SETKO - YOUR SOURCE FOR BRASS
AND NYLON TIP SET SCREWS by Kelly Poholarz
Setko Fasteners continues to increase inventory with
the ever-popular nylon tip and brass tip set screws in both
stainless and alloy, metric or inch sizes. Many sizes are
already in stock. Setko has reduced the delivery process
to as little as 4-6 weeks for any item not in stock.
What are common applications for brass tip or nylon
tip set screws? For example, standard all-metal set
screws with various point styles; cup point, dog points,
or other metal point styles, tend to mar or damage the
mating part. Setko’s brass tips and nylon tips are made
to hold the components in place without damaging or
marring the mating part.
Nylon tips are non-conductive in nature, so they
are often used in electronic devices or to help absorb
vibration in an assembly or shaft. They can help lock
applications in place and protect the finished surface of
the mating part.
Brass tip screws can also lock in tight to the application
and help reduce noise or vibration. They are often used to
locate holes or grooves in machined shafts, etc.
Setko stocks as small as #0-80 up to 1” diameter
(M1.6 to M24). Setko can manufacture custom diameters
and lengths to fit your customer’s application.
