5/16-24 x 1 1/2 1960 Series 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw with Nylon Insert is a stainless socket cap screw for assemblies that combine cleaning exposure with motion or vibration. 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.
For torque-once joints where a locking pellet is not required, plain 18-8 Socket Head Cap Screws may be the simpler routing. Since 1962, Cold Headers has helped buyers locate specialty socket fasteners for production, repair, and distributor requirements.
