Description
A set screw is a type of screw usually used to secure an object within or against another object. The main characteristic of set screws is that they are fully threaded, encompassing an entire shaft with a linear, helical ridge known as a male thread (external thread) or just a thread.
Set screws are most commonly utilized in machine parts, for instance, when one machine part needs to be fixated on a shaft. They are screwed into a threaded hole in the object, providing force to a point on the object to keep it from moving relative to the part containing the set screw.
Here are some key features of a set screw:
They are often headless (aka blind), meaning that the screw is fully threaded and has no head.
They are designed to be adjusted with either a hex or socket wrench.
They exert compressional or axial force on an object to hold it in place.
They come in different types, which generally define the type of end point of the screw. Examples include cup, cone, flat point, dog, and half-dog set screws, where the names describe the shape of the point of the screw.
Remember to handle all hardware tools, including set screws, with care to ensure safety.
