Value Collection SS6X05012-100BX M5 Set Screw Cup Point 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X05012-100BX is a metric cup point set screw manufactured from Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (A2). This fully threaded fastener uses a hex socket drive and conforms to DIN 916, the international standard for hexagon socket set screws with cup point. It is designed to lock shaft-mounted components such as collars, pulleys, gears, and hubs in fixed rotational or axial positions without protruding above the host surface. The cup point geometry bites into the shaft to provide positive retention under vibration and operational load. Thread size is M5 x 0.80, with a 12 mm overall length and a 2.5 mm hex key drive. These fasteners are sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Cup point set screws of this specification are used across a wide range of mechanical and industrial applications including HVAC blower wheel shaft retention, motor shaft collars, pump couplings, and general mechanical assemblies. The stainless steel construction makes this fastener suitable for corrosive or high-humidity environments where carbon steel fasteners would be inappropriate. Typical installers include HVAC technicians, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics working on rotating equipment or component assemblies that require a flush, non-protruding locking fastener.

Key Features

• DIN 916 compliant hex socket cup point set screw for positive shaft retention
• Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (A2) resists corrosion and oxidation
• M5 x 0.80 metric thread for reliable engagement in standard metric tapped holes
• 2.5 mm hex key drive allows installation in confined spaces with standard allen keys
• 12 mm overall length suits a wide range of hub and collar depths
• Sold in a 100-piece minimum order quantity for production or service stock use

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 916 compliant M5 x 0.80 cup point set screw suitable for any standard metric tapped M5 socket set screw application requiring an 18-8 stainless steel fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 2.5 mm hex key or T-handle allen driver. Ensure the tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound if vibration resistance is required beyond the mechanical cup point engagement. Do not exceed the torque rating of the M5 thread class for the host material.
