8-36 x 5/16 Knurled Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw is used in mechanical assemblies where the set screw point must engage the mating part without an external head.

The serrated knurled cup point bites the mating surface and helps resist vibration-driven back-out in blind holes, softer materials, collars, hubs, and adjustment locations.

Typical review points for 8-36 x 5/16 include shaft collars, control knobs, and hub-mounted components; it may also fit conveyor hardware, packaging machinery, and compact mechanical controls where a headless set screw keeps the outside of the component clear while point contact provides the holding action.

The 8-36 thread designation identifies a inch-series inch thread with 36 threads per inch, and the 5/16 in. length should be checked against tapped depth, contact location, and drive access.

This style should be reviewed against shaft material, access, adjustment frequency, and the amount of surface marking the assembly can tolerate. Cold Headers can quote this family by exact thread, length, alloy steel material, and knurled point style.
