10-32 x 1/4 Half Dog Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw is made for fixture, shaft, and collar locations that call for a flat-ended dog-style pilot.
Because the tip is blunt and cylindrical, it can locate in a prepared hole or keyway without the surface penetration associated with cone or cup styles.
This family is suited to industrial mechanical assemblies where a steel half dog point screw is part of the locating method.
Typical review areas for 10-32 x 1/4 include shaft collars, gear hubs, and pulley positioning and conveyor hardware, packaging machinery, and production equipment where the blunt pilot is part of the assembly fit.
Thread arithmetic for 10-32: 32 TPI in the UNF series; compare the 1/4 in. length with tapped depth and pilot reach. Review whether the mating hole, slot, or keyway matches the point style before approving a substitute. Cold Headers assists with exact-size sourcing when the shortened pilot is part of the purchase requirement.
