Hex socket set screws point


FLAT POINT


CONE POINT


CUP POINT


DOG POINT
The cheapest and simplest of the set screw point styles, this screw has a flat surface on the bottom of the screw. This type is used when you need the ability to frequently change parts and require minimal shaft deformation.A cone point is easily identifiable by its sharp cone-shaped point – just like an ice cream cone. Cone point set screws deliver the strongest clamping force due to the deep penetration of the point. As a result they are used for permanent assembly.This is the most commonly used set screw and is identified by a cup-shaped indentation on one end. Cup points are typically used for a quick, semi-permanent or permanent applications where it is acceptable to cut the cup point edge of the screw.Dog point is the smooth, unthreaded tip of a dog point screw, which is a type of fastener used to hold multiple objects together

Hex Socket Set Screws: The Ultimate Solution for Secure Positioning and Adjustment

RAYCHIN is a premier manufacturer of high-performance hex socket set screws and a recognized special alloy fastening solution expert. Hex socket set screws, also known as grub screws or blind screws, are headless fasteners designed with an internal hex drive that allows for flush or recessed installation. These specialized components exert clamping force through their tip, which contacts a mating surface to secure rotating components such as gears, pulleys, collars, and bearings onto shafts. They are essential in power transmission, automotive systems, aerospace actuators, robotics, machine tools, medical devices, and precision instrumentation where reliable positioning, adjustment, and secure holding are critical.

The hex socket drive provides excellent torque transmission in confined spaces, allows for flush installation, and enables precise adjustment. Our hex socket set screws are available in multiple point styles—cup, cone, flat, dog, and oval—each engineered for specific application requirements. We manufacture these precision components from over 25 advanced alloys, ensuring reliable performance in corrosive environments, high-temperature applications, cryogenic conditions, vacuum systems, high-wear assemblies, and biocompatible medical applications.

We maintain strategic raw material inventory across our 25+ alloy portfolio, flexible manufacturing capacity, and robust quality systems to ensure consistent on-time delivery for both prototype quantities (5-100 pieces) and high-volume production runs (100,000+ pieces).

Sustainability Commitment:

We are committed to responsible material sourcing, energy-efficient manufacturing, and waste reduction. Our quality systems include:

  • Conflict minerals compliance (due diligence per OECD guidelines)

  • REACH and RoHS compliance for European markets

  • Environmental management (ISO 14001 principles)

  • Recycling and waste reduction programs

  • Sustainable packaging initiatives
