1/4 x 2 1/4 Alloy Steel Socket Head Shoulder Screw (Stripper Bolt) with Nylon Insert places the working diameter in the shoulder and the locking feature in the threaded end for press and fixture service. The shoulder provides the controlled interface, the 10-24 threaded end retains the part, and the socket head keeps installation access available from the top side. That nylon insert helps the screw resist backing out during cyclic shock, vibration, or press operation without implying permanent locking.

Designers often review this size for press tooling, blanking dies, stripper plate screws, and controlled-return hardware where a plain threaded screw would not provide a proper guide or pivot surface. Check the mating hole, die shoe thread, and working clearance before substituting another shoulder diameter or length.

Cold Headers is a Chicago specialty socket fastener distributor focused on exact-size sourcing for industrial replacement needs. Nylon inserts are installed in-house at our Chicago facility. For repair work, verify the shoulder length, working diameter, threaded end, and locking-pellet position against the removed fastener.
