Value Collection SS6X03016-050BX M3 Set Screw Din 916

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X03016-050BX is a metric cup point set screw manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) and conforming to DIN 916. The screw features an M3 x 0.50 thread pitch and a 16 mm overall length. Drive engagement is via a 1.5 mm hex key socket. Cup point set screws are used to lock shaft-mounted components such as collars, gears, and pulleys by biting into the shaft surface when torqued. The 18-8 stainless construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, marine, or chemically exposed environments. Installed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers.

This set screw is suited for light-to-medium duty shaft retention applications across industrial machinery, HVAC equipment, pump assemblies, and general mechanical fabrication. The metric M3 thread size and DIN 916 standard make it appropriate for equipment manufactured to European or metric specifications. The cup point geometry concentrates clamping force at the shaft contact point, resisting rotational slip without requiring a keyway. This item is sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.

Key Features

• Cup point geometry bites into shaft surface for reliable rotational and axial retention
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• M3 x 0.50 metric thread conforms to DIN 916 standard
• 1.5 mm hex key drive for precise torque application in tight spaces
• 16 mm overall length suits moderate-depth shaft engagement requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for metric-threaded assemblies requiring a DIN 916 cup point set screw in M3 x 0.50 x 16 mm sizing.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1.5 mm hex key (Allen wrench). Power down and de-energize any rotating equipment before servicing shaft-mounted components. Ensure the mating threaded bore is clean and free of debris before driving the set screw. Do not exceed the rated seating torque for M3 stainless fasteners, as over-torquing can shear the small hex socket or strip the thread.
