1/4-28 x 5/8 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is a heat-treated alloy steel cone point socket set screw with a nylon insert for thread drag after seating. For best seating, a shallow drilled dimple can help the point center consistently in the intended position. Use this alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the drawing calls for a mechanical set screw, not a corrosion-focused stainless part.
Conveyor drive components may use this family in collars, hubs, and adjustments where compact thread locking is useful. Plain alloy steel is not selected for corrosion resistance, so keep parts oiled or choose a stainless request when the environment requires it.
When a bill of material calls out cone point alloy hardware with a nylon insert, Cold Headers keeps the catalog path specific. Review thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and mating-surface marking tolerance before replacing it with another set screw.
