 1.50 mm hex key drive for installation in confined or recessed bores
• Conforms to DIN 915 dimensional standard for consistent fitment
• Plain finish — no coating to flake, chip, or introduce dimensional variation
• M3 x 0.50 metric thread for use in metric-threaded components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for any assembly specifying a DIN 915 M3 x 0.50 x 8 mm dog point set screw in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1.50 mm hex key (Allen) driver. De-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing shaft collars, couplings, or linkages secured by this fastener. Confirm the mating bore thread is clean and free of debris before threading the screw to avoid galling, which stainless fasteners are susceptible to — apply an appropriate anti-gall compound if specified by the equipment manufacturer. Torque to the value specified by the assembly drawing or equipment manufacturer.
