For shaft retention that needs both a cup point and thread locking, the 8-32 x 7/8 Cup Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert identifies the exact alloy size. The nylon pellet works in the thread path, so it is different from a nylon tip that is intended to contact the shaft surface.

Gearbox and drive adjustments can use this family when a cup point holds position and the nylon insert adds prevailing torque. 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.
