DIN914 Cone Point Set Screws

When a set screw needs to establish a firm mechanical grip at a specific point, a cone-point design can be a practical choice. DIN914 set screws have a pointed end that concentrates the tightening force onto a relatively small area of the mating component. The resulting contact can help resist rotation and movement without requiring a large clamping surface. The cone point is particularly useful when the mating part can accept a small indentation or has a suitable locating mark, recess, or prepared surface. Once tightened, the point engages with the component rather than simply pressing against it, providing a more positive mechanical connection for many positioning applications.

An internal hexagon drive allows the screw to be recessed within the assembly and tightened with a hex key. DIN 914 is therefore well suited to compact mechanical components where space around the fastening point is limited. We can supply versions in carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel, with different heat-treatment and surface-finish options according to the required application. The main consideration when selecting DIN 914 is the effect of the pointed end on the mating surface. It is a good option when firm engagement is desired and a small contact mark is acceptable. If protecting the surface is more important, a different point configuration such as a flat point may be more appropriate.

Specification:

DIN 914 Cone Point Set Screws can be supplied in carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel, with material, heat treatment, and surface finish selected according to the required holding performance and service environment. The main specifications cover the metric thread, cone point geometry, internal hexagon drive, dimensions, and applicable tolerances. For steel versions, heat-treated options are available where higher hardness and wear resistance are required. Stainless steel versions can be selected for applications where corrosion resistance is a priority.

The cone point provides concentrated contact with the mating component and is intended for applications where firm mechanical engagement is required. The point dimensions and overall geometry are controlled according to the applicable product specification.

Selection Note: A cone-point set screw can leave a small indentation on the mating surface. It is therefore better suited to components where positive mechanical engagement is more important than maintaining an unmarked surface.
