Square Head Set Screws

Square head set screws have a distinct square-shaped head that allows for easy gripping and adjustment with wrenches, making them ideal for situations where manual adjustments are frequent. These screws are typically used to secure an object within or against another object, such as in machinery, where precise positioning is crucial. The square head provides a larger surface area compared to other screw types to enable better torque and less slippage during installation or adjustment. The point is available in a variety of shapes, including cone, oval, flat, dog, half dog, and cup styles to accommodate different application needs.

Square head set screws are particularly useful for applications that require frequent adjustments or where the screw head needs to be accessible for easy tightening or loosening. These screws are commonly used in mechanical applications, such as securing pulleys, gears, and other machine components. The design of the square head also allows for better leverage and torque control, reducing the risk of stripping the screw during installation or removal. This makes them a reliable choice for maintaining the integrity and performance of industrial machinery and equipment.

This screw’s design allows for precise adjustments because the point does not penetrate the mating component; it presses against it to hold it in place. This makes them suitable for applications where accurate positioning is essential.
