10-32 x 7/8 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw is for locations where a square bearing face presses against a prepared flat instead of biting into the part.
For 10-32 x 7/8, review the flat point around shaft flats, machined seats, and pre-ground contact areas and maintenance repairs, replacement bins, and service drawings. The broad end face suits prepared flats, repeated adjustment, and jobs where unnecessary deformation of the mating component would create service problems.
The 10-32 designation supplies the ordering thread form, and the 7/8 in. length should be checked against tapped depth and bearing location. Confirm that the mating feature is flat enough for the end face to seat evenly before changing the point style. Alloy steel keeps the item aligned with industrial mechanical fastening requirements where the print calls for this material and point style.
The UNF series and 32 threads per inch are derived from the thread designation. The squared-off end presents a full-bearing face, giving the screw a wider contact patch than pointed styles. Cold Headers can quote this flat point family by exact thread, length, alloy steel material, and bearing-face point style.
