From standard fasteners to custom designs, we deliver fastening solutions that support long-term performance, efficiency, and structural integrity across industries.
a)DIN 7500 specifies self-tapping screws for metal, also known as thread-forming screws. These screws are designed to form or cut threads in a pre-drilled hole in metal materials, without requiring a pre-cut thread.
b) The screw shank has a three-lobe shape instead of a round cross-section, which reduces friction during installation, and facilitates smooth material displacement and efficient thread formation.
c) The long dog point (the extended, unthreaded tip of the screw) acts as a pilot, helping to align the screw with the pre-drilled hole during installation, and faciliates smooth installation.
d)A standard trilobe thread forming screw without dog point is avaialble upon request.
