7/16-20 x 1 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert uses a rounded oval point to reduce marking while the insert adds friction in the mating thread. A shallow prepared groove around the shaft lets the point ride axially while still allowing repositioning. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.
Automation machinery can use these screws in compact collars, guide blocks, stops, and control components.
Cold Headers installs nylon locking pellets in-house at its Chicago facility for this oval point set screw family. The 7/16-20 rows are fine-thread-only in this oval point locking family, so exact thread identification matters. Since 1962, Cold Headers has helped buyers distinguish similar socket set screws by point geometry and locking feature. Check size, socket, pellet dimensions, and seat condition before substitution.
