Grade 5 Titanium Hex Socket Set Screws - Custom Sizes from China Suppliers and Factory for Motorcycles and Bicycles
Key Features
Titanium grub screws resist rust, moisture, and road salt far better than standard steel set screws. The threads remain easier to remove or adjust after long-term outdoor use.
Titanium responds well to repeated engine vibration and road impact. In small locking or adjustment points, these titanium set screws help maintain steady holding force during regular riding.
These titanium grub screws are about 45% lighter than same size steel screws while keeping the strength needed for motorcycle and bicycle assemblies. Less weight, without changing the fastening layout.
Rainbow, blue, gold, black, and polished finishes give visible hardware a lasting metallic look. The anodized surface resists early fading and keeps custom details looking sharper over time.
The hex socket is precision formed for close wrench contact. This reduces tool slip during installation and helps protect both the socket edges and the hex key.
Installation & Maintenance Guidance
Use Anti-Seize on Aluminum Threads. Apply anti-seize when Titanium Grub Screws are installed in aluminum components. This reduces thread galling and makes later adjustment or removal easier.
Use the Correct Hex Key Size. Always match the hex key to the socket size. Worn or incorrect tools can damage small hex sockets during installation.
Match the Screw Point to the Contact Surface. Flat point screws suit smooth contact surfaces and repeated adjustment. Oval or cup point styles may be considered for uneven surfaces or stronger locking needs.

Application Scenarios
Titanium grub screws are used for clutch and brake lever reach adjustment. M4 and selected M7 sizes suit compact motorcycle control assemblies.
Titanium set screws can secure exhaust baffles and DB killers. They are useful where heat, moisture, and corrosion make steel screws difficult to remove.
Used for rearset positioning, shift linkage adjustment, and bar-end mirror locking. These small fastening points need compact screws with steady hold.
Titanium grub screws suit derailleur H/L limit adjustment and handlebar accessory locking. They work well on lightweight bicycle assemblies.
Hex socket set screws are used in EDC tools, optical devices, and compact precision assemblies. They fit internal positioning and hidden locking points.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A: Titanium grub screws offer superior corrosion resistance to rust and road salt, and they are approximately 45% lighter than steel screws while maintaining high strength under vibration.
A: Applying anti-seize prevents thread galling between the titanium screw and the aluminum component. This ensures the threads remain undamaged and makes future adjustments or removal much easier.
A: Flat point screws are best for smooth surfaces and setups requiring frequent adjustments. Oval or cup points are generally preferred for uneven surfaces or where a stronger, more permanent locking force is required.
A: They are available in a variety of durable anodized and polished finishes including Rainbow, Blue, Gold, Black, and Polished options, which help resist fading and wear.
A: They are available in sizes ranging from M3 to M8, with lengths from 3mm to 25mm, following Metric Thread standards such as the DIN 913 / ISO 4026 styles.
A: Yes, OEM customization is supported. You can customize the screw size, length, surface finish, and color to suit specific requirements.
