6-32 x 5/16 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is a headless internal-hex fastener for set screw assemblies that need both shaft interlock and thread-level locking action. 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.
Cold Headers can help source hard-to-find cone point nylon-insert set screws while preserving the exact SKU requirement. Review thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and mating-surface marking tolerance before replacing it with another set screw.
