Set Screw: #1-72 x 3/16", Cup Point, Alloy Steel, Grade 8 MPN:101031PR

A set screw with a diameter of #1-72, length of 3/16, made of grade 8 alloy steel is designed to secure or hold components together in precision assemblies during high-stress conditions. It has an external thread that engages into the workpiece while the cup point reduces friction allowing the user to tighten or loosen by hand when needed. The fine threads minimize the risk of over-tightening or stripping the mating surfaces while providing exceptional torque capacity. Set screws are widely used in electronics, automotive, aerospace, and general machine building industries where quick adjustments or locking of assemblies during operation is necessary to maintain proper fit and performance. Grade 8 alloy steel ensures resistance to wear, corrosion, and abrasion with excellent tensile strength enabling them to withstand repetitive stress cycles during their service life expectancy. The standard ASME B18.2.1 flat point has parallel sloping sides suitable for low to moderate load applications making it versatile in various assembly scenarios where a secure fit is required.
