Value Collection SS5X04010-050BX M4 Dog Point Set Screw 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS5X04010-050BX is an M4 x 0.70 x 10 mm dog point set screw manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2). Conforming to DIN 915, this fastener features a hex socket drive requiring a 2 mm hex key and an overall length of 10 mm. The dog point tip extends beyond the screw body to locate into a mating hole or groove on a shaft, providing positive anti-rotation retention without marring the workpiece surface. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, this part suits production or maintenance applications where corrosion resistance and precise shaft retention are required.

Dog point set screws in metric M4 thread are common in light mechanical assemblies, motion control components, and precision instrumentation. Typical applications include securing pulleys, collars, knobs, and gears to shafts where the dog point seats into a drilled detent to prevent axial and rotational movement. The stainless steel Grade A2 construction makes these suitable for environments with moderate moisture exposure, chemical splash, or where zinc-plated carbon steel fasteners are not acceptable. Machinists, assembly technicians, and maintenance mechanics are the primary installers.

Key Features

• Dog point tip for positive shaft location in drilled detents, preventing axial and rotational movement
• M4 x 0.70 metric thread, 10 mm overall length, conforming to DIN 915
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2, for corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments
• Hex socket drive, 2 mm hex key size, for torque application in confined spaces
• Sold in multiples of 50 pieces, suited for production quantities and stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 915-compliant M4 x 0.70 dog point set screw for use in any application specifying that metric thread pitch, point style, and fastener standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by assembly technicians or maintenance mechanics using a 2 mm hex key or hex driver bit. Ensure the mating shaft detent or location hole is drilled to the correct diameter and depth to fully seat the dog point before tightening. Do not overtighten, as set screws in small metric sizes are susceptible to socket damage and thread stripping. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines and relevant mechanical assembly standards for the specific application.
