Value Collection SS6X06016-050BX Set Screw M6 X 1.00

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X06016-050BX is a metric cup point set screw designed for mechanical assemblies where a recessed fastener is required to secure a component to a shaft or surface without a protruding head. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2), it provides reliable corrosion resistance in wet, washdown, or mildly corrosive environments. The M6 x 1.00 thread pitch and 16 mm overall length conform to DIN 916 standards. Installation is performed with a 3 mm hex key. This fastener is commonly installed by machinists, millwrights, and mechanical contractors during equipment assembly, shaft collaring, and mechanical drive setups.

Cup point set screws are used across a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications where a shaft or mating surface must be held firmly in place. The cup point geometry bites into the shaft surface to resist rotational and axial movement, making it a preferred choice for motor shafts, collars, pulleys, sprockets, and similar rotating components. These fasteners are suitable for both light and moderate clamping force applications in trade, industrial, and OEM manufacturing settings.

Key Features

• M6 x 1.00 metric thread conforms to DIN 916 standard for consistent fitment
• Cup point geometry bites into shaft surface to resist rotation and axial movement
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) construction for corrosion resistance
• 16 mm overall length suits a wide range of collar and hub thicknesses
• 3 mm hex key drive for installation in confined or recessed locations
• Sold in minimum order quantities of 50 for production and shop stock use

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 916 compliant metric cup point set screw suitable for use in any application requiring an M6 x 1.00 thread, including motor shaft collars, pulleys, sprockets, couplings, and mechanical hubs.

Installation Notes

Install using a 3 mm hex key; ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving. De-energize and lock out any connected equipment before servicing components secured by set screws. Do not exceed the rated clamping torque for the thread size and material grade. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling during installation — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads when reuse or future removal is required.
