Value Collection SS6X06012-100BX M6 Set Screw Din 916

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X06012-100BX is an M6 x 1.00 x 12 mm cup point set screw manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2. Conforming to DIN 916, this headless fastener is driven with a 3 mm hex key and locks into a mating shaft or bore via its cup point, which bites into the workpiece surface to resist rotational and axial movement. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, humid, or mildly chemical environments. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, this part is appropriate for production assembly, MRO restocking, and field replacement applications across mechanical, HVAC, and light industrial settings.

Cup point set screws in this size range are commonly used to secure collars, pulleys, gears, knobs, and similar components to shafts in both residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies. The M6 metric thread and 12 mm overall length make this screw a standard choice wherever DIN 916 compliance is required. Machinists, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades install this fastener type routinely during equipment assembly and repair.

Key Features

• Cup point geometry bites into shaft surface for positive grip against rotation and axial shift
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2 construction resists corrosion in damp or mildly corrosive environments
• Conforms to DIN 916 fastener standard for dimensional consistency
• Internal hex drive requires a 3 mm hex key — no external head to snag or obstruct surrounding hardware
• M6 x 1.00 metric thread with 12 mm overall length suits a wide range of shaft-locking applications

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 916 standard cup point set screw for use in any application calling for an M6 x 1.00 x 12 mm headless hex-drive fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install and tighten using a 3 mm hex key; ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before installation. De-energize or lock out any rotating equipment before inserting or removing set screws per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not exceed the torque rating of the threaded bore material, particularly in softer substrates such as aluminum. Inspect the cup point for deformation before reuse, as a damaged point reduces holding force.
