5/16-24 x 7/8 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert identifies the exact thread and length for an alloy steel oval point set screw with a nylon insert. The nylon insert works in the female thread, adding prevailing torque while the oval point handles surface contact. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.

Packaging equipment and indexing stations may specify the insert when repeated motion would otherwise relax the setting.

Cold Headers focuses on exact-size socket fastener sourcing for production cells, repairs, and plant maintenance programs. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
