EJOT PT – Perfect for Prototyping. Buy DIRECT online with next day delivery.

EJOT PT the original screw for plastics. Revolutionary in 1977, inspirational in 2014. It's no understatement to say that back in 1977, the EJOT PT® screw revolutionised thermoplastics assembly. Until then, dynamically and thermally stressed components could not be fastened directly, and only subordinate components were joined using conventional techniques - such as screws with metal inserts. At the time, EJOT's design objective was to return focus to loadings rather than assembly torques – the advantages of joining components using a thread-forming screw were obviously economical, detachable and recyclable. With a flank angle of 300, the EJOT PT's unique geometry meant assembly took place after the moulding process, eliminating inserts or bushings being placed into the tooling. As demands on fastening technology increased, the need for EJOT to build on the characteristics of the PT advanced to spawn new generations of more sophisticated plastic thread-forming screws and first variants of the EJOT DELTA PT arrived in the early 1990's. Yet the materials and general assemblies that the EJOT PT® was originally engineered for, remain popular today and the screw is undoubtedly the benchmark for reliable direct assembly into thermoplastics more than three decades on. EJOT PT® available to buy online in small quantities. Recognising the original PT's evergreen popularity, EJOT UK has made the screw available to buy off-the-shelf in batches of just 1000 screws. The thinking is to make the world's most reliable base model screw for plastics readily available for general engineering purposes, and to do so without being knowingly undersold by market copies. Equally, for Designer Engineers working towards prototype assemblies, buying PT direct from EJOT UK provides consistent screw quality and fast availability in small quantities. The PT Direct service incorporates the most popular sizes of pozi-pan screws. Customers can now purchase the EJOT PT® screw from the EJOT webshop, www.ejot.co.uk, or by calling Customer Services on 01977 68 70 40.
