Value Collection SS5X08030-050BX Set Screw M8 X 1.25

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS5X08030-050BX is a metric dog point set screw manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2, conforming to DIN 915. The M8 x 1.25 thread with a 30 mm overall length positions it for medium-duty clamping and positioning applications where corrosion resistance is required. The dog point extends beyond the screw body to locate into a mating hole or slot, providing positive rotational and axial restraint without marring the shaft. Drive is a 4 mm hex key socket. Installed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians across industrial and commercial settings.

This set screw is suited for use in shaft collars, shaft couplings, pulleys, gears, and similar mechanical assemblies where a dog point is specified for positive location. The 18-8 stainless construction makes it appropriate for environments with moderate corrosive exposure, including food-processing equipment, marine-adjacent machinery, and general industrial applications where carbon steel fasteners are not acceptable. The DIN 915 standard governs the dog point geometry and dimensional tolerances.

Key Features

• Dog point geometry provides positive shaft location in a drilled mating hole or slot
• M8 x 1.25 metric thread, 30 mm overall length per DIN 915
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2 for corrosion resistance
• 4 mm hex key drive for standard Allen wrench installation
• Minimum order quantity of 5 units per order

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 915 dog point set screw for any mechanical assembly specifying an M8 x 1.25 metric thread dog point fastener in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a 4 mm hex key or Allen driver. De-energize and lock out all rotating equipment before servicing any shaft or collar assembly. Ensure the mating dog point hole or slot in the shaft is properly sized and deburred before seating the screw. Apply appropriate anti-seize compound when specified, as stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling under high torque without lubrication.
