Value Collection SS6X08010-100BX M8 Set Screw Cup Point 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X08010-100BX is an M8 x 1.25 x 10 mm cup point set screw manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel to Grade A2 and conforming to DIN 916. Set screws are headless fasteners used to secure a component — such as a collar, pulley, or gear — against a shaft by biting into the shaft surface with the cup point. The hex socket drive accepts a 4 mm hex key. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial and mechanical assembly applications. This package contains 100 pieces per minimum order quantity.

Cup point set screws in M8 x 1.25 thread size are widely used in mechanical assemblies where a shaft-mounted component must be held in place under moderate torque and axial load. Typical applications include HVAC blower wheel hubs, pump impeller collars, conveyor components, and general mechanical assemblies requiring a metric fastener with moderate bite and repositionability. The cup point leaves a small indentation on the shaft, providing a secure hold while allowing disassembly when needed. These fasteners are installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical assemblers across industrial and commercial settings.

Key Features

• M8 x 1.25 metric thread with 10 mm overall length
• Cup point geometry for moderate shaft engagement and repositionability
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2 for corrosion resistance
• Hex socket drive, 4 mm hex key size, per DIN 916
• Sold in a 100-piece minimum order quantity

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 916 metric cup point set screw suitable for any mechanical assembly requiring an M8 x 1.25 threaded headless fastener with a cup point and hex socket drive.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 4 mm hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the mating shaft and threaded bore are clean and free of debris before installation. De-energize and lock out any rotating equipment before servicing shaft-mounted components. Do not exceed the torque rating of the stainless steel material grade, as 18-8 fasteners are more susceptible to galling than alloy steel — apply an appropriate anti-gall lubricant when needed.
