Tapping in Plastic Machining from Aline Components Custom Plastic Injection Molding and Manufacturing Company

Both thread-cutting and thread-forming self-tapping screws are used to assemble components, especially in cases where different materials must be joined together to form a complete system. They offer a particular advantage where routine disassembly may be necessary for maintenance or repair. Aline's self-tapping screws are available both in thread-cutting type as well as thread-forming type. Thread-cutting screws physically remove plastic material to form the thread path. Thread-forming screws deform the plastic into which they are driven to produce a permanent thread. To determine which type will work best, our designers base their decision on the material's flexural modulus, a measure of a plastic's stiffness.

Aline Components supplies different types of plastic tapping screws to meet your application needs regardless of industry. Our screws are uniquely designed to tap and fasten securely into plastic materials for long, reliable service life. In applications where vibration resistant assembly is a must, we utilize only the best self-tapping screws available.
