5-40 x 1/4 Cup Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is a headless internal-hex fastener for controlled shaft, collar, and hub retention. The internal hex drive keeps installation compact while the pellet adds resistance during installation and removal.
Conveyor drives use locking cup point screws in collars, hubs, and adjustment components that are serviced repeatedly. Confirm thread size, length, hex key size, cup point geometry, pellet diameter, and pellet location before substituting another set screw.
Cold Headers can help quote the requested cup point alloy size without substituting a different point geometry or head style. In-house pellet installation supports exact-size set screw sourcing when the catalog size must include the locking feature. Knurled point alloy socket set screws provide an all-metal ratchet-style grip where a nylon insert is not the desired locking method.
