Grub Screws

Grub screws, also known as set screws, are small screws that lack a traditional head. They are designed to secure one part to another, typically by fitting into a threaded hole. These screws are commonly used to prevent axial movement or rotation of components such as gears, pulleys, and shafts in machinery. Grub screws are typically tightened using a hex key or wrench and are often found in applications where a low-profile, unobtrusive fastening is needed. They come in various designs, including plain, cup point, and flat point, each offering different types of contact and grip. Grub screws are commonly used in automotive, mechanical, and industrial applications, particularly in assemblies where precision and compactness are essential. They help ensure parts stay in place and work efficiently while minimizing the need for additional fastening hardware.
