Often referred to as grub screws, blind screws, or socket set screws, set screws are threaded fasteners that securely fasten two or more parts together. The set screws’ essential pinning action differentiates grub screws from standard general-purpose screws. The compression forces generated by the set screw provide the force necessary to hold the corresponding objects together without needing a nut.
All grub screws are available in alloy steel, steel, or 18-8 stainless steel with a plain or black oxide finish. Drive options include hex, internal hex, and socket to meet the needs of any project. Set screws are available in the following formats to complete your project needs:
What’s the Difference Between Set Screws and Grub Screws?
Set screws are often referred to as the same thing. However, in certain parts of the world, there can be subtle differences in the functionality of the fastener. In the UK, set screws are almost always fully threaded and sometimes have a protruding external hex head. Conversely, set and grub screws within the United States may or may not be fully threaded. If not, they function similarly to traditional bolts but are often used without a nut.
