Value Collection SS6X05010-100BX M5 Set Screw Cup Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X05010-100BX is a metric hex-drive cup point set screw manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2. It carries an M5 x 0.80 thread pitch and an overall length of 10 mm, conforming to DIN 916. The cup point tip bites into the shaft or mating surface to resist rotational and axial movement. The 18-8 stainless composition provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. Drive engagement is through a 2.50 mm hex key socket. This fastener is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces and is used by maintenance technicians, machinists, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors across a wide range of assembly and repair applications.

Cup point set screws in this size range are common in shaft-collar-to-shaft connections, pulley and sprocket retention, adjustable stop assemblies, and light mechanical linkages. The metric M5 thread and DIN 916 standard make this screw a direct fit in European-designed equipment and machinery, as well as metric-threaded components used in HVAC, plumbing, and pool equipment assemblies. Stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for installations where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• M5 x 0.80 metric thread, 10 mm overall length per DIN 916 standard
• Cup point geometry bites into mating surface for positive holding force
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2, for corrosion resistance in wet or chemical environments
• 2.50 mm internal hex drive for standard hex key or Allen wrench installation
• Sold in multiples of 100 pieces per order

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 916 metric cup point set screw for use in any M5 x 0.80 threaded blind hole requiring a headless, flush-mount fastener with a hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 2.50 mm hex key; confirm the key is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the socket. Ensure the mating shaft or surface is clean and free of debris so the cup point achieves full contact. When installing in stainless-to-stainless applications, apply an anti-galling compound to prevent thread seizure. Tighten fasteners to the equipment manufacturer's specified torque value for M5 stainless hardware.
