Value Collection SS6X05016-050BX Set Screw M5x0.8 Cup Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X05016-050BX is a cup point set screw designed for mechanical assemblies where a secure, flush fastening solution is required. Manufactured from Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2), this fastener delivers solid corrosion resistance for demanding environments. It features a hex drive socket and conforms to DIN 916, the internationally recognized standard for hexagon socket set screws with cup point. The M5 x 0.80 thread pitch and 16 mm overall length make it a common fit for light-duty shaft collars, pulleys, and mechanical linkages across industrial, HVAC, and plumbing equipment assemblies. Installation requires a 2.50 mm hex key.

This set screw is suited for use in residential and commercial mechanical systems wherever a metric M5 fastener is specified. Typical applications include securing rotating components to shafts, locking collars on fan assemblies, and affixing mechanical linkage components in HVAC, plumbing, and light industrial equipment. The cup point geometry bites into the mating surface to resist rotational and axial movement without the need for a through-hole. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it appropriate for bench stock and service van inventory.

Key Features

• M5 x 0.80 metric thread, 16 mm overall length for precise fitment in standard metric applications
• Cup point geometry provides firm grip against shaft or mating surface to resist movement
• Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments
• Hex socket drive (2.50 mm hex key) allows installation in confined or recessed locations
• Conforms to DIN 916 standard for consistent dimensional accuracy and interchangeability
• Sold in minimum quantity of 50 pieces, suitable for stock replenishment and bulk service use

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 916 metric set screw for use in any application requiring an M5 x 0.80 cup point fastener with a 2.50 mm hex drive.

Installation Notes

Set screws are typically installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical contractors using a calibrated hex key or T-handle driver. Always de-energize and lock out any rotating equipment before removing or installing set screws on shaft-mounted components. Do not overtighten, as doing so can deform the cup point or damage softer shaft materials. Inspect the mating shaft surface for existing cup point indentations and align the new screw accordingly to maintain holding force.
