Value Collection SS6X16035 Set Screw M16x2 35mm Cup Point

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS6X16035 is a cup point set screw designed for metric fastening applications requiring corrosion-resistant hardware. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel conforming to Grade A2, this fastener meets the DIN 916 standard for hexagon socket set screws. The M16 x 2.00 thread pitch and 35 mm overall length make it suitable for medium-to-heavy clamping and locking tasks. Drive engagement is through an 8 mm hex key socket. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians specify this grade when stainless corrosion resistance is required alongside reliable axial clamping force from the cup point tip.

This set screw is used in general industrial, mechanical assembly, and maintenance applications where a metric M16 x 2.00 thread is specified. Common scenarios include shaft-to-hub locking, collar positioning, and component retention on rotating or stationary assemblies. The cup point geometry bites into the mating surface to resist axial and rotational movement without requiring a through-hole. It is appropriate for both light fabrication shops and production environments that call out DIN 916 compliance on drawings or specifications.

Key Features

• M16 x 2.00 metric thread, 35 mm overall length per DIN 916 standard
• Cup point geometry provides positive bite into mating shaft or surface for secure retention
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, Grade A2 — suitable for mildly corrosive environments
• 8 mm hex key drive for installation with standard Allen wrenches or hex bit drivers
• Fully threaded headless profile allows flush or recessed installation in tapped bores

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement metric set screw for any tapped M16 x 2.00 bore requiring a DIN 916 cup point headless fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using an 8 mm hex key or equivalent driver. Ensure the mating bore is clean and the thread is properly chased before installation to avoid galling, which is common with stainless fasteners — apply an anti-seize compound rated for stainless steel if galling is a concern. De-energize and lock out any rotating equipment before installing or removing set screws on live shafts. Verify thread engagement depth meets design requirements before applying final seating torque.
