Value Collection SS6X08008-100BX Set Screw M8x1.25x8mm 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X08008-100BX is an M8 x 1.25 x 8 mm cup point set screw manufactured from Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel to the DIN 916 fastener standard. The cup point tip bites into the mating shaft surface to resist rotation and axial movement without requiring a through-hole or external bolt head. The hex socket drive accepts a 4 mm hex key for installation in confined spaces. These fasteners are well suited for maintenance operations, OEM assembly, and field repair work where corrosion resistance is a priority. They are sold in a box of 100.

Cup point set screws in this size range are commonly used in mechanical assemblies such as shaft collars, pulleys, gears, and sprockets across industrial, HVAC, and mechanical contracting applications. The M8 x 1.25 metric thread pitch and 8 mm overall length fit standard metric bores. The stainless steel construction makes them appropriate for wet environments, outdoor installations, and applications where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• Cup point geometry bites into shaft material to provide firm grip and resist rotation
• Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• DIN 916 standard ensures dimensional consistency and interchangeability
• 4 mm hex socket drive allows installation in tight or recessed locations
• M8 x 1.25 metric thread — standard pitch for M8 fasteners
• Box of 100 units suitable for production assembly or stocking a service van

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 916 metric cup point set screw for use in any M8 x 1.25 threaded bore requiring a headless, flush-mount fastener with a cup point tip.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 4 mm hex key or hex bit driver. Before installing, ensure the threaded bore and shaft are clean and free of debris that could affect seating. Do not exceed the torque rating of the stainless steel alloy, as Grade 18-8 fasteners are susceptible to galling if driven without lubrication — apply an anti-seize compound appropriate for stainless fasteners. Power down or de-energize any rotating equipment before accessing shaft assemblies.
