1/2-13 x 3/8 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert gives engineers a cone point for mechanical interlock and a nylon insert for resistance in the mating thread. 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.
Conveyor drive components may use this family in collars, hubs, and adjustments where compact thread locking is useful. A stainless cone point screw with nylon insert is a non-catalog request Cold Headers can quote when the environment calls for it.
When a bill of material calls out cone point alloy hardware with a nylon insert, Cold Headers keeps the catalog path specific. Review thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and mating-surface marking tolerance before replacing it with another set screw.
