Shaft Set Screw

The Shaft Set Screw is a vital component in mechanical assemblies, designed to secure components onto a shaft. Constructed from high-grade alloy steel or stainless steel, it offers exceptional durability and resistance to wear and corrosion. The set screw features a cylindrical body with a hex socket head for easy installation and removal using standard Allen wrenches.

Typically, these screws come in various sizes and thread pitches to accommodate different shaft diameters and applications. The threads are precision-machined to ensure a tight fit and reliable performance under high torque conditions. The tip of the set screw is often designed with a flat, cone, or cup point, each providing specific advantages for different use cases.

Flat points offer a stable and even contact surface, cone points penetrate the material for a secure hold, and cup points provide high holding power with minimal damage to the shaft. The screws are often treated with black oxide or zinc plating for enhanced corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal.

Ideal for use in applications such as securing pulleys, gears, and collars to shafts, the shaft set screw ensures a robust and dependable connection. Its simple yet effective design makes it a staple in industries ranging from automotive to industrial machinery and beyond.
