Value Collection SS6X02505-050BX Set Screw M2.5 X 0.45

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X02505-050BX is an M2.5 x 0.45 x 5 mm cup point set screw manufactured from Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2). It is a fully threaded, headless fastener driven by a 1.30 mm hex key and conforms to DIN 916 dimensional standards. The cup point geometry bites into the mating shaft to resist axial and rotational movement without requiring a nut or through-hole. Machinists, millwrights, and mechanical assemblers install this fastener in precision sub-assemblies where flush or recessed seating is required and corrosion resistance is a factor.

This set screw is suited for light-duty shaft-to-hub locking applications across a wide range of industries including HVAC equipment, pump assemblies, small motor components, and instrumentation. The metric M2.5 x 0.45 thread pitch is common in compact mechanical assemblies where space constraints prevent the use of larger fasteners. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture or mild chemicals. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Cup point tip creates a positive indent in the mating shaft surface for reliable torque and axial load resistance
• Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) provides corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments
• Hex drive socket (1.30 mm) allows installation in tight clearance locations with a standard hex key or Allen wrench
• Conforms to DIN 916 standard for consistent dimensional tolerances and thread accuracy
• Metric thread M2.5 x 0.45 with 5 mm overall length suits compact precision assemblies
• Fully threaded headless design sits flush or below surface when fully seated

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 916 metric cup point set screw for use in any application requiring an M2.5 x 0.45 thread engagement with a 5 mm overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or mechanical assemblers using a 1.30 mm hex key. Ensure the mating threaded bore is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound if the assembly is subject to vibration. Do not exceed the recommended seating torque for M2.5 stainless fasteners, as over-torquing can gall the stainless threads or shear the screw body.
