Value Collection SS6X12012-050BX Set Screw M12 X 1.75

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X12012-050BX is an M12 x 1.75 x 12 mm cup point set screw manufactured from Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, classified as Grade A2 under metric standards. It is a fully threaded, headless fastener driven by a 6 mm hex key and seated with a cup point that bites into the mating shaft to resist rotation and axial movement. This type of fastener is standard in shaft collars, pulleys, gears, and mechanical assemblies where a low-profile, corrosion-resistant hold is required. Machinists, millwrights, and mechanical contractors install these in both light industrial and commercial equipment applications.

This set screw is suited for metric threaded applications requiring a secure shaft-to-hub connection without a protruding head. The cup point geometry concentrates clamping force into the shaft surface, making it effective on hardened and soft shafts alike. Common installation scenarios include rotating machinery, conveyor components, and machine tool assemblies operating in environments where corrosion resistance is a priority. The metric M12 x 1.75 thread and 12 mm overall length make it a direct fit in applications conforming to DIN 916 dimensional standards.

Key Features

• Cup point geometry provides a firm bite into shaft material to resist axial and rotational movement
• Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel construction offers strong corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments
• Grade A2 classification confirms compliance with metric stainless fastener material standards
• DIN 916 standard ensures dimensional conformance for reliable fitment in metric-threaded components
• Hex socket drive accepts a 6 mm hex key for installation in tight or recessed locations
• Fully threaded, headless design sits flush with or below the surface of the mating part

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 916 compliant cup point set screw for M12 x 1.75 threaded metric applications in mechanical assemblies, shaft collars, hubs, and similar components requiring a headless stainless fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 6 mm hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the receiving threaded bore is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. De-energize or lock out any rotating equipment before installing or removing set screws per applicable machinery safety standards. Avoid overtightening in soft-metal bores, as the cup point can deform threads in low-hardness materials.
