5/16-18 x 2 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw gives maintenance teams a clear item line for cone point set screw replacement work.
This point style is useful where a shaft, collar, stop, or fixture detail is expected to accept a clear indentation from the screw tip.
Use this material identity when the bill of material calls for alloy steel; environmental exposure and surface requirements should still be checked against the application.
Typical review areas for 5/16-18 x 2 include compact machinery where external screw heads would interfere and compact machinery where external screw heads would interfere where focused tip engagement is part of the assembly.
The 5/16-18 thread is UNC with 18 TPI, and the 2 in. length should be compared with tapped depth and cone-point reach. If a dimple or spotted hole is used, confirm that the screw reaches it without bottoming out in the tapped bore. Cold Headers helps buyers keep small point-geometry differences visible during sourcing.
