1/2-20 x 5/8 combines an alloy steel socket set screw body with a nylon tip for applications where the contact surface matters as much as the thread and length.
Typical uses include robotics joints on finished shafts, compact pivots, and controlled-contact positioning details. Nylon and brass tips serve different jobs: nylon gives the softer touch, while brass provides a firmer metallic face. Nylon is the softer contact choice for delicate finishes and repeated adjustment.
The Chicago tip-installation service lets Cold Headers support both catalog tipped screws and related cap screw tipping work. A nylon insert acts on the thread; a nylon or brass tip acts on the mating surface, so the two product families should not be substituted blindly.
