Designed for compact set-screw fastening, 5-40 x 3/8 Alloy Steel Cup Point Socket Set Screw combines Alloy Steel construction with a cup-shaped point for localized contact at the mating surface.
Applications often include conveyors, packaging machinery, and automation equipment, where maintenance teams need repeatable socket-drive installation. The internal hex recess gives the installer controlled drive engagement while keeping the fastener profile inside the tapped component.
The verified dimensions below help engineering and purchasing teams compare the screw to the application before ordering. Always confirm that the cup point contact is acceptable for the mating component and service conditions. The point geometry is intended for applications where localized contact is part of the retaining method, not for assemblies that require a nonmarking tip. Cold Headers helps match set screw thread, length, point style, and socket drive details for industrial purchasing and repair work.
