Set Screw: 1/2-13 x 1", Cup Point, Alloy Steel, Grade 8 MPN:88547534

The set screw is a type of threaded fastener used for positioning and securing components by tightening the screw into the attached component to prevent loosening under vibration, wear, or shock. It comes with a cup point for engaging mating surfaces accurately, ensuring uniform pressure distribution on its threads for better holding strength. Made from alloy steel grade 8 that is heat-treated to achieve high tensile and yield strength along with toughness, this set screw boasts outstanding durability in applications such as machinery parts, electronics equipment, aerospace industries, automotive assemblies, construction fastenings. With its coarse thread, it's suited for heavy-duty assembly requirements that require greater holding power for thick panels, plates or large materials such as wood or metal in structures where vibrations may pose risk to loose fastening joints. Additionally, the cup point shape allows for a smooth grip without marring surfaces while reducing friction torque and ensuring easy installation of screw head slots cutouts without squeezing sidewalls distortion. Its 1/2-13 size gives it excellent compatibility to work alongside common size nuts or bolts used in industries.
