5/16-24 x 1/2 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert gives designers a rounded-contact set screw for shafts, grooves, and seats that may not be perfectly square. Because the rounded point holds less aggressively than a biting point, final selection depends on load, access, and surface condition. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.
Typical uses include adjustment collars that are repositioned between production runs without changing the basic hardware.
This catalog separates oval point locking screws from plain oval point parts so the insert requirement stays visible. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
