Introduction
Grub screws, also known as set screws, are small, cylindrical fasteners used to securely hold components in place without the need for threads. They are typically used in applications where high precision and resistance to vibration are required. This guide provides comprehensive information on grub screws, including their types, materials, applications, and step-by-step installation instructions.

2. Hex Head Grub Screws
3. Slotted Head Grub Screws
Grub screws have a wide range of applications in various industries, including:
Grub screws play a crucial role in ensuring the proper functioning and reliability of mechanical systems. Their key advantages include:
1. Prepare the Component and Screw: Clean the surfaces of both the component and the grub screw.
2. Apply Lubricant: Apply a small amount of thread locker or lubricant to the threads of the grub screw.
3. Insert Grub Screw: Align the grub screw with the desired position and gently insert it into the tapped hole.
4. Tighten Screw: Use the appropriate driver to carefully tighten the grub screw to the specified torque.
5. Check Alignment: Ensure the component is securely held in place and properly aligned.
