When a drawing or maintenance bill calls for a cup point set screw, 6-40 x 1/16 Alloy Steel Cup Point Socket Set Screw identifies the required Alloy Steel thread and length clearly for purchasing.
It is commonly used in conveyors, packaging machinery, and automation equipment, where maintenance teams need repeatable socket-drive installation. The internal hex drive allows socket-wrench access from the top of the threaded hole, which is useful when the surrounding assembly leaves little room for external wrenching.
Review the 6-40 thread, 1/16 in. length, hex socket size, and cup point diameter against the mating part before specifying the item. 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.
