Efficient fastening technology in focus:
Direct fastening as the key to cost-effectiveness and performance
Highly resilient joining technologies are essential, particularly in demanding industrial applications. At the same time, these high-performance fastening solutions must be aligned with economic considerations. From a holistic perspective, direct fastening is therefore becoming increasingly established, especially in plastic applications.
Unlike conventional metric screw connections, this principle eliminates the need for additional processing steps such as drilling or thread cutting. The use of thread-forming screws significantly reduces process complexity and production time. By eliminating these operations, substantial savings can be achieved – not only in manufacturing but throughout the entire value chain. Furthermore, reduced part diversity, simplified logistics and fewer assembly errors contribute to a more stable and cost-efficient production process.
With the EVO PT® screw, EJOT takes direct fastening in plastics to a new level. Thanks to their high load-bearing capacity, modern engineering plastics are increasingly enabling demanding applications, particularly in the automotive industry, where components are exposed to elevated temperatures and significant mechanical stresses.
The EVO PT® offers outstanding fastening performance combined with exceptionally flexible assembly options. Thanks to its innovative thread forming zone, the EVO PT® provides an almost constant installation torque throughout the entire installation depth. This creates new opportunities for standardization, such as reducing the number of variants or implementing uniform tightening torques despite varying clamped part thicknesses. The result is significantly simplified assembly and improved process reliability.
In addition, EJOT supports the design and optimization of screw joints with powerful digital services such as EVO CALC®. These tools enable reliable prediction of torque values and clamp loads, while also allowing the calculation of relaxation behavior under thermal influence. Furthermore, FEM analyses help identify critical stress points within assemblies at an early stage. As a result, design flaws can be avoided during the early phases of product development, leading to considerable savings in both time and cost.
By combining innovative screw geometry with advanced digital prediction tools, EJOT provides a holistic solution for the design, development and production of direct fastening applications in plastics. As a specialist in thread-forming screws, the company also offers a comprehensive portfolio of fastening solutions for a wide range of materials and industrial applications.
