1/4-20 x 5/8 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is used when the set screw must bear into a drilled dimple instead of relying only on surface pressure. This double-action layout combines point seating at the shaft with prevailing torque inside the threaded hole. Use this alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the drawing calls for a mechanical set screw, not a corrosion-focused stainless part.
Common uses include gear and sprocket settings on spotted shafts where rotation control matters after the hub is positioned.
Cold Headers helps industrial buyers keep the point style, drive type, and locking feature aligned with the drawing requirement. Review thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and mating-surface marking tolerance before replacing it with another set screw. The internal hex recess also keeps installation access compact when the screw is recessed in a hub or collar.
