Solutions for fastening problems

Solving your fastening problems

The success of any assembly depends on a variety of factors. To achieve the best results, it’s essential to consider:

  • The design of the components to be joined
  • The finaly requirements of the application
  • The installation parameters, such as torque and speed
  • Screw performance

Our engineering team have solide experience and extensive knowledge of screw assemblies in industrial settings. This allows us to anticipate potential issues and recommend effective solutions tailored to each situation.

Explore the sections below to learn more about common fastening problems and how to address them:

Assembly line efficiency

TORX PLUS® improves assembly line performance and offers excellent cost saving opportunities, being the best system for automatic and semi-automatic feeding lines.

Screw jamming

When the screw head does seat on the cover material, no clamping force is applied to the assembly. This can be caused by several circumstances.

Stripping off

This problem occurs when the tension generated during tightening is higher than the nut’s shear strength. This can be caused by several circumstances.

Delayed fracture

A delayed fracture takes place when after certain period of time, the screw breaks just at the area were its cover and the base material contact each other.

Cracking in plastic assemblies

Cracking often results from the wrong fastening approach—especially self-tapping screws. Here’s a better solution for stronger, more reliable joints.

Worker fatigue and assembly inefficiency

Traditional fastening methods in manual and semi-automated assemblies can lead to fatigue, slowdowns, and defects. Our ergonomic solutions make assembly easier and faster.
