10-24 x 1/2 Cup Point 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert combines cup-point bite, internal hex drive access, and nylon prevailing torque. The cup point may leave a witness mark depending on shaft material and installation conditions, while the insert works in the threaded engagement. Slight magnetism from cold working can be normal for 18-8 stainless, so verify the material requirement against the actual assembly.
Typical uses include collars and couplings on washdown conveyors, set collars, and shaft-mounted guides, where the set screw must hold position without an external head. For 316 stainless with a nylon insert, treat the requirement as a non-catalog request that Cold Headers can quote.
Nylon inserts are installed in-house at the Cold Headers Chicago facility for supported set-screw configurations. Review the thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and set-screw pellet location before matching the part to a service record or drawing.
