Why choose patterned screws with square head or hammer head
Square head screws are particularly suitable when a simple and secure locking system is required, especially in contexts where rotation during tightening must be avoided. Hammerheads, on the other hand, allow quick anchoring within grooved profiles, an indispensable feature in modular systems. This type of screw is an optimal solution for reducing assembly time on the construction site and providing flexibility in positioning the fastening system.
Both can be made with custom geometries and special materials such as A2, A4 stainless steels or corrosion-resistant alloys, ensuring superior performance in outdoor or aggressive environments.
Applications in modular rail systems for solar power plants
In thesolar energy industry, hammerhead screws are widely used for attaching photovoltaic panels to the profiles of supporting structures. Their main features include:
- Quick installation without drilling due to direct insertion into the rail
- Compatibility with standardized or customized aluminum profiles
- High corrosion resistance in outdoor and marine environments
- Ability to supply to drawings to accommodate new technologies and structural geometries
Because of these properties, hammerhead screws are ideal for installers, structure manufacturers and designers of large-scale PV systems.
Fastening systems for tunnels and tunnels
In the underground infrastructure sector, such as tunnels and galleries, the need for strong and durable fasteners is paramount. Square head screws and hammer head versions are used in:
- Support systems for electrical installation and communication networks.
- Fixing conduits and brackets on preinstalled metal rails.
- Quick installations on C-rails or perforated and shaped profiles.
Vibration resistance and the possibility of integration with special dowels or anchors make these screws a well-established choice for construction companies and rail or road infrastructure managers.
Marine applications: reliability in corrosive environments
In the marine industry, extreme operating conditions require highly durable mechanical materials and designs. Square-head and hammer-head screws are used for:
- Fixing conduits and cable passages in engine rooms and technical compartments
- Support auxiliary facilities such as compressed air lines, technical water and electric cables
- Ensure safe mountings on metal structures subject to marine corrosion
Using steels such as theAISI 316L or customized anti-corrosion treatments, these screws allow low maintenance and long operational life even in aggressive environments such as offshore or underwater.
Advantages of design screws for industrial plants
Opting for custom-designed screws with special heads offers concrete advantages in terms of:
- Total adaptability to non-standard profiles, brackets, and components
- Reduced assembly time on site or on the line
- Improved grip and safety even in dynamic or vibrating conditions
- Optimal choice of materials according to the environment and expected durability
Each screw can be designed in collaboration with the customer’s engineering department, ensuring a 100% customized and efficient solution.
