setscrews
Threaded pressure fasteners
Setscrews are threaded fasteners designed to secure one object within or against another, typically by pressing directly against a surface rather than passing through it.
A setscrew often has no head or a recessed head that sits flush with or below the surface, and it commonly secures a pulley, gear, or collar to a shaft.
Tighten the setscrew to keep the knob from spinning freely.
The term is sometimes written as two words: set screws.
