6-32 x 3/16 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is chosen when an oval point should ride a prepared groove while the nylon insert resists backing out. The rounded oval point can make tangent contact on flat, angled, curved, or grooved mating surfaces. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.
Automation machinery can use these screws in compact collars, guide blocks, stops, and control components. A stainless oval point screw with nylon insert is a non-catalog request Cold Headers can quote for environments that require it.
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.
