DIN 438:1986 Slotted Cup Point Set Screw features a cup point that creates a strong biting action at the contact edge, making it useful for shaft and collar connections that require improved loosening resistance, anti-slip performance, and holding force.
The cup point concentrates clamping force at the contact area, making it suitable for light to medium-duty assemblies exposed to vibration or intermittent impact. The slotted drive is simple and suitable for low-speed assembly, replacement service, and environments without special tools.
This set screw is commonly used on pulleys, handwheels, collars, couplings, locating rings, and general mechanical fixing points. Different hardness levels, materials, and finishes can be selected to improve point wear resistance and corrosion protection.
