What Is a Set Screw?
Many people may not have heard of the set screw. Xinchi Fastener Company has many years of experience in the field of fasteners, we would like to introduce to you what set screws are, as well as their characteristics and applications. In fact, from the point of view of shape and function, the set screw is called a headless screw or tightening screw. It is a screw used to fix the relative position of the machine parts. According to the groove type to classify, set screws can be divided into hexagonal Angle setting screws, internal plum setting screws, slot setting screws, and no slot square head set screws, etc. Optional materials are stainless steel, iron, brass, aluminum, titanium, and so on.
Characteristics of set screws
The set screw has a parallel first-end face and second-end face. A threaded section is provided between the first end face and the second end face, and two parallel groove walls extend radially at the first end face in the direction of the second end face. The groove bottom is connected between the two groove walls, and a radial groove is defined by the groove wall and the groove bottom.
Function and application scenarios of set screws
The stop payment screw plays the same role as the positioning pin, which is generally used to connect two parts and play a fixed role. And the set screw itself can be screwed into the whole, so it appears smooth appearance, more beautiful. When using the stop pay screw, first screw it into the internal thread hole of the part to be fixed, and then press the end of the stop pay screw onto the surface of another part (or the corresponding pit on the surface), so that the relative position of the two parts is fixed. Slotted, internal plum and hexagonal setting screws are not suitable for use where screws are allowed to be exposed, while square head set screws without grooves are suitable for use where screws are allowed to be exposed.
