Anixter Components (formally Heyco), has launched a range of nylon cross-recessed screws manufactured in accordance with DIN34811 and DIN34812, and RoHS compliant. Nylon screws offer a number of distinct advantages in certain conditions. They provide the simple solution to problems of insulation, corrosion, weight-saving and magnetism. The unique properties of plastic screws make them suitable for use throughout industry and current applications include electronic and electrical equipment, computers, x-ray equipment, business machines, radar, sanitary ware, refrigeration equipment, water processing, and many others.
The screws are available in either Countersunk or Pan Head design, from six to 60 mm in length and M3 to M6 thread sizes.
For more demanding applications plastic screws can also be manufactured in a wide range of engineering polymers such as Isoplast, PEEK, and ULTEM that offer outstanding mechanical strength, thermal stability and chemical resistance.
