Value Collection SS5X05005-050BX M5 Set Screw Dog Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS5X05005-050BX is an M5 x 0.80 x 5 mm dog point set screw manufactured from Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2). Conforming to DIN 915, this headless fastener uses a 3.50 mm hex key drive and is threaded across its full length. The dog point extends beyond the thread to locate into a mating hole or groove, providing positive positioning and resistance to lateral movement under vibration or load. Installed by mechanical technicians, millwrights, and assembly professionals wherever a secure, corrosion-resistant set screw is required in metric applications.

This set screw is suited for use in mechanical assemblies where a component must be precisely located and retained on a shaft or in a housing. The dog point design is commonly chosen for applications requiring repeatable re-engagement with a drilled locating hole. Grade 18-8 stainless construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or mild corrosive conditions. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Dog point geometry for positive shaft location and repeatable re-engagement
• Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) for corrosion resistance
• Metric thread M5 x 0.80 conforming to DIN 915 standard
• 3.50 mm hex key drive for installation in confined spaces
• Headless design allows flush or sub-flush installation
• Overall length of 5 mm suitable for thin-wall or shallow-bore applications

Compatibility

Designed as a metric DIN 915 dog point set screw for use in any M5 x 0.80 threaded bore requiring a headless, hex-drive fastener with a dog point tip.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3.50 mm hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating bore is clean and the locating hole or groove is properly aligned before seating the dog point. De-energize and lock out any rotating equipment before installing or removing set screws on shafts. Follow applicable machine-safety codes and torque to the fastener manufacturer's published specification for the thread size and material grade.
