Product Description
Set screws are sometimes called setscrews, socket set screws, or grub screws. They are a type of threaded fastener, most often used for securing components in place. This generally means affixing two or more loose parts to one another, for example by holding one component tightly against (or inside) a second surface.
Product Information
- Traditional screws hold components together by their threads. Set screws are threaded from top to bottom, but they work differently.
- They exert compressional force through their tip.
- This is what stops the relative movement between the two components, allowing them to function as designed.
