Introducing DELscrew and DEL standard

Return to the previous place

The DEL standard is the set screws with a total length shorter than the JIS standard (B1117) for a slotted set screws. The DEL standard was originally provided by SAIDA Manufacturing Co. Ltd. Below, we will introduce the background of the establishment of the DEL standard and the Delscrew.

 

A violent earthquake hits the JIS standard for set screws.

In 1988, there was a major change in the JIS standard (B1117) for slotted set screws.
The main changes are as follows.

• The reference dimensions and tolerances for the slotted width have been changed.
• The reference dimensions and tolerances for the slotted depth have been changed.
• With M1, M1.2 and M1.4, the total length of 1.2mm and 1.6mm has disappeared.
• The tolerance of the total length has changed from the one-sided tolerance (0 / -0.2) to the two-sided tolerance (± 0.2).
• The shape of the end face on the slotting side has changed from a rounded shape to a flat shape.
• The R shape at the tip of the oval point set screw has changed from a rounded R shape to a flat R shape.

I think that the aim was to integrate the JIS standard and the ISO standard, but as a result, the old standard and the new standard set screw came to be mixed and distributed in the market. Those who use the set screw that time was confused.

Screw tip shape	slotted set screws
	DEL standard free-cutting steel	DEL standard stainless steel	JIS standard B1117-1995
flat point	M1x1.0-	M1x1.0-	M1x2.0-
cone point	M1x1.0-	M1x1.0-	M1x2.0-
oval point	M1x1.0-	DEL standard none	M1x2.0-
cup point	Custom order		M1.6x2.0-
dog point	Custom order		M1.6x2.5-

According to JIS standard B1117 for slotted set screws, there are five types of screw tips: flat point, cone point, dog point, cup point, and oval point.

However, by the tip shape of the set screw that we ordered, the three types of flat point, cone point, and oval point accounted for 96%.

Status of the set screw ordered by us by tip shape
• flat point set screws   45%
• cone point set screws 35%
• oval point set screws  16%
• cup point set screws    3%
• dog point set screws    1%

 

Want more shorter set screws!

For example, the shortest total length is 2 mm in the JIS standard slotted set screw, but there are times when you want a shorter total length. For the past 50 years or more, SAIDA Manufacturing Co. Ltd. has received orders for various slotted set screws and manufactured them, and we have been able to feel the situation in that area.

We have received many orders for set screws of various shapes and dimensions as shown below.
• Set screws with shapes and dimensions uniquely designed by the end user.
• Various set screws with a total length shorter than the JIS standard.
• Various set screws with an overall length (ex. length 3.5mm) that are not in the JIS standard.
• Set screw with shape and dimensions based on the old JIS standard (B1117 established in 1980).
• Set screw with shape and dimensions based on the new JIS standard (B1117 established in 1988).

According to JIS standards, even thin set screws such as M1, M1.2, M1.4 and M1.6 have the shortest total length of 2 mm. However, as a user, there are many cases where you want to use a set screw with a total length shorter than 2 mm.

In such a case, the user himself draws a drawing of the set screw and places a special order, but there are very few factories around the world that accept such orders.

Even if you are lucky enough to find a factory that can accept your order, it may not always meet the quality, delivery date, and price desired by the user.

 

Birth of DEL standard

Before 2004, there was a mixture of set screws designed by each user, set screws based on old standards, and set screws based on new standards.

Therefore, we decided to standardize the small-diameter set screw independently, and announced it on the Japanese website as DELscrew in July 2004.

Our original DEL standard is a fusion of the old JIS standard (B1117-1980) and the new JIS standard (B1117-1988). The DEL standard includes the total length from 1.0mm to 1.8mm of M1 to M2.5 (M1, M1.2, M1.4, M1.6, M1.7, M2, M2.3, M2.5) . This range is in 0.1 mm increments, and this total length is not included in the JIS standard. This is our DELscrew.

You can check the quality of the set screw with a Free Sample. However, please note that we cannot provide free samples of hexagon socket set screws.

Set screws and special screws that do not meet the Dell standards below are made to order.
• Incomplete total length (3.5 mm, 4.5 mm, etc.) not found in JIS standards
• Long overall length that meets JIS standards but not DEL standards.
• Set screw with a tip shape of "dog point" or "cup point".
• Other specially shaped screws.

The JIS standard includes "Slotted set screws (B1117)" and "Hexagon socket set screws (B1177)" as headless set screws. By the way, the JIS standard for set screws with heads is "Square head set screws (B1118)".

 

Features of DEL standard (Steel)

There are three types of tip shape of the set screw, flat point, cone point, and oval point, which can cover more than 95% of the demand. Therefore, the tip shape of the DEL standard (Steel) is made into these three types.

