What is DIN 7500?
What is DIN 7500?
Thread-forming screws according DIN 7500 can be driven into malleable materials without the need for tapping the mating thread. Bossard engineers carry out application testing to assess thread froming screws, sizes M2. 5 to M8, for your specific applications.
What are Taptite screws?
TAPTITE® thread rolling screws roll form threads in plain cored, drilled, or punched holes upon assembly. Creating vibration resistant assemblies, eliminating the need to pre-tap internal threads in ductile materials such as steel, aluminum, zinc, etc., thus lowering the cost of assembly.
What is Trilobular screw?
TAPTITE II® thread-rolling screws have the TRILOBULAR® shape, which reduces friction during thread forming, provides prevailing torque, which exceeds the level of locking screws, and most importantly, inherently provides resistance to vibrational loosening.
Can thread forming screws be reused?
Thread forming screws may be reused up to 20 times, but care must be taken when re-starting screws to avoid cross threading. They are not intended for use in brittle metals such as gray cast iron; however, they can be used in non-ferrous metals and light metals, as well as steel.
Can you put a nut on a self drilling screw?
Self-tapping screws are good for use with metals, various types of plastics (plywood, fiberglass, polycarbonates), and cast or forged material, like iron, aluminum, brass or bronze. Self-tapping screws also work for surfaces where you can’t secure the rear end with a nut.
