1/4-20 x 7/16 Flat Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert is specified when friction clamping and thread-level locking are both required in a headless fastener. The internal hex drive keeps the screw headless and accessible in collars, hubs, and compact machine details. Use the heat-treated alloy steel body with the nylon locking pellet where the application calls for mechanical fastening rather than stainless material.
Fixtures that move between production runs may use the flat face to reduce surface damage during repeated clamping.
Cold Headers can review non-catalog flat point set screw needs when the application requires a nylon insert. For replacement work, Cold Headers helps keep thread, length, material story, point style, and insert function aligned. Check thread size, length, socket size, pellet dimensions, shaft-flat condition, and surface-marking tolerance before substitution.
