5/16-18 x 1 1960 Series 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw with Nylon Insert gives machine builders a corrosion-resistant socket cap screw with an integral nylon insert. Nylon contact at the thread adds frictional resistance while preserving the standard internal hex drive arrangement.
This size is often reviewed for beverage filling equipment, changeover tooling, and stainless guide assemblies when a stainless cap screw must retain a familiar socket head form. Because 18-8 is not heat-treated for maximum clamp load, compare the 1960 Series Alloy Steel SHCS with Nylon Insert when joint strength is the governing requirement.
Use the exact thread, length, pellet diameter, and pellet location when matching drawings or service records. For non-catalog pellet positions or unusual sizes, in-house pelletizing at the Chicago facility gives Cold Headers added sourcing flexibility.
