5-40 x 1/4 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is the nylon-insert version of an oval point socket set screw for compact industrial adjustment assemblies. Oval point geometry favors adjustable contact and re-seating rather than maximum bite into the mating part. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.
Packaging equipment and indexing stations may specify the insert when repeated motion would otherwise relax the setting.
Since 1962, Cold Headers has helped buyers distinguish similar socket set screws by point geometry and locking feature. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
