1/2-13 x 1/2 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert provides smooth point contact for mechanisms where the approach angle changes from one setup to another. The internal hex drive keeps the screw headless and accessible in collars, hubs, handles, and compact control parts. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.
Grooved-shaft assemblies use the oval point to ride the groove while helping retain axial position.
In-house pellet installation supports uncommon oval point nylon-insert requirements when a standard plain screw is not enough. For replacement work, Cold Headers keeps the thread, length, alloy material, rounded point, and insert requirement together. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
