Value Collection SS6X06050-025BX M6 Set Screw 50mm Din 916

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X06050-025BX is a metric cup point set screw manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel to Grade A2 specification. It features an M6 x 1.00 mm thread pitch and an overall length of 50 mm, driven by a 3 mm hex key. The cup point tip bites into the mating shaft to resist rotational and axial movement without a protruding head, making it a common choice in shaft collars, pulleys, and mechanical assemblies where flush or recessed fastening is required. This screw conforms to DIN 916 and is suited for installation by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians.

This set screw is appropriate for use in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it suitable for environments with moisture or mild chemical exposure, including food processing equipment, marine hardware, and general industrial machinery. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces per purchase, with each package containing 1 unit as counted. The metric M6 thread standard ensures compatibility with standard metric-tapped holes found in a wide range of manufactured components.

Key Features

• M6 x 1.00 mm metric thread for use with standard metric-tapped bores
• 50 mm overall length provides deep engagement for secure shaft retention
• Cup point geometry bites into shaft surface for strong resistance to axial and rotational movement
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2, for corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments
• Conforms to DIN 916 fastener standard
• 3 mm hex key drive for precise torque application in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 916 metric cup point set screw for use in any application requiring an M6 x 1.00 mm threaded grub screw with a 50 mm overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician using a calibrated 3 mm hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the screw. Power down and de-energize any rotating equipment before servicing shaft collars or couplings. Do not exceed the rated torque range appropriate for M6 Grade A2 stainless fasteners, as over-torquing can cause galling common to stainless steel fasteners; applying anti-galling compound is recommended where applicable.
