MICROSCREW

A Captive Screw can be locked in place on a parent component without being fastened to a child component - Captive Screws are typically locked in place via thread locking, press-fitting or broaching - Captive Screws help control costs by minimizing damage to machinery from loose screws and by reducing the need for replacement fasteners - Captive Screws allows for easier and more efficient repairs due to quick access to components - Captive Screws prevents damage from loose screws falling into moving parts or electrical circuits as well as the loss of screws - Captive Screws also provide longer durability as they do not cause damage to the application after usage cycles; they are permanent, yet allow access into the application

• Compatible with machine screw threads • Provides a high joint strength • Low loss of preload force under high dynamic and thermal loading • Effortless lead-in with low insertion torque for safe assembly • Excellent self-locking vibration resistance • High stripping torque • Allows for a reduction in installation depth

K-TITE high-performance thread rolling fasteners are specially designed to lower your in-place fastening costs. K-TITE fasteners form internal threads into plain holes in ductile materials upon initial installation, which: • Eliminates the need to pre-tap the nut member • Reduces problems associated with assembling screws and bolts into pre-tapped holes, such as cross-threading

FEATURES AND BENEFITS Enhancement when compared with Polymate30: • The re-designed geometrical flank allows for the optimized movement of plastic material while initiating the fastening procedure. • Under static and dynamic stress, a considerable increase is ensured in the service life of the joint. • At the same nominal diameter, up to 50% gain in torsional and tensile strength. • As there are a larger core and reduction in the thread pitch length, shorter fasteners and/or smaller diameters may be used. • Improved pitch provides added vibrational safety.
