1/4-28 x 5/16 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is built for applications where a pointed set screw should center in a prepared spot and stay loaded by pellet friction. For best seating, a shallow drilled dimple can help the point center consistently in the intended position. Use this alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the drawing calls for a mechanical set screw, not a corrosion-focused stainless part.
Common uses include gear and sprocket settings on spotted shafts where rotation control matters after the hub is positioned. Nylon and brass tip set screws protect the shaft surface, while a nylon insert locks the screw in its thread.
For uncommon set screw lengths, Cold Headers can quote the requested configuration without substituting a different point geometry. Review thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and mating-surface marking tolerance before replacing it with another set screw.
