FASTITE® 2000™ screw
When to choose FASTITE® 2000™ screw?
The increasing demand for weight reduction and cost savings leads to the use of lightweight materials. FASTITE® 2000™ screws solve common fastening problems when joining thin metal sheet, assuring clamping force and stripping resistance whilst offering opportunities for cost reduction.
FASTITE® 2000™ screws are the best alternative to selftapping screws, rivets and caged nuts. The unique FASTITE® 2000™ thread rolling screws are the best cost-effective solution when joining steel and aluminum thin sheets with untapped holes. It offers a strong mechanical joint with excellent pull-out and vibration loosening resistance.
How does it work?
FASTITE® 2000™ TRILOBULAR® screws have been specially designed for the assembly into untapped holes in thin aluminium and steel sheets.
- Twin-lead helix provides starting stability.
- Special extruding point increases the thread engagement length during screw insertion.
- Increased core diameter approaching the underside of the head causes additional forward and backward extrusion to increase thread engagement.
Benefits
- Eliminates the problem of stripping or loose assemblies with self-tapping screws: unthreaded length below the head is larger than the thickness of the assembly, causing the screw to clip the sheet.
- Assembly costs reduction by eliminating the thread tapping process when using machine screws and sheet extrusion.
- Optimized thread engagement provides high pull-out and vibration loosening resistance.
- Twin-lead thread increases stripping resistance.
- Clockwise under head serrations increase resistance to stripping.
- TRILOBULAR® thread section provides low threading torque and improves ergonomics.
- The special extruding point ensures an excellent alignment and hole finding, which provides a secure and tight assembly.
- Possibility of piercing thin materials with the optional cut off point.
- It is an efficient alternative to high cost elements as threaded inserts and caged nuts.
