Set screws are used to prevent relational motion between permanently located parts in electronics, tools & dies, and earth moving & mining machinery. Raptor Supplies offers these set crew sets from brands like Vulcan Hart andITW Bee Leitzke. They are used to fix one component with another, without forming protrusions that could reduce the efficiency of the equipment and interfere with operations.
The terms 'set screws' and 'grub screws' are generally used interchangeably. Set screws are considered grub screws majorly when they are of the blind (headless) variant.
A socket set screw does not have a head. Its entire body is threaded to securely fasten it in place. It may feature a recessed socket for use with special internal wrenching drives, Allen or hex keys, and flat-head & Philips head bits for engaging the head and easily installing or removing. After fastening, these tools exert clamping force to secure the component in place.
Selected set screws like knurled cup set screws or thread locking cup-point set screws can not be adjusted once installed and act as a permanent fixture. If users want to adjust a set screw after installation for correcting loosening or initial positioning, they should select an adjustable set screw types like oval-point, flat-tipped or soft-tipped set screws that can be reused withoout any damage to threading or surface.
These socket set screws adhere to military standards and international standards like ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), DIN (German Institute for Standardisation), ISO (International Organization for Standardisation) & ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) for meeting material quality standards and dimensional requirements.
