Tektronix permanent magnet screw

What makes Tek® Screws different?

The bit design of Tek® screws is another critical feature that varies depending on the application. The self-drilling tip is a defining characteristic of Tek® screws, allowing them to drill their own hole as they are driven in. The tips can vary in size and shape depending on the material being drilled.

How do Tek® Screws work?

The small carving at the end of their tip, known as a drill bit, enables these screws to cut through various materials without the need for pre-drilling, streamlining the fastening process. It’s important to note that “Tek® screws” refers specifically to a brand of self-drilling screws.

What materials are available for Tek® Screws?

Tek® screws are available in various materials to suit different applications: – Zinc-Plated Steel: The most common type, offering very good rust resistance. – Weather-Guard Coated (STALGARD®): Protects ferrous metals from rust and corrosion better than many conventional finishes.

Can you use Tek Screws on wood?

Standard self-drilling screws, including Tek® screws, are not designed for typical metal-to-wood applications. The drill bit creates a hole that is nearly the same size as the screw’s threaded portion, which prevents the threads from tapping into the wood securely.

What are the two types of magnetic screws (MSS)?

Privacy Policy This paper is an investigation in the performance of two types of magnetic screws (MSs). The first is the magnet to magnet and consists of permanent magnet (PM) nut and PM screw and the second is a magnet to reluctance and consists of PM nut and a double-start reluctance screw.
