When a maintenance list or drawing calls for a stainless cup point set screw, 5-44 x 3/16 18-8 Stainless Steel Cup Point Socket Set Screw provides a clear product callout for purchasing and replacement work.
It is commonly used in gears, pulleys, and sprockets, where localized contact helps position a component on a shaft. The internal hex drive allows socket-wrench access from the top of the threaded hole, which is useful when surrounding components leave little room for external wrenching.
Review the 5-44 thread, 3/16 in. length, hex socket size, cup point diameter, and mating surface before specifying the item. Confirm that point contact, material, and service conditions fit the application. 18-8 stainless is selected for general corrosion resistance, clean appearance, and ordinary moisture exposure. 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 stainless socket set screws, including uncommon lengths and replacement requirements.
