Overview
ISO 1580 is a type of fastener that looks like a regular metal rod with a torque-transmitting head at one end and an external thread at the other end. The advantage of this screw is its versatility - it provides a secure connection with a tight fit of the head. The use of the fastener requires preparing the hole and threading, after which the connection can be made using a standard screwdriver.
Strength class ISO 1580
ISO 1580 screws are made of steel with a strength class of 4.8.
Fastening group ISO 1580
ISO 1580 screws are divided into groups depending on their material of manufacture:
- Stainless steel fasteners
- Brass fasteners
- Polyamide fasteners
Materials for the manufacture of ISO 1580 screws
ISO 1580 screws are made of the following materials:
- Steel with a strength class of 4.8, which can optionally be coated with zinc. Zinc (Plated) protects against corrosion if the fastener is to be used in aggressive environments.
- Stainless steel grades A2 and A4. It allows the fasteners to be used at significant temperature changes and in aggressive and humid environments.
- Brass. Brass screws are used when the system is subjected to frequent dynamic, vibration, and cyclic loads.
- Polyamide. A polyamide screw can withstand mechanical shocks, does not crack or break at the permissible load factor.
Scope of use of ISO 1580 screws
This type of hardware is designed to form a fastening assembly in the form of screwing into a threaded hole or fastening several elements by adding washers and nuts. A standard straight screwdriver or a power tool equipped with the appropriate bits is used to screw hardware.
ISO 1580 is widely used in mechanical engineering, aircraft construction, instrumentation, and furniture manufacturing.
