PT® Thread-forming Screws for Thermoplastics
PT® Thread-FormingWith a high thread profile and recessed thread root, the PT screw provides increased thread engagement with minimal stress on the boss. It provides optimal performance in a wide range of thermoplastics.
Features
- Narrow 30° thread profile
- Optimum thread pitch
- Round body
- Recessed thread root
Benefits - Provides maximum resistance to back-out and pull-out
- Minimizes boss failure
DELTA PT®
Thread forming screws engineered to create optimal material flow during installation, resulting in better clamp loads and increased joint life in a wide range of plastic materials. DELTA PT fasteners are engineered to provide maximum performance in a wide range of thermoplastics. The improved design results in a stronger fastener that creates optimal material flow during installation, providing higher performance, better clamp loads and increased joint life.
Features and Benefits - Flank geometry engineered to provide better material flow during installation combined with high flank engagement
- Larger fastener cross-section increases shear area and fastener strength
- Optimized pitch allows high clamp load with smaller contact pressure
Benefits - Minimizes radial stress
- Offers increased fatigue life
- Optimizes material flow
- Provides increased torsional and tensile strength
- Can achieve higher clamp loads and seating torques
- May permit use of shorter fasteners and/or smaller diameters, if necessary
Design Guidelines - Sizes: DELTA PT 14-70 (1.4mm-7.0mm)
- Head Styles: Can be used with any head design
- Specials: Shoulder screws, sems, double end studs, collar studs
- Drive Systems: TORX PLUS® Drive is recommended to facilitate the proper amount of torque transfer required for forming threads
