„Slimming down“ now – with EJOT®!

Industrial fasteners-specialist supports lightweight construction strategies in the plastics area K Fair - Düsseldorf 27.10. - 03.11.2010 Hall 05, Stand C03 The trend subject „lightweight construction“ is one of the central starting points of across business research- and development activities of many companies. That way, for example, lightweight construction concepts will be of crucial importance in the automotive-area for the adherence to future CO2-limit values. Therefore, for future applications of self-tapping fasteners for plastics, the lightweight construction applicability of the used industrial fasteners elements will be of particular importance. Also the EJOT DELTA PT® Screw, for many years the criterion for secure and easy self-tapping for plastics, here underlies, on the lines of the used material, these new demands. |
|
One possibility to support the different lightweight construction concepts of the customers is the DELTA PT® Screw due to its outstanding industrial fastening capability in reducing the used dimensions. In addition to that in many application fields even a reduction of the bolting points can be carried out. These measures in sum contribute non-insignificantly to the weight reduction. If an even higher exploiting of weight reduction-potentials are mentioned in the performance specification of the customer’s product development, a variation in the choice of material of industrial fastener elements can lead to the desired effect. Many dimensions of the DELTA PT® can be manufactured from aluminium instead of steel. |

|
The last evolution level of innovative material use from the point of view of EJOT’s industrial fasteners specialists is the DELTA PT® Screw made of plastic. The industrial fastener elements made of the thermoplastic construction material Grivory HTV-5H1 with 50% fibre glass offers the same industrial fastening security in comparison with screws made of metal but with a much higher potential for weight reduction. Therefore, a plastic screw with similar dimensions is up to 85% lighter than its counterpart made of steel.

|
A predestined implementation example of this novel industrial fastener element in the automotive area is the fastening of an instrument panel. In combination with the slip-on plastic-nut-element EJOT EASYboss® V, a special industrial fastener element for thin walled assemblies and along the lines of the new DELTA PT® Screw performed as a metal replacement product, in this individual case all at this point available weight reduction potentials in the industrial fasteners division can be fully exploited. |

A demonstration of the special lightweight construction applicability of this new EJOT industrial fasteners made of plastic, DELTA PT® and EASYboss® V, will take place at this year’s „K“ from October 27th till November 3rd in Düsseldorf, hall 05, booth C03. |
