Screw Core Classifications:
Machine Screws: Feature standard mechanical threads and require pre-machined threaded holes. Shanks may be fully or partially threaded, ideal for precision assembly.
Self-Tapping Screws: Drill, tap, and push capabilities eliminate pre-drilled holes. Subcategories:
Ordinary Self-Tapping Screws: Ideal for plastics, wood, and thin metals.
Self-Drilling Self-Tapping Screws: Drill tips penetrate steel, eliminating pre-drilling and boosting efficiency.
Wood Screws: Deep threads, large pitch, sharp teeth suitable for wood, ensuring strong locking force.
Set Screws: Secure relative positions of parts, preventing slippage or rotation. End shapes include:
Tapered End: High locking force, suitable for hard surfaces.
Flat End: Large contact area, non-damaging.
Concave/Cylindrical End: Used for positioning or pressing into shaft holes.
Structural screws: Heat-treated high-strength self-tapping screws replace bolts in steel structures, speeding installation.
