5/16-18 x 5/8 Nylon Tip 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Set Screw is selected when a nylon tip is needed to bear on a shaft, stop, or finished component with less marking risk. Nylon is specified when the application needs a softer sacrificial tip instead of direct stainless contact.

Packaging changeover mechanisms use tip screws for stops, guides, and adjustable rails. Internal socket access keeps the screw headless for compact adjustment points.

For maintenance, production, and distributor sourcing, Cold Headers can help verify size and tip data. Check the 5/16-18 x 5/8 thread, threaded length, tip length, tip diameter, mating material, and drive access against the drawing. Cold Headers' Chicago facility helps match unusual nylon tip requirements while preserving published dimensions. Use this tip style for surface contact; use 18-8 Set Screws with Nylon Insert for a self-locking thread element. A 316-body tip set screw should be quoted separately when the drawing calls for that body material.
