Types of Set Screw
 

The set screws produced by our company mainly include the following types:

Flat Point Set Screw

With a flat tip, this type evenly distributes pressure at the contact point, making it ideal for repeated use without causing damage.

Cone Point Set Screw

With a pointed tip, this screw is designed to penetrate the surface, making it perfect for permanent attachment.

Dog Point Set Screw

With a cylindrical tip, this type fits perfectly into a matching hole, making it suitable for permanent and semi-permanent applications.

Cup Point Set Screw

With a cup-shaped tip, this screw provides excellent grip while minimizing damage, making it one of the most widely used set screw types.

 

Cup Point Set Screw
Applications of Set Screw

Securing Gears and Pulleys: Set screws affix these parts to rotating shafts to prevent slipping and maintain alignment during operation.

Adjusting Collars on Shafts: Holds collars in place, allowing for precise positioning and easy adjustments on rotating shafts.

Locking Knobs and Handles: Secures knobs or handles onto control shafts to prevent unwanted rotation or loosening during use.

Positioning Components in Electronics: Secures sensitive electronic components, ensuring stability without damaging the area.

Aligning Components in Optical Devices: Holds lenses or mirrors in place for fine adjustments and precise alignment within optical assemblies.

Joining Mechanical Assemblies: Integrates moving parts within machinery, providing a firm hold while remaining recessed.

Fixing Jigs and Fixtures: Secures components within manufacturing setups, offering repeatable positioning and easy adjustments.

 

Set Screws Head-Types
 

Straight Slot

A straight-slotted set screw, as the name suggests, can be used with a flat screw driver to be inserted and removed. Very little torque is required to keep this in place but it mostly finds its use in very simple applications.

Hex Socket

The head of the set screw comes with a hex recess and requires a special hex wrench or Allen key to be used on it. It is often tamper-resistance and can be used with more complex requirements.

Square Socket

A square socket set screw, also known as Robertson or scrulox screw drive, comes with a square protrusion on the tool. The tool as well as the socket come with tapers which makes the installation of the fastener very easy.

External Hex

With the external hex screw drive, a six sided tool or a special wrench with a combination or adjustable point sockets has to be used. This head type is preferred over the square socket in places which has restrictive space surrounding the set screw.

External Square

This requires a four sided adjustable wrench or an open ended wrench to be used on it for any operation.

Bristol Spline

This set screw comes with four or six splines at the head. However, this does not make the fasteners tamper-resistant. The grooves are cut using a square-cornered broach, giving the outer corners of the drivers a slight undercut.

FAQ

 

Q: What is the point of a set screw?

A: Typically, set screws are intended for use in fastening down (setting) parts or components that would otherwise be able to move or slide around relative to one another. The set screw works by passing through a threaded hole in one component and butting up tightly against the surface of a second part on the rear side.

Q: How do I choose a set screw?

A: Cup —The cup has a thin edge that digs into the contact surface for a secure hold on a wide range of surfaces.
Knurl-Grip Cup —Serrations on the cup edge grip the material surface.
Flat —The tip makes good contact on flat surfaces.

Q: What is the best practice for set screws?

A: To tighten new, standard, alloy, cup point set screws, install an allen wrench with the short end in the socket, long end in your hand, and tighten until the wrench bends or twists about 30° (1 hour on a clock face). Then the set screw is as tight as it should be.

Q: Do set screws need a flat?

A: Set screws are not always the best way to resist the torque of driven shafts. To reduce the chance of slipping and to increase load capacity, a detent (often called a "flat") may be milled or ground at the part of the shaft where the set screw's point contacts.

Q: Are set screws necessary?

A: Set screws are not commonly used, as they have a specialist function: Secure one component inside another component. Set screws are ideal for this, as they lack protruding parts that would interfere with the two components' movement, as is necessary for gears on shafts.

Q: What is the difference between a set screw and a regular screw?

A: Set screws typically require specialised tools like wrenches for tightening, emphasising precision. Grub screws require an Allen key to use. Regular screws, with their varied head types, offer flexibility in tool engagement, making them more user-friendly in terms of accessibility.
