5/16-24 x 5/8 Cup Point 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is a headless socket set screw for compact shaft and component retention. The point focuses contact at the work surface, and the pellet creates prevailing torque after the screw is driven into the tapped hole. Use 18-8 stainless where the drawing calls for stainless material in indoor machinery, washdown-adjacent equipment, or humid service.
For sensor brackets, instrument housings, or positioning components, check point contact, threaded engagement, and drive access before installation. Where maximum seating torque is the main driver, the Cup Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert may be the better strength-focused route.
Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962 and helps confirm exact set screw sizes for drawings and repairs. Review the thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and set-screw pellet location before matching the part to a service record or drawing.
