Brass Set Screws to DIN / ISO · Jamnagar, India
Hexagon socket grub screw, dog point — machined in brass CW617N to standard and to your drawing.
Home / Products / Standard Parts / Set Screws / DIN 915
A DIN 915 set screw is a headless hexagon-socket grub screw with a dog point — an unthreaded cylindrical pilot tip — that locates into a drilled hole or slot in the mating shaft to set position, prevent rotation or act as a guide pin; it corresponds to ISO 4028. Brassland machines it from free-cutting brass CW617N (CuZn40Pb2) — or lead-free CW724R — to the standard and to your drawing, as part of our brass set-screw programme.

Applications
Typical applications for the DIN 915 dog point set screw include positive location of a component by engaging the dog into a drilled hole, acting as a guide or pilot pin in a slot, keying parts together without thread damage, and adjustable indexing into a machined pocket. All parts are made to order, so length, point detail, plating and certification are tailored to your specification.
