Value Collection SS5X12016-050BX Set Screw M12 X 1.75

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS5X12016-050BX is a dog point set screw engineered for metric fastening applications requiring secure shaft-to-hub or component-locking connections. This fastener is manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel to Grade A2 specification, providing solid corrosion resistance in environments where carbon steel would be unsuitable. The M12 x 1.75 thread with a 16 mm overall length gives it a reliable footprint for medium-duty mechanical assemblies. Drive is via a 6 mm hex key socket, and the plain finish leaves the base material exposed. This screw conforms to DIN 915, making it a recognized standard for dog point grub screws across industrial and MRO applications.

This set screw is used in mechanical assemblies where a protruding dog point is needed to locate into a mating hole or recess on a shaft, preventing rotational or axial movement without requiring a through-hole. Typical applications include shaft collars, couplings, pulleys, and gear hubs in light to medium industrial machinery. The stainless steel construction makes it a sound choice in wash-down environments, food processing areas, marine applications, and anywhere salt or moisture exposure is a factor. Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians using a standard 6 mm hex key or Allen driver.

Key Features

• Dog point tip engages mating recess on shaft for positive axial and rotational location
• M12 x 1.75 metric thread per DIN 915 standard
• 16 mm overall length suits medium-depth hub and collar applications
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel Grade A2 construction for corrosion resistance
• 6 mm internal hex drive for installation with standard hex key tooling
• Plain finish with no coating — maintains close dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and MRO replacement dog point set screw for any metric M12 x 1.75 threaded application conforming to DIN 915 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a calibrated 6 mm hex key or torque-limiting driver. Ensure the mating shaft recess or dog point hole is properly aligned before tightening to prevent thread galling in stainless steel fasteners — applying an appropriate anti-seize compound is a common field practice. Verify that the tapped hole depth and thread engagement meet design requirements before final assembly. De-energize and lock out all equipment before servicing any rotating or driven components.
