The ISO 14585 standard defines the technical specifications for pan head screws with a Torx drive. This standard regulates dimensions, manufacturing precision, materials, and other parameters that ensure the high quality and reliability of these fasteners. Screws that meet this standard are widely used in various industries and construction due to their strength, reliability, and ease of installation.
Dimensions of ISO 14585 Screws
The dimensions of ISO 14585 screws are determined by the thread diameter, length, and head type. The thread diameter indicates the thickness of the material that can be fastened with the screw. The screw length determines the depth of penetration into the material. The screw head has a pan shape and is suitable for use with Torx bits, which provides more accurate and powerful driving.
Strength Grade
The strength grade of a screw indicates its ability to withstand certain loads without deformation or failure. The higher the strength grade, the greater the load the screw can withstand. Screws with strength grades of 8.8, 10.9, and 12.9 are most commonly used.
Fastener Group
Pan head screws with Torx drive ISO 14585 belong to the group of threaded connections. They are used to join various materials such as wood, metal, and plastic. The main difference between screws and bolts is that screws do not require a nut to be tightened.
Materials
ISO 14585 screws are made from various materials, each with its own advantages and disadvantages:
- Steel: The most common material due to its high strength and stiffness. Steel screws are usually zinc or phosphate coated to protect against corrosion.
- Stainless steel: Used in aggressive environments where high corrosion resistance is required.
- Brass: Has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, used in electrical engineering and instrumentation.
Application
ISO 14585 screws are widely used in various industries:
- Construction: For fastening drywall, plywood, and wooden structures.
- Furniture industry: For joining furniture parts.
- Automotive industry: For fastening plastic parts.
- Mechanical engineering: For joining thin sheets of metal.
Pan head screws with Torx drive ISO 14585 are a universal fastener that is widely used in various industries. Due to their characteristics, they provide a reliable and strong connection of various materials.
