Öncsavaró

Öncsavaró is a Hungarian term that translates to "self-tapping screw" in English. It refers to a type of screw that has a threaded portion designed to cut its own mating thread into the material it is being screwed into. This eliminates the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole in many applications.

The effectiveness of an öncsavaró relies on its sharp tip and the specific thread pitch and cutting edges designed for the material it will penetrate. These screws are commonly made from hardened steel to withstand the stresses of cutting threads. They are used across a wide range of industries, including construction, automotive, and electronics, for joining materials such as wood, plastic, and metal. The self-tapping nature of these screws offers significant advantages in terms of speed and efficiency during assembly processes. Different types of öncsavaró exist, categorized by their thread type, head style, and tip design, allowing for their use in specialized applications and materials.
