the screw with polygonal cross-section geometry
Polygonal cross-section geometry
The polygonal cross-section geometry in the thread-forming section of the screw ensures that the female thread is chiplessly formed, so that if a repair is needed it can also accept a conventional threaded screw. In the load-bearing thread area, the screw's shaft takes on a round cross-section, which achieves a better load capacity.
Rounded tip
Besides its improved hole-finding capacity in axis and angle offset situations, the rounded tip also protects product components located inside the installation area, and the risk of injury is reduced both during assembly and in the fitted condition. Overall, it provides significant quality advantages: easy screw placement, low tapping torque, high overload security.
