Schraubenhersteller

Schraubenhersteller are companies that specialize in the production of screws. Screws are fasteners that typically consist of a threaded shaft and a head. They are used to join materials together by being turned into a pre-drilled hole or by creating their own thread. The manufacturing process for screws involves several stages, including wire drawing, heading, thread rolling or cutting, and heat treatment.

The raw material for screws is usually steel, but other metals like stainless steel, brass, and aluminum are also used depending on the application and required properties. Different types of screws exist, each designed for specific purposes and materials. Common examples include wood screws, machine screws, self-tapping screws, and drywall screws. The head of a screw can come in various shapes, such as flat, round, pan, or hex, and the drive type, which accommodates a tool for turning, can be slotted, Phillips, Torx, or hexagonal.

Schraubenhersteller cater to a wide range of industries, including automotive, construction, electronics, furniture manufacturing, and aerospace. The quality and precision of screws are critical for the integrity and safety of the assembled products. Therefore, manufacturers often adhere to strict international standards and certifications. The market for screws is global, with many companies operating on an international scale, supplying both standard and custom-designed fasteners. Technological advancements in manufacturing processes allow for increased efficiency, higher precision, and the production of specialized screws with enhanced properties like corrosion resistance or increased strength.
