6-40 x 1 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is intended for shaft locations where the screw must clamp without the deliberate indentation of sharper point styles. This point style is useful when the part may be loosened, slid, and reclamped during changeover or setup. Use the heat-treated alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the application calls for mechanical fastening rather than stainless material.
Machine rebuilds use this family when the service record calls for alloy steel, a flat point, and a nylon insert.
Cold Headers can review non-catalog flat point set screw needs when the application requires a nylon insert. Cold Headers can help identify the correct flat point alloy set screw when the drawing calls out a locking insert. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, shaft-flat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
