Manufactured in natural nylon, this new range from Bülte combines three shapes in one – hex head, star drive and washer.
When compared with metallic screws, natural nylon is light, non-conductive to electricity and has very good thermal properties. The material’s mechanical strength provides good resistance to shocks and will also resist staining.
This triple fastener combination offers several advantages including the combined washer limiting the pressure/tension under the screw head, offering better support and protection for the fastened surface, and better distribution of the load. The star drive also improves tightening torque and is less likely to slip during tightening.
The dimensions available include M4, M5 and M6, as well as lengths from 6mm to 60mm – depending on the diameter. As well as nylon, Bülte also proposes this range in PP, PE, PVDF, and PC on request. These materials also offer higher resistance to diluted acids, greases, oils, alcohol or petrol.
Another option is fibre glass filled nylon, which combines enhanced mechanical performance and long-term durability. It represents the perfect polyamide for pieces that require higher torque and increased shock absorption. The washer faced hex screw with TORX® can be adapted to all applications and can be produced in a large range of colours.
Bülte’s account managers are available for advice from product design to completion. Quotation and free samples are also available on request.
