FAQs

What is the main difference between a setscrew and a set bolt?

Set screws are typically fully threaded, allowing for maximum thread engagement. Set bolts often have a shank (unthreaded portion) and are designed differently for specific applications like bolting through holes.

What does 'Grade 8.8 HT' mean?

'Grade 8.8' refers to the material's tensile strength, indicating it's a high-tensile fastener suitable for demanding applications. 'HT' typically stands for Heat Treated, a process that enhances its strength.

What does BZP finish provide?

BZP stands for Bright Zinc Plated. This finish provides a sacrificial layer of zinc that protects the underlying steel from rust and corrosion in many common environments.

Can these setscrews be used outdoors?

Yes, the BZP finish offers good corrosion resistance for outdoor use. However, in very damp or coastal environments, they may eventually corrode. For extreme conditions, stainless steel is recommended.

What tools are needed to install these setscrews?

You will need a wrench or socket that fits the hexagonal head. For M10 setscrews, this is typically a 17mm wrench or socket.

Are these screws magnetic?

Yes, as they are made of steel, these setscrews are magnetic.

What is the length of the threaded portion?

These are M10 x 100 setscrews, meaning they are 10mm in diameter and 100mm long. They are fully threaded along their entire length.

Troubleshooting

Setscrew is difficult to thread into the hole.

Ensure the hole is correctly tapped with M10 threading. Check for any debris or damage in the tapped threads of the hole or on the setscrew itself. Verify you are using the correct thread pitch.

Wrench slips on the hexagon head.

Ensure you are using the correct size wrench (typically 17mm for M10 hex heads). Make sure the wrench is fully seated on the head and is not worn out.

Setscrew strips during tightening.

Stop tightening immediately. You may have over-tightened, or the threads in the mating component may be damaged. Attempt to back out the screw if possible. If not, the component may need re-tapping or replacement.

Corrosion is visible on the setscrew.

The BZP finish provides protection, but it is not impervious. For continued use, clean the area and consider applying a suitable anti-corrosion compound or lubricant. For persistent issues, consider using stainless steel fasteners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional tensile strength for demanding applications.
  • Fully threaded design maximizes grip and holding power.
  • BZP finish provides good corrosion resistance.
  • Manufactured to international DIN 933 standards for quality assurance.
  • Easy to install with common tools.

Cons

  • Sold in packs of 25, which may be excessive for small projects.
  • BZP finish may not be suitable for extremely harsh or marine environments.
  • Requires appropriate tools (wrenches) for installation.
  • Specific M10 x 100 size may not fit all applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These setscrews are designed for direct use. Ensure the mating component has a pre-drilled and tapped hole or a nut with M10 threading. Use a compatible wrench (e.g., 17mm hex socket or combination wrench) to tighten the setscrew to the desired torque. Avoid over-tightening, which can strip threads or damage components.

Compatibility:

  • Thread Size: M10 (Metric 10mm diameter).
  • Thread Pitch: Standard metric coarse pitch (typically 1.5mm for M10, refer to DIN 933 specifications for confirmation).
  • Material: Suitable for use with materials that can be tapped or threaded to accept an M10 screw, such as steel, aluminum, and some plastics.
  • Environment: The BZP finish offers good corrosion resistance for indoor and moderately outdoor applications. For highly corrosive environments, consider stainless steel options.

Care:

  • Store in a dry place to maintain the integrity of the BZP finish.
  • Clean with a dry cloth if dust accumulates. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • For long-term outdoor use, periodically check for signs of corrosion and consider applying a light protective coating if necessary.
