Socket Set Screws (Grub Screws) — Unbrako Knurled Cup Point

Unbrako Socket Set Screws, commonly known as grub screws, are headless fasteners designed to secure components against or within a shaft using point pressure alone. Available in metric sizes M3 through M20, these set screws feature the distinctive Unbrako knurled cup point that bites into the mating surface with a minimum hardness of HRc 45, creating a permanent impression for superior holding power against rotation and axial movement. The full-body hexagon socket allows flush or below-surface installation, making them ideal for shaft collars, pulleys, gears, and couplings where no external protrusion is permitted. Manufactured from high-carbon alloy steel with controlled heat treatment, Unbrako set screws deliver consistent clamping force across millions of fastening cycles. With five point styles available — knurled cup, flat, cone, dog, and half-dog — engineers can select the optimal point geometry for their application. Shri Narayan Machinery LLP supplies Unbrako set screws in Noida with complete technical guidance.

Applications

The Socket Set Screws is used across a wide range of industrial applications:

  • Shaft collars — locking position on shafts without keyways
  • Pulleys and gears — securing hubs to shafts as primary or secondary locking
  • Couplings — preventing relative rotation between coupling halves and shaft
  • Guide pins and locators — adjustable-length positioning elements in jigs
  • Bearing retention — axial locking of bearing inner races on shafts
  • Handle and knob attachment — concealed fastening without visible heads
  • Motor shaft locking — securing encoders, fans, and coupling hubs
  • Tool holders — clamping cutting tools in lathe turrets and milling spindles
