Value Collection SS6X05035-025BX M5 Set Screw Din 916 25-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X05035-025BX is a metric cup-point set screw sized M5 x 0.80 x 35 mm, manufactured from Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2). Cup-point set screws are headless fasteners that seat into a mating surface to lock shafts, collars, and similar components in position without protruding hardware. The hex drive socket accepts a 2.50 mm hex key, and the part conforms to DIN 916, the internationally recognized standard for hexagon socket set screws with cup point. These screws are sold in a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces per package. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for use in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working with precision assemblies rely on this fastener type for secure, flush retention.

This set screw is used in mechanical assemblies where a shaft, hub, or collar must be locked to a rotating or fixed member without an exposed head. Common applications include motor shaft collars, gear hubs, set-collar adjustments, and fixture locating work in HVAC equipment, pump assemblies, and general industrial maintenance. The metric M5 x 0.80 thread pitch is standard across a wide range of European and metric-spec equipment. The 35 mm overall length suits deeper engagement applications where a shorter screw would not provide adequate hold. Grade A2 stainless is appropriate for mildly corrosive environments including poolside mechanical equipment and outdoor HVAC installations.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for any mechanical assembly specifying a DIN 916 cup-point set screw in M5 x 0.80 x 35 mm with Grade A2 stainless steel material.

Installation Notes

Set screws of this type are typically installed by maintenance mechanics or tradespeople using a 2.50 mm hex key or hex-key driver bit. Always de-energize and lock out rotating equipment before installing or adjusting set screws on shafts or collars. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving the screw to avoid thread galling, which is a known risk with stainless-to-stainless fastener pairings. Apply an anti-seize compound rated for stainless steel when galling is a concern.
