Product Overview

Set Screw sourcing essentials

Set screws (also called grub screws) are headless threaded fasteners with a hex-key (or slotted) drive in one end and a working point in the other. They are used to lock collars to shafts, secure pulleys, or apply pressure within an assembly. The point shape (flat, cone, cup, dog) determines the holding mechanism.

Buyer Questions

Frequently asked questions

Which set screw point should I use?

Cup point (DIN 916) is the most common general-purpose — it grips a flat shaft surface and resists rotation. Flat point (DIN 913) is for soft shafts where you don't want to mar the surface, used with a flat machined on the shaft. Cone point (DIN 914) gives the highest holding power but permanently marks the shaft. Dog point (DIN 915) engages a hole in the shaft for positive non-rotational locking.