The nominal screw diameter of the DEL standard (steel) is there are eight types:
M1, M1.2, M1.4, M1.6, M1.7, M2, M2.3, and M2.5.

M1.7 and M2.3 are old JIS standards and are not listed in the current JIS screw standard table, but they are still used in the market, so we added them to the DEL standard (steel).

The material of the steel is 2600S of AKIYAMA SEIKOU, a lead-containing free-cutting steel equivalent to JIS standard SUM24L, and the standard stock is galvanized. Other plating and surface quenching (carburizing and quenching, etc.) are performed at the request of the customer.

Since the material is free-cutting steel (SUM24L), there is not much strength. The strength classification of JIS is 14H.

For the total length of the DEL standard (steel) slotted set screw, refer to the respective dimension list below.
• Flat point set screws (Steel)
• Cone point set screws (Steel)
• Oval point set screws (Steel)

In the DEL standard, the total length listed in the JIS standard has a total length tolerance of + 0 / -0.2 mm or + 0 / -0.3 mm. (Current JIS standard total length tolerance is ± 0.2mm or ± 0.3mm)

For the total length shorter than the JIS standard, the total length tolerance is ± 0.05 mm.

With build-to-order manufacturing, we can also process slotted set screws with a total length of less than 1 mm. (It can be manufactured if there are 2 threads on the outer diameter screw part)

The negative feature of the slotted set screw is that
• At the bottom of the slotted, burrs will arise at the bottom of the slotted with a probability of about half.
• When tightening the screw, the slotted set screw is difficult to turn around the center of the bit.

 

Features of DEL standard (Stainless steel)

There are two types of tip shapes for stainless steel slotted set screws: flat and cone.

The nominal screw diameter of the DEL standard (Stainless steel) is there are eight types:
M1, M1.2, M1.4, M1.6, M1.7, M2, M2.5, and M3.

M1.7 is old JIS standards and are not listed in the current JIS screw standard table, but they are still used in the market, so we added them to the DEL standard (Stainless steel).

The material of the stainless steel is ASK-3000FL of AKIYAMA SEIKOU, a lead-containing free-cutting steel equivalent to JIS standard SUS303. In addition, surface treatment is also applied upon request.

The ordered products is manufactured by ASK-3000S (no lead) of AKIYAMA SEIKOU, which is equivalent to SUS303.

For the total length of the DEL standard (Stainless steel) slotted set screw, refer to the respective dimension list below.
• Flat point set screws (Stainless steel)
• Cone point set screws (Stainless steel)

In the DEL standard, the total length listed in the JIS standard has a total length tolerance of + 0 / -0.2 mm or + 0 / -0.3 mm. (Current JIS standard total length tolerance is ± 0.2mm or ± 0.3mm)

For the total length shorter than the JIS standard, the total length tolerance is ± 0.05 mm.

With build-to-order manufacturing, we can also process slotted set screws with a total length of less than 1 mm. (It can be manufactured if there are 2 threads on the outer diameter screw part)

The hole of small diameter hex socket set screws can all too easily crack when the screw is being tightened. Our hex socket set screws are made of Ni-Cr-Mo Steel (JIS SNCM240). Furthermore, the manufacture is high-precision.

Click here for more information of Ni-Cr-Mo Steel.

Through heat treatment, we have made the hardness to be high on Rockwell Scale C (HRC50 - 53) as well as coferring high durability. The hexagonal hole is as tough as you can handle, and if your hexagonal bar spanner gets stuck during overtightening because the handle snaps (see the diagram below), it can be removed by magnet, because the hexagonal hole of our hex socket set screws does not deform.

For rustproofing, our hex socket set screws are surface treated with a black oxide finish and then dried with a hot air vacuum dryer. These screws will thus be suitable for automated assembly because they need not be oiled; at the very least your assembly workers need not get oily hands.

JIS standard B1177 for hexagon socket set screws has four types of screw tip shapes: Flat Point, Cone Point, Cup Point, and Dog Point. There is no JIS standard for the Oval Point.

The DEL standard has five types of screw tip shapes:Flat Point, Cone Point, Cup Point, CC Point, and Knurled Cup Point.

There is no Dog Point in the DEL standard. Oval Point is on the slotted set screws made of steel.

CC Point and Knurled Cup Point are shapes devised in this industry.

 

CC Point are short for Cup & Cone Point.

The CC Point is as shown in the picture, and the dented tip and the pointed tip are combined, and it bites strongly into the other party.

The sharp part in the center of the CC point protrudes about 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm from the circumference of the dent. Therefore, as you tighten the screws, the pointed part of the tip will bite into the other party before the circumference of the dent.

 

The Knurled Cup Point is hard to loosen after it bites into the opponent.
