EJOT ALtracs® Plus screws are thread-forming fasteners developed for maximum strength values in light alloy assemblies and other non-ferrous metals such as zinc, copper or brass. The ALtracs® Plus is designed for direct assembly into cast holes. Compared to metric screws significant cost savings can be realised because the number of work steps is reduced (e.g. thread cutting). ALtracs® Plus is the improved version of the ALtracs® screw and it achieves strength values which are comparable to metric screw joints of the strength category 10.9.
Features and Benefits
-
Lightweight construction suitability: The optimised thread geometry of the ALtracs® Plus facilitates the use of smaller and shorter screws, but with consistently high strength values
-
High clamp loads and long term stability, even under high dynamic and thermal stress
-
Up to 40% costs saving through omission of work steps for screw and component
-
Easy design engineering with the EJOT® ALtra CALC prognosis programme
-
High vibration resistance without additional safety elements
-
High assembly safety due to low installation and failure torque
-
In case of repairs a metric screw can be used
Typical Applications
-
Instrument Panel assembly
-
Housing assembly of electric motors
-
Drawer assemblies, office furniture
