5/16-24 x 7/8 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw identifies the exact thread and length for an alloy steel cone point socket set screw.
This point style is useful where a shaft, collar, stop, or fixture detail is expected to accept a clear indentation from the screw tip.
Use this material identity when the bill of material calls for alloy steel; environmental exposure and surface requirements should still be checked against the application.
Typical review areas for 5/16-24 x 7/8 include compact machinery where external screw heads would interfere and compact machinery where external screw heads would interfere where focused tip engagement is part of the assembly.
The 5/16-24 thread is UNF with 24 TPI, and the 7/8 in. length should be compared with tapped depth and cone-point reach. Check the length against tapped depth and point reach so the cone enters the intended contact area. Cold Headers helps buyers keep small point-geometry differences visible during sourcing.
