Nickel-plated Hex Socket Set Screws with Cup Point are designed for secure fastening in applications requiring precise alignment and strong holding power. The cup point, a concave indentation at the tip, creates a small contact area that digs into the mating surface, providing excellent grip and resistance to loosening under vibration or torque. The internal hex drive allows for efficient torque application and reduces the risk of stripping, ensuring reliable installation even in high-stress environments. Nickel-plated Hex Socket Set Screws with Cup Point are typically used to secure collars, pulleys, and gears onto shafts, where their ability to maintain position and resist movement is critical. Their combination of a secure cup point and precise hex drive makes them a dependable choice for applications requiring strong, vibration-resistant fastening.
