Below is our current range of nylon bolts and machine screws. Whilst not as strong as steel bolts, nylon
bolts are in contrast lightweight and are useful in situations where a non metallic fixing solution is
required, such as in telecommunications.
Plastic (Nylon Polyamide) - A tough lightweight plastic, strong at low temperatures, with excellent resistance to chemicals, and features favourable sliding friction behaviour.
Commonly referred to as a setscrew or simply as a bolt. The fully threaded DIN 933 or ISO 4017 should
not be confused with its DIN 931 equivalent. A standard spanner or ratchet is typically used to fit this
product. Used for decades on all types of assembly throughout the world. As with the DIN 931 hex bolt,
the hex drive allows a higher torque to be applied. All parts are to DIN 933 except where shown otherwise.
The alternative standard ISO 4017 specifies differences in head dimensions for M10, M12 and M14 thread
diameters from DIN 933. Please note that due to manufacturing limitations, all nylon variants of these
items are only "similar to" and not "in absolute accordance with" the standard specified.
The most common type of fastener, a hex head bolt is designed to be tightened with a standard spanner
or ratchet and socket. Popularly used in all assemblies, a standard hex bolt is a staple across the world.
Manufactured to ISO 4014 or DIN 931, and therefore includes an unthreaded section of the shaft. A hex
drive permits a greater torque load to be applied to the joint over most other drive types. Please note
that due to manufacturing limitations, all nylon variants of these items are only "similar to" and not
"in absolute accordance with" the standard specified.
Also known as an Allen screw or Allen bolt, or simply a cap screw. Socket Head Cap screws are a more
modern alternative standard machine fastener to the standard hexagon headed bolt or setscrew, as found
on much modern machinery. A hex key (otherwise known as an Allen key) is required to fit these fasteners.
Conforming to DIN 912 or ISO 4762. Please note that due to manufacturing limitations, all nylon variants
of these items are only "similar to" and not "in absolute accordance with" the standard specified.
Similar to DIN 84, but with a larger head diameter and a slightly different head profile. Manufactured
to ISO 1580 or DIN 85. Please note that due to manufacturing limitations, all nylon variants of these
items are only "similar to" and not "in absolute accordance with" the standard specified.
A machine screw with a traditional slot drive and a flat topped near cylindrical shaped head. Manufactured
to ISO 1207 or DIN 84. Please note that due to manufacturing limitations, all nylon variants of these
items are only "similar to" and not "in absolute accordance with" the standard specified.
