Value Collection SS6X16016-025BX Set Screw M16 X 2 Din 916

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X16016-025BX is a metric cup point set screw designed for mechanical assemblies where a gripping point is needed to secure a shaft, collar, or component in place without a protruding head. Manufactured from Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel in Material Grade A2, this fastener offers corrosion resistance suitable for wet, outdoor, or chemically active environments. The hex drive accepts an 8.00 mm hex key for installation. With an M16 x 2.00 thread and an overall length of 16 mm, it conforms to DIN 916 dimensional standards. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install this type of fastener in a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications.

Cup point set screws are used where the point must bite into or indent a shaft surface to resist rotational and axial movement. Typical applications include shaft collars, shaft couplings, pulleys, gears, and machine tool components. The stainless steel construction makes this screw well suited for food processing equipment, marine hardware, pump assemblies, and other environments where carbon steel fasteners would corrode. It is sold and packaged as a single piece per order.

Key Features

• M16 x 2.00 metric thread with 16 mm overall length per DIN 916 standard
• Cup point geometry bites into shaft surface to resist torque and axial load
• Grade 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Material Grade A2, for corrosion resistance
• Hex socket drive sized at 8.00 mm for standard hex key installation
• Headless design sits fully flush or below the surface of the mating component
• Sold individually, suitable for single-unit replacement or low-quantity maintenance needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or aftermarket replacement set screw for any mechanical assembly requiring a DIN 916 compliant M16 x 2.00 x 16 mm cup point fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist, millwright, or qualified maintenance technician using an 8.00 mm hex key or T-handle driver. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before servicing any shaft or rotating assembly. Thread the set screw in by hand first to confirm thread engagement before applying torque with a hex key, and inspect the mating shaft surface for damage or contamination prior to installation. Do not use impact drivers on set screws, as this can damage the hex socket or over-stress the fastener.
