Thread-forming screws

Secure, vibration-resistant, durable: Thread-forming screws create form-fitting connections when screwed in – without pre-drilling.

Thread-forming screws

Thread-cutting screws

Strong, self-tapping: Thread-cutting screws combine high strength with reliable fastening – directly in the material.

Micro screws individually tailored to your requirements

Do you need micro screws that cannot be found in any standard catalog – because your application has special requirements? Would you like to flexibly combine technical features in a single fastening solution, for example:

  • Smallest diameters from 0.6 mm or adapted thread sizes
  • Individual screw lengths or specifically defined thread lengths
  • Combinations of specific screw head and desired drive
  • Strength classes or materials to measure, e.g. stainless steels such as 1.4401, 1.4404 or 1.4435
  • Other technical properties, processing or documentation requirements

Materials & Standards

Our micro screws are manufactured from a variety of proven materials – tailored to function, stress and intended use. Depending on the requirement, steel, case-hardening and quenched and tempered steels, stainless steels, brass, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals are available. All materials used meet the applicable industry, DIN and customer standards – including requirements from medical technology, electronics and the automotive industry.

The material is selected in close coordination with your technical specifications and is the basis for the design of strength, corrosion behavior and machinability. Of course, we take into account applicable standards, guidelines and industry-specific requirements – for a micromechanical connection solution that is both functional and documentation-proof.

Specifications

Micro screws offer precise solutions for precision mechanical applications – individually manufactured and technically versatile. Whether classic Phillips, TX, combination slot or special security drives, whether common head shapes or end-machined shafts with point, ball or pin – each version is precisely tailored to your requirements. Micro screws are manufactured from a wire diameter of 0.6 mm from a wide range of materials such as case-hardening and quenched and tempered steels, stainless steels, brass, aluminum or other non-ferrous metals. Machining post-processing is also possible.

A wide range of surfaces and coatings are available: from galvanized, nickel-plated, Delta-Tone, Dacromet or Geomet to thread locking and sealing with Tuflok, ScotchGrip, Precote or Loctite – each tailored to VDA standards of the automotive and electrical industries. The spectrum is supplemented by heat treatments such as tempering, case hardening or carbonitriding. For components subject to documentation, EMPB, VDA Band 2 and PPAP evidence are available on request.
