Value Collection SS5X06012-050BX M6 Dog Point Set Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS5X06012-050BX is a dog point set screw designed for precise shaft-to-hub and collar positioning applications. Manufactured to DIN 915 standards, it features an M6 x 1.00 metric thread with an overall length of 12 mm and a 3 mm hex key drive. The dog point extends below the fastener body to seat into a drilled locating hole, providing positive angular and axial positioning without relying solely on friction. The 18-8 austenitic stainless steel construction per Grade A2 offers solid corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or outdoor service environments. This screw is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople using standard metric hex keys.

This set screw is suited for use in mechanical assemblies where a shaft, collar, gear hub, or pulley requires secure and repeatable positioning. The dog point is particularly well-suited for applications requiring frequent adjustment or reassembly, since the point can be reseated into its locating hole accurately each time. It is commonly used in light industrial machinery, conveyor systems, and fluid handling equipment where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per transaction.

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 915 dog point set screw for use with M6 x 1.00 metric threaded holes in collars, hubs, gears, and similar mechanical components requiring positive shaft location.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 3 mm hex key; ensure the mating shaft has a properly drilled and deburred locating hole to accept the dog point. De-energize or lock out any machinery before servicing set screws in rotating assemblies per applicable OSHA lockout-tagout procedures. Do not over-tighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur; applying an anti-galling compound to the threads before installation is standard practice in the trade.
