PLASTITE®45°

These thread forming screws combine a unique tri-lobular body with a 45° thread profile to maximize performance and reliability in thermoplastics.
The Plastite® 48 screw combines a unique tri-lobular body with a 48° thread profile to maximize performance and reliability. Two thread-forming styles are available to meet the specific requirements of a wide range of thermoplastics.
The Plastite® 45 screw is designed to facilitate thread-forming in less-compressible plastics while providing high resistance to strip-out and pull-out. It has smaller root and major diameters than a 45° Plastite®, so it can be used in smaller bosses.
    • Features
      Tri-roundular configuration that allows displaced material to cold flow back into releif areas.
      45° profile allows thread to penetrate deeply into plastic material
      Single lead design and narrow helix angle lowers drive torque and failure torque in stiffer plastics
    • Benefits
      Reduces possibility of boss failure
      Increases product reliability
      Eliminates need for inserts and lock washers
      Minimizes radial stress
      Allows design of thinner bosses
      Generates strong mating threads
      Resists vibration loostening
      Reduces probability of strip-out and pull-out
      Achieves wide differentials between drive and fail torque
      Creates less stress on the boss
    • Design Guideliness
      Sizes: #2 – 3/8″; other sizes may be available upon request
      Head Styles: Can be used with any external or internal head designs; pan, hex washer, and flat styles standard
      Drive System: Can use any system, including TORX PLUS® Drive
      Finish: As required
