What are the requirements for captive screws?
When it comes to improving industrial production processes, captive screws are increasingly becoming a popular solution. Both simple and durable, captive screws are designed to provide secure, permanent fastening of components that otherwise would have to be held in place by operators. Used in a variety of industrial applications, they are an efficient, cost-effective way to improve production. To understand the full potential of captive screws, it’s important to understand the different requirements for using them.
One of the key requirements for captive screws is that they must be made of compatible materials. This means that the screw and the material it is being screwed into must be able to resist corrosion and wear and tear. Furthermore, the screw must be strong enough to securely hold the item in place. The screw should also be able to handle the load of the item, as well as any vibrations. Finally, the screw should be able to stand up to any environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures, moisture, or UV radiation.
