5/16-18 x 3/8 Cone Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert gives engineers a cone point for mechanical interlock and a nylon insert for resistance in the mating thread. The point geometry is intended for permanent and semi-permanent settings where the shaft surface can be prepared. 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.
OEM assemblies with spotted shafts use cone points to separate the locating function from ordinary clamp screws. The nylon element limits service temperature compared with an all-metal set screw, so review heat exposure before specifying it.
Cold Headers installs nylon locking pellets in-house at its Chicago facility for this cone point set screw family. Cold Headers supports exact-size and hard-to-find cone point nylon-insert sourcing for industrial repair, replacement, and production requirements. Review thread size, length, hex key size, point style, and mating-surface marking tolerance before replacing it with another set screw.
