What are Screws？

Set Screws, also known as grub screws, are specialized screws designed to secure the relative positions of machine parts. When utilized, these screws are threaded into the tapped holes of the component to be fixed, with the screw's end firmly pressing against the surface of another component, thus ensuring the component is secured to the second one.

Key Features
Versatile Applications: Set Screws are suitable for various applications, including securing pulleys, gears, and other components on shafts, making them indispensable in machinery, automotive, and aerospace industries.

Material and Finish Options: We offer Set Screws in a range of materials, including stainless steel, alloy steel, and brass. These materials provide desirable corrosion resistance, strength, and durability. Additionally, various finishes are available, such as black oxide, zinc plating, and plain, to meet different environmental and application requirements.

Application Methods
Installation: To install a Set Screw, insert it into the pre-tapped hole of the component to be fixed. Using an appropriate hex key or screwdriver, tighten the screw until the end firmly contacts the surface of the mating component. This action creates a secure hold between the two components.

Adjustment and Removal: Set Screws allow for easy adjustments and removals. Simply loosen the screw to adjust the position of the component or to remove it entirely. This flexibility is crucial for applications requiring frequent adjustments or maintenance.
