DIN915 Dog Point Set Screws

DIN 915 Dog Point Set Screws feature a cylindrical, flat-ended locating point designed to engage with a hole, groove, or prepared surface on the mating component. Unlike a cup-point set screw that grips directly against a surface, the dog point is intended to provide more controlled positioning while helping maintain the alignment of the secured component. The extended cylindrical point can engage with a pre-drilled hole, slot, or locating feature, making DIN 915 suitable for applications where the position of a component needs to be established repeatedly or where direct surface marking should be minimized. The internal hexagon drive allows the screw to be installed in compact locations with limited access.

DIN 915 set screws are commonly used for shaft positioning, collars, gears, knobs, machine components, fixtures, and adjustment mechanisms. The main reason to choose a DIN 915 dog point is controlled location rather than simply maximum surface grip. When the mating component has a suitable hole, groove, or locating recess, the cylindrical point can provide a more repeatable connection and help maintain the relative position of the components.

Specification:

DIN 915 Dog Point Set Screws are available in carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel, with different material and surface options for mechanical positioning and fastening applications. The cylindrical dog point is manufactured to provide controlled engagement with a corresponding hole, groove, or locating feature. The thread is produced according to the applicable ISO metric thread system, with 6g external thread tolerance available unless another fit is specified. The dog point should be matched to the diameter and depth of the mating locating hole or groove.
