Product Description :
Socket Cup Point Grub Screws – 12.9 Carbon Steel, Fine Thread (M6–M12)
Secure, vibration-resistant fastening for your machinery, fixtures, and assemblies with these high-strength socket cup point grub screws. Featuring a cup (round) point that bites into the mating part and a socket (hex) head for torque with a hex key/Allen wrench, they deliver a tight, reliable joint without protruding heads .
✅ Key Features
- Grade / Strength: 12.9 — the highest common bolt grade, offering exceptional tensile and yield strength (≈1,220 MPa minimum proof load) for demanding applications .
- Material: High-carbon / alloy steel, heat-treated and quenched to 12.9 specifications .
- Point Style: Socket / Hex drive (internal hex) + Cup (round) point for positive grip in the tapped hole .
- Thread: Fine thread for better hole fill and resistance to loosening under vibration .
- Sizes: M6, M8, M10, M12 (and possibly M4/M5/M14+ — select your option; image shows M6–M12 range).
- Finish: Typically black oxide / salt-bath nitride (dark) for corrosion resistance and low glare — check option .
🔧 Typical Applications
- Locking set screws, handle/knob retainers, and indexing/adjustment screws in machinery and tooling .
- fixtures, jigs, dies, and precision equipment where a flush, tamper-resistant fastener is needed .
- Automotive, motorsport, CNC, 3D printers, robotics, and high-vibration environments .
- Replacement of worn/loose original grub screws on existing assemblies
⚙️ Installation Tips
- Drill and tap the mating part to the correct coarse or fine metric thread (match screw thread type) to the required depth.
- Apply a thread-locking compound (e.g., Loctite) to the threads for extra vibration resistance (recommended for 12.9 grub screws under load).
- Seat the cup point firmly in the hole, then tighten with the correct hex key / Allen wrench to the specified torque (see engineering tables for 12.9 torque values) .
