Set screw features include a variety of design elements that make them suitable for different applications. Typically, set screws are headless and are used to secure one object inside another. They come in different thread types, such as coarse or fine, and materials, including steel, brass, and nylon, to accommodate various strength and corrosion resistance requirements. Set screws also feature different tip styles, such as cup point, cone point, or flat point, each designed to provide specific holding power and prevent rotation between components. Additionally, they may have a hex socket or other drive type for installation, and some models include a nylon insert to enhance their locking ability.
Set screws are widely used in various applications across different industries due to their ability to hold components in place without the need for a nut. Some common applications include:
Machinery and Equipment: Set screws are used to secure gears, pulleys, and sprockets on shafts, ensuring they do not slip or rotate.
Automotive Industry: They are used in vehicles to secure parts such as steering columns, throttle controls, and other mechanical components.
Aerospace: In aircraft, set screws can be found securing critical components that require precise and reliable fastening.
Furniture and Fixtures: Set screws are used to attach table legs, chair arms, and other furniture parts, providing a clean, hidden fastening solution.
Electronics and Appliances: They are used to secure knobs, dials, and other control elements in electronic devices and household appliances.
Construction and Architecture: Set screws can be used in architectural hardware, such as hinges and door handles, to provide a secure and aesthetically pleasing fastening option.
