5/8-18 x 1 1/4 Cup Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert gives shaft-mounted parts two forms of holding action: point contact and nylon pellet drag. The nylon pellet works in the thread path, so it is different from a nylon tip that is intended to contact the shaft surface.

Packaging machinery and indexing assemblies can use the nylon insert where a cup point setting should hold through repeated cycling. Confirm thread size, length, hex key size, cup point geometry, pellet diameter, and pellet location before substituting another set screw.

For unusual lengths or deeper alloy sizes, Cold Headers keeps the part defined by thread, length, point style, drive, and locking feature. A nylon tip protects the shaft surface; a nylon insert locks the screw in its thread, so nylon and brass tip set screws solve a different problem.
