Anixter Components' nylon screws provide a simple solution to problems of insulation, corrosion, weight-saving and magnetism.
Anixter Components (formally Heyco), has launched a new range of nylon cross-recessed screws manufactured in accordance with DIN34811 and DIN34812.
They are RoHS directive 2002/95/EC compliant.
Nylon screws offer a number of distinct advantages in certain conditions.
They provide a simple solution to problems of insulation, corrosion, weight-saving and magnetism.
The properties of plastic screws make them suitable for use throughout industry and current applications include electronic and electrical equipment, computers, x-ray equipment, business machines, radar, sanitary ware, refrigeration equipment, water processing, and many others.
The screws are available in either countersunk or pan head design, from six to 60m in length and M3 to M6 thread sizes.
For more demanding applications plastic screws can also be manufactured in a wide range of engineering polymers such as Isoplast, Peeko, and Ultem that offer outstanding mechanical strength, thermal stability and chemical resistance.
The new products complement the company's extensive range of plastic and high-performance threaded fasteners, manufactured in over 200 materials, offering designers a wide selection of fastening solutions.
"We are delighted to be able to offer these screws as a part of our extensive range of threaded fasteners", says Andrew Fletcher, Technical Director.
"The introduction means we are now able to offer a complete range of fasteners, from basic screw designs for simple fixing, to those manufactured from high-performance polymers".
"Our fasteners offer a solution for all designers' fastening needs".
