Value Collection SS6X03012-050BX M3 Set Screw Cup Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X03012-050BX is a metric cup-point set screw used to secure components such as collars, pulleys, and gears onto shafts without a protruding head. Threaded M3 x 0.50 with a 12 mm overall length, it is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel meeting Austenitic Grade A2 standards, providing solid corrosion resistance in mildly harsh environments. The hex drive socket accepts a 1.5 mm hex key for precise torque application in confined spaces. Installed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and equipment assemblers, this fastener is well suited for light mechanical assemblies where a flush, recessed hold-down is required.

This set screw is designed for metric threaded applications in general industrial, HVAC equipment, and mechanical assembly contexts. The cup point digs into the shaft surface to resist rotation and axial movement without requiring additional locking hardware. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces, making this an appropriate choice for production runs, kitting, or stocking maintenance parts bins. It conforms to DIN 916, the international standard governing hexagon socket set screws with cup point geometry.

Key Features

• M3 x 0.50 metric thread with 12 mm overall length for precise fitment in small-bore assemblies
• Cup point geometry bites into shaft material to prevent rotation and axial shift
• 18-8 stainless steel, Austenitic Grade A2 construction for corrosion resistance
• 1.5 mm hex key drive for installation in tight or recessed locations
• Conforms to DIN 916 fastener standard
• Sold in multiples of 50 for production or bulk stocking applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock set screw for any application requiring a DIN 916 M3 x 0.50 hex socket cup-point fastener in 12 mm overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 1.5 mm hex key; confirm the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. De-energize or lock out any rotating equipment before adjusting or replacing set screws per standard lockout/tagout procedure. Avoid over-torquing in stainless-steel threads, as galling can seize the fastener; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound if the application permits. Verify thread engagement depth meets design requirements before returning equipment to service.
