5/16-24 x 7/16 Half Dog Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw with Nylon Insert gives machine designers a compact locating set screw where a full dog projection is more engagement than the part needs. Compared with a longer full dog projection, the half dog form can work with a shallower receiving hole and thinner surrounding material.
Automation fixtures may use the half dog point to locate stops, guide blocks, and small brackets without adding a separate dowel. Check mating feature, hex access, screw length, and marking tolerance. This size is a hard-to-find nylon-insert half dog option, so keep the exact thread and length together when requesting a quote.
When a print calls for a locating stub plus nylon thread drag, Cold Headers can quote the matching catalog item by exact size. Review insert dimensions, hex key size, and ASME B18.3 before ordering this alloy steel socket set screw.
