Value Collection SS6X12060-025BX Set Screw M12 X 1.75

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X12060-025BX is a metric hex-drive cup point set screw used to lock components onto shafts, rods, or within bores without a protruding head. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel to Grade A2, it resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and outdoor environments. The M12 x 1.75 thread with a 60 mm overall length suits medium-to-heavy-duty clamping applications. The cup point bites into the mating surface to resist rotation and axial movement. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install this fastener as a standard component in mechanical assemblies across industrial and commercial settings.

This set screw is suited for use in shaft collars, shaft couplings, pulleys, gears, and similar mechanical assemblies where a flush or recessed fastener is required. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for food-processing equipment, marine hardware, HVAC mechanical components, pump assemblies, and other environments where carbon steel would corrode. It conforms to DIN 916, making it a direct fit in metric-standard applications across North American and European equipment designs.

Key Features

• M12 x 1.75 metric thread for use in standard DIN 916 hex socket set screw applications
• Cup point geometry bites into mating shaft surfaces to resist axial and rotational movement
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2, provides strong corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• 6 mm hex key drive for installation with standard Allen wrenches or hex-bit drivers
• 60 mm overall length accommodates deep engagement in thick collars or hubs
• DIN 916 standard ensures dimensional interchangeability with metric-spec equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 916 metric hex socket cup point set screw suitable for M12 x 1.75 threaded holes in shaft collars, couplings, pulleys, gears, and similar mechanical assemblies requiring a recessed fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a 6 mm hex key or Allen-head driver. Shut down and lock out all rotating equipment before installing or removing set screws per applicable LOTO procedures. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque on stainless fasteners can cause galling; applying an anti-seize compound to the threads is standard practice when working with stainless steel set screws. Verify thread engagement depth meets the design specification before returning equipment to service.
