Value Collection SS5X12025-050BX M12 Dog Point Set Screw 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS5X12025-050BX is an M12 x 1.75 x 25 mm dog point set screw manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel to Grade A2. The dog point extends beyond the thread to locate into a mating hole or groove, providing positive positioning and resistance to rotational or axial slippage. Drive is a 6 mm internal hex (Allen key). The plain finish leaves the stainless surface untreated, relying on the alloy for corrosion resistance. This screw meets DIN 915 dimensional and material standards. It is sized and specified for mechanical assemblies, shaft collars, and positioning fixtures where precise location and corrosion resistance are required.

This set screw is used in industrial, mechanical, and trade applications wherever a dog point is needed to positively seat into a locating hole on a shaft or collar. Typical installations include shaft-to-hub assemblies, clamping collars, jig fixtures, and machine components in environments where moisture or chemical exposure makes stainless steel the preferred material over plated carbon steel alternatives. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 2.

Key Features

• 6 mm hex drive compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Meets DIN 915 fastener standard for dimensional consistency
• Plain finish retains full stainless alloy surface properties
• Metric thread M12 x 1.75 with 25 mm overall length

Compatibility

Designed for use in any M12 x 1.75 threaded set screw application requiring a dog point per DIN 915; verify thread engagement depth and dog point diameter against the mating component before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 6 mm hex key or driver. Ensure the mating shaft or collar hole is sized to accept the dog point before driving the screw to prevent thread galling on the stainless steel threads. Apply appropriate anti-galling lubricant or thread compound when installing stainless fasteners into stainless or steel tapped holes to reduce the risk of thread seizure. Confirm required torque using the applicable fastener specification or engineering reference for Grade A2 stainless M12 set screws.
