Value Collection SS6X08012-100BX Set Screw M8x1.25x12mm Din 916

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X08012-100BX is an M8 x 1.25 x 12 mm cup point set screw manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Austenitic Grade A2, conforming to DIN 916. The cup point geometry bites into the mating shaft surface for reliable holding power without a protruding head, making it well-suited to flush or recessed fastening applications. Drive is a 4 mm internal hex socket. These fasteners are sold in a box of 100 and are used by machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working with metric hardware in corrosion-prone or sanitary environments.

Cup point set screws in this size range are commonly installed in shaft collars, shaft couplings, pulleys, gears, sprockets, and positioning fixtures where a headless fastener is required. The stainless steel construction makes them suitable for food-processing equipment, marine hardware, chemical handling equipment, and outdoor mechanical assemblies where carbon steel would corrode. They are appropriate for both light-duty and moderate-load applications where metric thread engagement and corrosion resistance are priorities. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces.

Key Features

• M8 x 1.25 metric thread with 12 mm overall length for versatile shaft engagement depth
• Cup point geometry provides positive bite into shaft material to resist rotation and axial movement
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2, offers strong corrosion resistance without surface coating
• 4 mm hex key drive for positive torque application in tight spaces
• Manufactured to DIN 916 standard for dimensional consistency and interchangeability
• Boxed quantity of 100 for production or maintenance stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 916 compliant metric set screw for use in any application requiring an M8 x 1.25 thread pitch, headless cup point fastener in stainless steel. Fits any standard M8 x 1.25 tapped hole.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 4 mm hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving. Recommended practice is to apply the correct installation torque per applicable DIN or machinery manufacturer specifications using a calibrated torque tool. Because set screws bear directly on shaft surfaces, verify shaft material compatibility with stainless steel to avoid galling; anti-galling compound may be applied where dissimilar metals are in contact.
