6-40 x 7/16 Knurled Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw is built for assemblies where the serrated knurled cup point must bite into the mating surface rather than simply bear flat.

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 6-40 x 7/16 include hub retention, shaft-mounted accessories, and threaded adjustment locations; it may also fit industrial equipment where the screw installs flush within the tapped component where a headless set screw keeps the outside of the component clear while point contact provides the holding action.

The 6-40 thread designation identifies a inch-series inch thread with 40 threads per inch, and the 7/16 in. length should be checked against tapped depth, contact location, and drive access.

Because the serrations are part of the holding method, the point style should be checked along with thread and length. Cold Headers helps maintenance and purchasing teams identify the requested set screw without turning it into a generic substitute.
