Value Collection SS5X06008-050BX M6 Set Screw Dog Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS5X06008-050BX is an M6 x 1.00 x 8 mm dog point set screw manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel to Grade A2. It features a hex drive socket sized at 3.00 mm and conforms to DIN 915 fastener standards. The dog point tip extends beyond the end of the screw body, providing a locating pin function that resists lateral movement in the mating component. This fastener is suited for machine assemblies, shaft collars, and positioning applications where secure, repeatable part location is required. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies.

This set screw is used in applications requiring a captive or protruding point to locate or retain a component on a shaft or in a bore. The metric M6 x 1.00 thread and 8 mm overall length make it appropriate for compact mechanical assemblies in industrial, HVAC, and general trade equipment. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for mildly wet or chemically exposed environments. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Dog point tip provides positive shaft location and resists rotational and lateral slippage
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel Grade A2 construction offers corrosion resistance
• Conforms to DIN 915 fastener standard for consistent dimensional accuracy
• 3.00 mm hex key drive for precise tightening with standard hex wrenches
• M6 x 1.00 metric thread with 8 mm overall length for compact installation envelopes

Compatibility

Designed as a metric DIN 915 dog point set screw for use in standard M6 x 1.00 threaded bores across industrial machinery, shaft collars, and mechanical positioning assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 3.00 mm hex key. De-energize or lock out any machinery before installing or adjusting set screws on rotating shafts. Do not exceed the rated tightening torque for M6 stainless fasteners, and be aware that galling can occur with stainless steel threads — applying an appropriate anti-seize compound is a common practice. Verify thread engagement depth meets the requirements of the assembly design before returning equipment to service.
