Titanium set screws (also called grub screws) are headless screws driven entirely within the threaded hole — no portion protrudes above the mating surface. They secure one object relative to another by pressing their tip against the target part, and have no load-carrying head. The tip profile defines the application: DIN 913 flat point for precision adjustment screws, DIN 914 cone point for permanent shaft locking (conical seat), DIN 915 dog point (half-dog) for locating holes, and DIN 916 cup point for semi-permanent shaft locking (rounded cup creates a shallow detent).

Four DIN standards cover the four tip profiles — specify the point type together with diameter and length. Feinuotai supplies all four variants in Grade 2 CP titanium and Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Metric M1.4–M20 coordinated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which set screw point type should I choose?

DIN 914 cone (90°): Permanent or semi-permanent shaft locking — the conical tip seats in a matching conical hole in the shaft.
DIN 916 cup (rounded): Semi-permanent locking — creates a shallow detent in the shaft (no matching hole needed).
DIN 913 flat: Precision adjustment screws — the flat tip pushes against the mating surface to set position, not to lock rotation.
DIN 915 dog / half-dog: Locating screws — the protruding dog end sits in a drilled hole for positive location.
Specify the point type together with your application.

What is the difference between a set screw and a socket head cap screw?

Set screw (DIN 913–916): headless — sits entirely within the threaded hole. Used to press against another part (shaft, collar, pin) to secure it. No load-carrying head — not for clamping two parts together.
Socket head cap screw (DIN 912): has a head — used to clamp two parts together through a clearance hole. Different function completely. Specify which you need.

How deep should a set screw go?

Set screw engagement depth is typically one to two times the screw diameter into the mating thread, with the tip protruding appropriately (cone point seats in a hole, cup point protrudes slightly, flat point protrudes minimally). The rule of thumb: the screw should be at least as long as the hole depth minus any required tip clearance. Consult your design or specify hole depth when inquiring.
