Set Screw OEM Manufacturer
Set screws are a type of blind screw specifically designed to secure collars, pulleys, or gears onto shafts. In contrast to hex bolts, which often encounter resistance due to their heads, set screws offer a more efficient solution. When used without a nut, set screws provide sufficient strength to hold the assembly securely in place, while also ensuring they remain unobstructed and do not interfere with the smooth operation of the mechanism.
Yuhuang is a supplier of high-end fastener customization, providing you with Set Screws in various sizes. No matter what your requirements are, we can provide you with fast delivery service.
