Set Screws

Set screws are threaded fasteners with no external head and are designed to secure an object within or against another. Typically featuring a hex socket, they are tightened using an Allen wrench or similar tool. These screws have a pointed end that penetrates and engages with the surface, ensuring a firm grip. Commonly used in machine components, gears, and pulleys, set screws prevent relative motion between assembled parts. Their design allows for easy adjustments and disassembly. Materials like stainless steel or alloy steel are often employed to enhance durability and corrosion resistance. Set screws play a crucial role in maintaining mechanical stability in various applications.
