Value Collection SS5X05016-050BX M5 Dog Point Set Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS5X05016-050BX is a metric dog point set screw designed for use in mechanical assemblies where a protruding point is needed to locate, retain, or lock a shaft or component in position. Threaded M5 x 0.80 and measuring 16 mm in overall length, this set screw is machined from Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) and carries a plain finish. Drive is a 3.5 mm internal hex. Conforming to DIN 915, it delivers consistent dimensional accuracy for precision-fit applications. The dog point nose extends beyond the screw tip to seat into a mating hole or flat, preventing lateral movement under vibration or load.

This set screw is suited for general industrial, mechanical, and trade service applications where corrosion resistance and metric dimensioning are required. Typical uses include shaft collars, sprockets, pulleys, and machine components that require positive axial or rotational retention. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or where material compatibility with corrosive media is a concern. Sold as a box quantity with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per transaction, this part is appropriate for maintenance shops, contractors, and OEM assembly operations stocking metric fastener inventory.

Key Features

• Dog point nose seats into mating shaft holes for positive rotational and axial retention
• Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Designation A2, for corrosion resistance in wet or chemical-adjacent environments
• M5 x 0.80 metric thread for accurate fit in standard metric-threaded components
• 3.5 mm internal hex drive for use with standard metric hex keys or L-wrenches
• Plain finish with no coating or plating that could affect dimensional tolerances
• Manufactured to DIN 915 standard for dimensional consistency and interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 915 metric dog point set screw suitable for any M5 x 0.80 threaded application requiring a dog point engagement style. Verify mating component thread specification and point hole diameter before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3.5 mm hex key or T-handle driver. Always ensure the mating shaft or component contains a properly sized dog point recess to accept the nose of the set screw before tightening. Verify that threads in the receiving component are clean and free of debris prior to installation. Follow the equipment manufacturer's torque and retention specifications for the assembly being serviced.
