When a maintenance list or drawing calls for a 316 stainless cup point set screw, 1/2-13 x 3/16 316 Stainless Steel Cup Point Socket Set Screw provides a clear product callout for purchasing and replacement work.
It is commonly used in process equipment, pulleys, and sprockets, where localized contact helps position a component on a shaft. The internal hex drive allows socket-wrench access from the threaded hole, which is useful when surrounding components leave little room for external wrenching.
Review the 1/2-13 thread, 3/16 in. length, socket size, cup point diameter, mating surface, and exposure before specifying the item. Confirm that point contact, 316 material, and service conditions fit the application. 316 stainless steel is often selected for improved corrosion resistance where moisture, cleaning chemicals, or chloride exposure matter. The cup point creates rim-focused contact that may help resist relative movement when the screw, mating material, and installation conditions are appropriate. Cold Headers supports exact-size sourcing for 316 stainless socket set screws, including uncommon lengths and replacement requirements.
