Value Collection SS6X04012-050BX Set Screw M4x0.70x12mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X04012-050BX is a cup point set screw designed for metric fastening applications across mechanical assemblies, machinery, and equipment maintenance. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2), this fastener delivers reliable corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, and outdoor environments. The M4 x 0.70 thread pitch and 12 mm overall length make it a compact but capable fastener for securing components against shafts, collars, or bores. Drive engagement is via a 2 mm hex key, conforming to DIN 916 standards. Installation requires no exposed fastener head, keeping assemblies flush and low-profile.

This set screw is suited for use in light industrial, HVAC equipment, pump assemblies, and general mechanical applications where a recessed, flush-mount fastener is required. The cup point geometry bites into the mating surface to resist rotational and axial movement. It is a standard choice for shaft collars, set collar assemblies, and positioning fixtures. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces per order; package quantity ships as 1 unit.

Key Features

• Cup point geometry provides positive bite into mating shaft or bore surfaces
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) construction for corrosion resistance
• Conforms to DIN 916 fastener standard for metric hex socket set screws
• M4 x 0.70 metric thread with 12 mm overall length
• 2 mm hex key drive — recessed installation with no protruding head
• Minimum order quantity of 50 ensures job-lot supply for maintenance and repair work

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 916-compliant metric set screw for use in any M4 x 0.70 threaded bore or tapped hole requiring a cup point, hex socket drive fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 2 mm hex key; verify the key is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the socket. Ensure the mating bore is clean and free of debris before threading. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads before installation. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant mechanical codes when used in safety-critical or pressure-bearing assemblies.
