Fasteners for Plastic Joints Thread Forming Screws Screws that deform the base material to form their own threads are called thread forming screws The thread forming screws deform a lot of plastic when they are driven This produces a high resistance to back out but D Design Engineering Guide Document No EES 0041 RELEASE 2014 05 12 creates large 2020 05 26 nbsp 0183 32 It s actually quite simple to find the drilling hole size for metric thread In general counts for holes Thread size M3 216 3 outer screw diameter in mm minus pitch 0 5 mm form M3 equals drill hole size 216 2 5 Report 0 Likes Reply Post Reply Reply Topic Options Subscribe to RSS Feed Mark Topic as New Mark Topic as Read Float this Topic for Current Thread cutting screw have a sharp cutting edge that removes the plastic material Whereas thread forming screws form threads in a pilot hole by deforming and displacing plastic material around screw thread We will keep adding more information on thread cutting and thread forming self tapping screws for plastic Thread Forming Screws for plastic are available in a wide variety of materials finishes amp head drive styles Fastener SuperStore offers more than 1 200 distinct size and style combinations Our generic alternatives for Plastite 174 Brand Screws are offered in 8 head styles 5 drive styles 3 materials and 4 finish options Full size selection Self Tapping Screws Recommended Hole Sizes Due to the variety of the hardness of metals and the different operating conditions it may be found necessary to vary these dimensions which should be used only as a guide TECHNICAL DATA 1 162 CD WELD STUDS FASTENERS FOR SHEET METAL SCREWS FOR PLASTIC ROLLED THREAD MACHINE SCREWS DIN 7500

Screws for plastic – in stock Stocked in a range of diameters thread lengths and a variety of head types Imperial and metric thread forming screws for plastic are available Manufactured in stainless steel and steel and available zinc or black plated with Thread forming screws and thread cutting screws create a tight fit in heavy gauge sheet metal aluminum cast iron and other hard materials Both types are self tapping screws that cut away and remove the surrounding material to create a tapped hole Thread cutting screws have tapered entering threads and multiple cutting edges to dig into the boss tapped hole should start with a hole size that provides 75 to 80 thread engagement A hole that creates a thread engagement of over 100 does not improve performance It will however increase required drive torque because the walls of the hole must expand to make room for the screw If the hole size is fixed you will need to adjust the thread2020 12 31 nbsp 0183 32 We have been leading manufacturing of Thread Forming Screw factory located in Taiwan as a professional manufacturer and exporter with an excellent reputation as well as reliability supplier Our products contain various size etc If you were interested in our goods please feel free to contact us We supply to you in best price quality Our company can offer A trilobular thread forming screw with a machine screw s thread pitch As each lobe of the screw moves through the pilot hole in the nut material it forms and work hardens the nut thread metal producing an uninterrupted grain flow

resistance to high alternating load stresses and ability to easily form threads in deep untapped holes with excellent resistance to vibrational loosening These high durability structural screws are made from alloy steel neutral hardened to individual specifications such as SAE grades 5 or 8 or metric 9 8 and 10 9 Thread forming lead threads are induction hardened for thread – Thread forming screws made from A2 stainless steel can only safely be screwed into light metals In doing this the size of the pilot holes must be 5 larger than the values in the table – No other safety features such as retaining rings are necessary Resistance to vibration is provided by the thread friction – They can be re 173 used 10 to 20 times – For thin sheets the Thread size Metric M2 M2 5 M3 M3 5 M4 M5 M6 M8 L mm 4 0 5 8 5 8 7 2 8 2 9 5 12 7 12 7 K mm 3 7 4 5 4 5 5 3 6 2 6 9 8 5 10 1 Recommended Hole Size mm 0 0 0 1 3 2 4 0 4 0 4 8 5 6 6 4 8 0 9 6 Minimum Wall Thickness mm 1 6 2 0 2 0 2 4 2 8 3 2 4 0 4 8 The Press SertTM is a press in insert designed for post mould installation into thermoplastics The combination of P thread hole sizes Nom Dia Thickness of mating ABS amp PP materials Less than 2 x thread diameter 2 x thread diameter or more 2 0 1 70 1 75 2 3 2 00 2 05 2 5 2 10 2 15 2 6 2 20 2 25 3 0 2 50 2 60 3 5 3 02 3 10 4 0 3 44 20 rows nbsp 0183 32 Design The Plas Fix 45 is a trilobular bodied high performance Metric thread

The three lobed design of PLASTITE 174 screw s takes full advantage of the cold flow characteristics of many plastics by allowing plastic material to recover and fill in between the lobes which establishes maximum resistance to vibrational loosening In addition the screws deep coarsely spaced threads provide a heavier shear area and deeper thread engagement Recommended Extruded Pilot Hole Sizes in Light Gage Steel Extruding holes for fasteners in light gage steel nearly doubles the length of thread engagement over the original material thickness Fasteners develop almost twice the failure torque in extruded holes providing maximum joint integrity Example The chart shows that for a M4 x 0 7 screw inHOLE SIZE 8 PLASTITE 125 1600 900 1700 1800 550 Plastite in Zytel 101 Plastite in Minlon 10B40 40 20 0 250 300 350 400 450 Length of Thread Engagement Inches Strip Torque Pound Inches Torsional Stripping Strength of 8 Plastite 45 125 Hole 500 HOLE SIZE 8 PLASTITE 125 60 550 80 600 PLASTITE 174 174 45 Standards METRIC Screw Minimum Title Recommended Drill amp Hole Size for Type D 1 F amp T 23 Thread Cutting Screws Author Fastener Mart Created Date 8 13 2006 12 49 34 AMKeep in mind very short plastic bosses do not allow for as much thread engagement by the fastener For screws in plastic usually 2 to 2 5 times the nominal screw size is recommended for thread engagement The number of threads engaged in a plastic bosses helps with strength more than what is conventional for a metal fastener in a steel nut
