Nylon Tip Set Screws

A nylon tip set screw is a type of set screw with a unique feature: a tip made of nylon or plastic material. The nylon tip replaces the traditional pointed or flat tips found on other set screws. This design is intended for specific fastening applications where a non-marring or soft point of contact is needed. Key characteristics of nylon tip set screws include: Nylon Tip: The defining feature is the tip made of nylon or plastic material, which is softer than metal. This soft tip ensures a non-marring point of contact when the screw is tightened against a surface. Internal Threads: Nylon tip set screws are typically internally threaded and are used with threaded holes or shafts. Materials: The body of the screw is typically made of metal, such as steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel, while the tip is made of nylon or plastic. Nylon tip set screws are commonly used in applications where a gentle and non-damaging point of contact is essential. For instance, they may be used to secure delicate or easily damaged components, align parts without surface damage, or as an alternative to metal set screws in applications where non-marring contact is required. They are valuable in industries such as electronics, optics, and precision machinery.
