Overview

EN ISO 7434:2024 – Fasteners – Slotted set screws with cone point specifies the requirements for slotted set screws with a cone point, constructed from steel or stainless steel and provided with metric coarse pitch threads ranging from M1.2 to M12. These fasteners are designed with product grade A, ensuring high performance and quality. This European and international standard, developed by CEN and ISO technical bodies, harmonizes terminology, specifications, and testing methods, facilitating consistent production, quality control, and procurement across the fastener industry.

Key Topics

• Product Scope: Covers slotted set screws with cone point, with or without truncated point (for d ≥ M6).
• Materials: Specifies use of steel and stainless steel options, with further grades and hardness classes selectable via ISO 898-5 (steel) or ISO 3506-3 (stainless steel).
• Thread and Dimension: Metric coarse pitch threads M1,2 to M12, with detailed dimensional guidance and tolerances aligned with ISO 724, ISO 888, ISO 965-1, and ISO 4753.
• Surface Condition and Coatings: Includes requirements for as processed, electroplated, or passivated finishes, referencing ISO 4042 and ISO 10683 for coating specifications.
• Product Grade and Tolerances: All fasteners specified as product grade A, with tolerances governed by ISO 4759-1.
• Marking and Packaging: Outlines provisions for product marking (by agreement), and detailed package labelling including standard reference, size, grade, hardness, surface finish, and manufacturer data.
• Quality and Acceptance: Mandates acceptance inspections aligned with ISO 3269 and surface integrity as per ISO 6157-1.

Applications

Slotted set screws with cone point, as standardized by EN ISO 7434:2024, are widely used in multiple industrial sectors due to their precise locking and positioning capabilities. Primary applications include:

• Mechanical Assemblies: Used to secure rotating components, collars, pulleys, or gears on shafts without permanent deformation.
• Automotive and Machinery: Employed in critical connections where reliable axial and radial retention is essential.
• Electronics and Small Devices: Suitable for assemblies requiring miniature or precision set screws (sizes starting from M1.2).
• Maintenance and Repair: Standardization enables easy replacement and sourcing of compatible components worldwide.

The strict definition of geometry, materials, tolerances, and finishes ensures high reliability, ease of procurement, and interchangeability across varying industrial environments.

Related Standards

Compliance with EN ISO 7434:2024 is reinforced by numerous referenced standards, ensuring a comprehensive approach to fastener quality and performance. Key related documents include:

• ISO 898-5: Mechanical properties for steel set screws and similar fasteners.
• ISO 3506-3: Mechanical properties for stainless steel fasteners.
• ISO 888: Nominal lengths and thread lengths.
• ISO 965-1: Thread tolerances.
• ISO 4759-1: Tolerance classes for fasteners.
• ISO 4042: Electroplated coating systems for fasteners.
• ISO 10683: Non-electrolytically applied zinc flake coatings.
• ISO 6157-1: Surface discontinuities – general requirements.
• ISO 8991: Fastener designation system.
• ISO 8992: General requirements for bolts, screws, studs, and nuts.
• ISO 3269: Acceptance inspection.
• ISO 1891-4: Labelling and lot identification.

Adherence to these standards, alongside EN ISO 7434:2024, guarantees consistent quality, performance, and traceability for fastener products across international markets.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 7434:1983), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— the point angle with tolerance of ±2° has been changed to a reference angle β of 90° or 120°, without
ref
tolerance;
— the values of d for cone point have been added in Table 1;
t
— for M1,6, l = 2 mm has been classified as too short length; the lengths for M2 (l = 3 mm), M3 (l = 4 m
