Production of self-tapping screws
The production of self-tapping screws represents one of the areas of excellence of Vilux Viterie , which stands out for its ability to offer tailor-made solutions for every industrial need . These screws, essential for a wide range of industrial applications, are designed to insert effectively into materials even without the need for pre -drilling , ensuring quick and secure assembly. Their ability to self-drill and thread the material into which they are applied makes them ideal for large-scale production, where efficiency and reduced assembly time are priorities. At Vilux Viterie , each self-tapping screw is the result of a careful development process, where the choice of materials, design planning and quality control are key stages to guarantee an excellent final product.
Types of self-tapping screws
Self-tapping screws are indispensable tools in many sectors , from mechanics to carpentry , and are distinguished by unique characteristics that determine their specific use. Their main ability is to cut a thread as they are screwed, eliminating the need for pre -drilling (except for metal because adequate pre-drilling must be provided ) and ensuring quick and resistant assembly. There are various types of self-tapping screws, each designed for specific needs and materials:
Needle Point Screws
Best suited for plastic and soft materials, they minimize the possibility of damaging the material during insertion.
Slotted Screws
Specific to wood, these screws have a tip that separates the wood fibers rather than cutting them, reducing the risk of splitting.
Self-tapping screws:
the materials with which we produce them
We carefully select the materials used for the production of self-tapping screws , ensuring that each final product not only meets the required technical specifications, but also offers maximum strength and durability. Here are the main materials we use:
- Steel : Highly prized for its strength and versatility, steel is the preferred choice for most industrial applications, ensuring excellent mechanical strength and tensile strength.
- Brass : This material is chosen for its innate corrosion-resistant properties and its ease of processing, making it ideal for humid environments or decorative applications.
- Copper : Selected for its electrical and thermal conductivity, copper is often used in electrical applications where this property is crucial.
- Aluminum : Lightweight but strong, aluminum offers an excellent compromise between weight and strength, perfect for aeronautical or automotive applications where weight is a critical factor.
- Stainless steel : For applications requiring superior resistance to corrosion, stainless steel is the ideal choice, particularly effective in aggressive environments such as marine or chemical ones.
Through the use of these materials, Vilux Viterie is able to provide self-tapping screws that not only meet but exceed our customers’ expectations in terms of performance and reliability.

Self-tapping screws:
head types
The choice of the head of a self-tapping screw is essential to determine the effectiveness of the fastening and ease of application. We offer a wide range of head types to meet the specific needs of each application:
- Standard screws : These screws are versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications, ensuring reliable fastening in different materials.
- Button Head Screws : Offer a more refined aesthetic appearance and are ideal when the screw must remain visible on the finished piece.
- Countersunk head screws : These are the ideal choice for applications requiring a total flush finish, where the screw head must be completely hidden.
Each head type is designed to meet not only functional but also aesthetic requirements, ensuring that each fixing contributes to the visual quality of the final product without compromising its structure or safety.
Self-tapping screws:
types of threads
- Sawtooth Threads : Optimal for plastic materials, these threads reduce insertion effort and increase the material’s resistance to relaxation.
- Special custom threads : We create tailor-made threads based on technical specifications provided by our customers, to satisfy unique and particular needs.
