„Slimming down“ now – with EJOT^®!

Industrial Fasteners specialist supports lightweight design strategies in the plastic field

The trend subject ”lightweight design“ is one of the central starting points of cross-business research and development activities of many companies. Intelligent lightweight design concepts will be of crucial importance for the compliance with future CO₂ limits, for example in the automotive area. For that reason special importance will be attached to the lightweight suitability of the used fasteners for future applications in the field of direct assembly into plastics. The EJOT DELTA PT^® Screw, which has been the benchmark for reliable and easy direct assembly into plastics for many years, will also have to meet these new demands.

The Industrial Fastener Experts see the last evolutionary step for innovative material selection in the use of plastic material for the DELTA PT^® Screw. The fastening elements made of the thermoplastic Grivory HTV-5H1 with 50% fibre glass offer the same joint reliability as metal screws, but with a much higher potential for weight reduction. A plastic screw with similar dimensions weights up to 85% less than its counterpart made of steel.
