FASTITE® 2000™ screw

The best cost-effective solution for JOINING THIN METAL SHEET

The increasing demand for weight reduction and cost savings leads to the use of lightweight materials. FASTITE® 2000™ screws solve common fastening problems when joining thin metal sheet, assuring clamping force and stripping resistance whilst offering opportunities for cost reduction.

The unique FASTITE^® 2000^™ thread rolling screws are the best cost-effective solution when joining steel and aluminum thin sheets. It offers a strong mechanical joint with excellent pull-out and vibration loosening resistance. 

FASTITE® 2000™ screws have been specially designed for the assembly into untapped holes in thin aluminium and steel sheets for different markets such as Lighting, Automotive or Industrial equipment.

How does FASTITE^® 2000^™ screw work?

1 Twin-lead helix provides starting stability.

2 Special extruding point increases the thread engagement length during screw insertion.

3 Increased core diameter approaching the underside of the head causes additional forward and backward extrusion to increase thread engagement.

FASTITE^® 2000^™ screw benefits

• Assembly costs reduction by eliminating the thread tapping process when using machine screws and sheet extrusion.
• Optimized thread engagement provide high pull-out and vibration loosening resistance.
• Twin-lead thread increases stripping resistance.
• Clockwise under head serrations increase resistance to stripping.
• TRILOBULAR® thread section provides low threading torque and improves ergonomics.
• The special extruding point ensures an excellent alignment and hole finding, which provides a secure and tight assembly.
• Possibility of piercing thin materials with the optional cut off point
• It is an efficient alternative to high cost elements as threaded inserts and caged nuts.
