7/16-20 x 3/4 Oval Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is the nylon-insert version of an oval point socket set screw for compact industrial adjustment assemblies. Use this style where the assembly needs rounded contact and a separate thread-locking feature. Specify the heat-treated alloy steel body with nylon pellet when the print calls for mechanical set screw hardware, not a stainless substitute.

Packaging equipment and indexing stations may specify the insert when repeated motion would otherwise relax the setting.

The 7/16-20 rows are fine-thread-only in this oval point locking family, so exact thread identification matters. Cold Headers can help identify the correct rounded-point alloy set screw when a drawing calls out a nylon insert. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, groove or seat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
