Screws for plastics for direct screwing into thermoplastics and duroplastics

Thread rolling screws for direct screwing into plastics (thermoplastics and duroplastics)

New: Screws for thermoplastics available at SHORT TERM (Order quantity > 50,000 PCS)

Direct screwing into high-performance plastics with thread rolling screws saves work steps. However, the hardness and brittleness of the material poses a great challenge for the process-reliable assembly, especially if the screw connection is to be repairable.

Thread rolling screws for plastic are turned into pre-cast holes (tubes) or pre-drilled holes. They automatically roll a thread into the material without forming chips. The displaced material flows into the free space where it remains completely.

The connections are high tensile, highly stressable and durable; loosening (relaxation) is ruled out. The high torsion strength of the OEB screws ensures process-reliable assembly.

  • Screws for thermoplastics: Thread rolling screws for direct screwing into plastics
  • KTG screws for thermoplastics: Single-start or double-start thread (high, low)
  • Storage programme: Thread rolling screws for plastics: OEB-Plast

Thread rolling screws are extruded for larger batch sizes and turned for small batch sizes (Turned parts for direct screwing).

Direct screwing of thermoplastics and duroplastics in the electrical industry, plastic processing industry, telecommunications, etc.

  • High tensile and highly stressable connection of thermoplastics with considerably longer life endurance
  • Thread rolling without chips and loss of material
  • Minimum radial tension, large thread coverage
  • Process-reliable due to torsion strength
  • Shorter and slimmer screws are possible.
  • Other advantages: KTG_Informationen.pdf
