Metric Screws

Metric screws are usually always screws that are equipped with a metric thread. Metric screws always have a cylindrical thread.

Many of you know all kinds of screws and are looking for metric screws. Now, however, the term "metric screw" covers a wide range of screws because it describes a screw shape with a metric thread. Basically one can say that there are two main types of threads that fall under this description. Firstly, there are screws that have a metric thread and these have a standard thread. A standard thread is a standardised type of thread, which is also referred to as a metric thread on a screw shaft. The second important thread type is the wood thread on a screw. A wood thread, as with a Spax screw, means that this thread was designed exclusively for wood screw connections. So we have on the one hand, the metric thread, which is also called machine thread and the wood thread, which alone says that it was designed for the connection of wood. If a metric thread is promised to a screw, it is usually a machine screw. Because this metric thread can under no circumstances be screwed into a wooden element. In order to screw a machine screw into a metric threaded hole, it must always have the same thread structure and diameter in metal as the metric screw. Now the metric screw can also be screwed into a metal threaded hole on a machine. In order to cut such a metric threaded hole into a core hole on a piece of metal, a tap is always required, which must have the same characteristics as the metric screw to be mounted. This includes the diameter, flank size and flank pitch of a metric screw. These metric screws, also known as machine screws, are exclusively for metal connections in mechanical engineering or on solid materials, which must be cut by means of a tap in order to screw the metric screw tightly into it. An inch screw, for example, is the pondon to a metric screw and only describes that this standard is given as the US standard in inches. A metric screw therefore corresponds to a European thread standard, which is specified in mm. As a rule, the material used for metric screws is steel, which can be subjected to increasingly high loads and is provided with a coating, or the stainless steel version. Stainless steel can be used as V2A or V4A in the coating. No subsequent treatment of the stainless steel by coating or similar processes is necessary, because the composition of this chrome nickel steel is so mature that corrosion by means of oxygen and water cannot occur. The stainless steel for metric screws can also be resistant to salt water or alkaline solutions and acids, in which case only the material V4A is used as stainless steel for metric screws or machine screws.

Metric screws have increased in demand over the last half century to such an extent as the common standard thread type that the demand can hardly be met. Metric screws can be used and screwed to almost every conceivable machine part and apparatus as well as assemblies made of metal or other hard materials. Only in softer materials, such as wood or plastic, can wood screws be screwed in exclusively, because the flanks are wider and the pitch is greater. In order to meet the constantly increasing demand for machine screws or metric screws, it is important that there are more and more companies that make the demand available through their online shops and can offer the customers the metric screws in the desired quantity. So we decided some time ago to offer the metric screws via our online shop to our customers from Germany and the rest of Europe at low prices via our shop, so that you can buy the goods quickly and easily. Of course, the purchase of metric screws is only one thing, the more important it is that the topic of security is written in capital letters, so that no data access of your order by third parties is possible. This can only be excluded if the entire purchase process up to the transfer of your order data to our merchandise management system is carried out in an encrypted form. This problem is only possible through the SSL encryption of the entire website. Let us also lose a few words about the ordering process and briefly explain the individual steps that are necessary to make a purchase of your metric screws quick and easy. Now let us assume that you have found us through the search engine with the search term "metric screws". We are very pleased about this and this will lead you to the right category of metric screws. Of course, the term metric screws is only a generic term and so we show you a section of all screws that have a standard thread and you can then go on to the respective category that contains exactly the screws you are looking for. If you have found the right screws, you can put them in the desired quantity in the shopping cart. You can now continue shopping in our online shop or pay for the metric screws and complete the purchase. If you want to complete the purchase and pay for the goods, please create a login in the next point by entering your data such as e-mail and address. Now you can pay your metric screws in the next point in the logged in state by clicking on the button Continue until you see our payment methods. Pay now the commodity and we can work on your order now and dispatch to you.

The manufacture of metric screws

Now we have also arrived at the last section of this article. We have already been able to highlight the importance of metric screws in production today in all areas of the economy in the previous article. As a rule, people cannot really imagine what quantities of metric screws are being used and screwed today, i.e. every day in industry and also increasingly by hobbyists. For this reason, due to the increased demand, the market can also be permanently supplied with metric screws made of stainless steel, i.e. V2A or V4A or the higher-strength steel screws. Nevertheless, we would like to give you some basic data on how such machine-made metric screws can be produced on ultra-modern CNC screw machines. In the past this was all quite different. Purely mechanical machines were used, which differed in that they did not contain a CNC control or any other control that had to run electrically. The control was then a mechanical cam plate control. These letters then took over the production control of the metric screw production. The quality was very good and also the downtimes were manageable. But the production times are very slow with such machines and also the changeover times were extremely long. Nowadays CNC machines are used, which can produce all kinds of metric and inch screws as well as wood screws at a rapid speed and with a very high accuracy. The changeover times are so short and all parameters are stored on a stick which is then loaded into the software of the machine. In the machining centre the stainless steel or steels are then processed into metric screws. Outside is the large drum loader for the endless wire reel frame and a loader for strand material made of stainless steel V2A or V4A or even normal steel. Once the machine is set up, the start button can be pressed. Now the wheels of production start and the wire is drawn into the machine. Now the metric raw stud is cut to the calculated length. Afterwards the head of the screw is upset. In the further production process, the finished head is inserted at the metric screw together with the Torx drive or the hexagon drive or the Phillips drive. Now, as always, only the thread on the shaft of the screw is missing. This position is done quickly by the roller rolling. Two counter-rotating hardened thread rolls turn and the shaft of the screw is now held between the rolls and turned. Now the metric thread is transferred to the screw. When all processes are completed, the metric screws can be stored in our warehouse. If you make a purchase, we can now ship the metric screws, no matter what design, to you.
