Set Screws

ETTINGER stocks set screws with different profiles for almost every application: Set screws are not only used in the field of mechanical engineering to secure gears or shafts, but also to adjust measuring instruments, among other things. In daily life, set screws are found in door handles, for example.

• Set screws with a flat point: are a flexible option as they can be moved or readjusted at any time after use. Accordingly, they are predominantly used in parts of devices that require subsequent adjustment, whereby the set screw can be repeatedly tightened or loosened as needed. Set screws with a flat point are gentler on the material compared to grub screws with a cup point. Although they don't provide as strong a grip as the cup-point version, they are ideal for assembly work on delicate materials and surfaces that need to be protected from scratches.
• Set screws with a cone point: offer particularly good clamping properties. A taper countersink must be pre-drilled so that the set screw can be inserted. Subsequent adjustment is not possible.
• Set screws with a cup point: do not require a pilot hole (unlike set screws with a cone point) because they cut their own path into the material. Set screws with a cup point are characterized by a secure and tight fit. They are ideal for preventing two attached workpieces from twisting against each other. For a secure connection, worm screws with a cup point should always be screwed completely into a corresponding mating thread.
• Set screws with a dog point: are used in situations where transverse forces will act on the thread, which would otherwise cause the threads to gradually flatten out as the screw is rotated into the groove. Without a dog point, it will no longer be possible to turn the set screw at all after a certain point. When using set screws with dog points, a pre-drilled hole is required into which the worm screw can be driven.
