1/4-20 x 5/16 combines an alloy steel socket set screw body with a nylon tip for applications where the contact surface matters as much as the thread and length.
Typical uses include robotics joints on finished shafts, compact pivots, and controlled-contact positioning details. The alloy body is the dry-service workhorse choice when the bill of material calls for an alloy socket set screw with a soft face. Nylon is the softer contact choice for delicate finishes and repeated adjustment.
For tipped set screws and related tipped cap screws, Cold Headers' Chicago operation handles the soft-face installation work. The internal socket drive keeps installation compact and leaves no external head projecting from the assembly.
