Self-tapping screws

Features of self-tapping screws

     Self-tapping screws are special screws with a sharp end or a drill. They are used to connect two materials without the need for pre-drilling holes. One of the features of self-tapping screws is their special thread. This thread helps them cut into the material and extract chips when screwing. This process facilitates installation and ensures a strong connection.

Self-tapping screws for wood

     Self-tapping screws (DIN 7504, DIN 968-C, AN 207, DIN 9065, DIN 7971), designed for use in wood have features that make them effective for this material. They usually have a thread with a large angle, which helps to easily drill into the wood without damaging the fibers. In addition, such self-tapping screws often have a special coating that prevents corrosion and ensures a long service life. Some models have a groove or a milling element, which helps to avoid splitting the tree and ensures a strong connection. In general, self-tapping screws for wood allow you to conveniently and quickly connect parts without the need to pre-drill holes.

Self-tapping screws for metal

     Specialized self-tapping screws are used to fasten sheet metal(AN 206, DIN 7504, DIN 968-C, AN 208, DIN 6928-C, DIN 7982, DIN 7981, DIN7972 etc.). The difference between these self-tapping screws is that they have a finer thread, which allows them to be securely fixed in solid material. Another strong distinguishing feature is the large thickness of the body of the self-tapping screw and the high hardness of the material, which does not allow the product to deform when screwing.

How to choose self-tapping screws?

Several factors should be considered when choosing self-tapping screws.

• Determine the material in which you will use the self-tapping screws, as different types of self-tapping screws are designed for different materials, such as wood, metal or drywall.

How do self-tapping screws differ from screws?

     Self-tapping screws and screws differ in the main elements - thread and coating. Self-tapping screws have a special thread with a sharp end or a drill, which allows them to independently drill a hole and screw into the material. They also often have a coating to prevent corrosion. Screws, on the other hand, have a thread along the entire length of the pin under the head and can be used to connect different materials. While both types of fasteners have their uses, it is important to choose the appropriate type based on the material you are working with and the requirements of your project.
