Thrust screws and ball-end thrust screws by norelem
norelem offers a wide range of thrust screws and ball-end thrust screws.
These screws are available in various sizes and materials to meet specific requirements.
Thrust screws make for strong connections between two components without damaging the screws themselves. They are characterised above all by their sturdy nature, high load capacity and long service life.
Ball-end thrust screws, on the other hand, are a special type of thrust screw and have a ball at the tip. This ball enables the screw to be held in a specific position without moving.
Our range of ball-end thrust screws
The range of ball-end thrust screws is diverse and differs in the material of the base body and in the nature and material of the mounting or support surface.
The range can also be divided into two areas:
- Ball-end thrust screws with head
- Ball-end thrust screws without head
Ball-end thrust screws with head usually have a conical head that provides a large surface for fastening the screw. This special type of screw is suitable for applications where strong fastening is required.
Ball-end thrust screws without head are more suitable for applications where only light fastening is required. They have no head and are straight screws that can be screwed into a thread.
Thrust screws and ball-end thrust screws in various sizes
The norelem range contains thrust screws and ball-end thrust screws in various sizes and measurements. The versions can be differentiated by different lengths, diameters and threads. The selection of thrust screws and ball-end thrust screws is available in lengths between 3 mm and 200 mm. Screws can be supplied with a diameter ranging from M2 to M20. The threads range from ISO 476 to ISO 1478.
Thrust screws and ball-end thrust screws made of steel, stainless steel and POM
As already mentioned above, the screws are also differentiated by their material.
norelem offers thrust screws and ball-end thrust screws with a base body made of stainless steel, steel and Q+T steel. Steel is a frequently used material that is suitable for most applications. However, unlike stainless steel and Q+T steel, it is not as resistant. Stainless steel is a high-quality material that is highly resistant to corrosion and has a long service life. However, it is more expensive than steel.
Q+T steel is the most expensive of the three. But, it is also a special material that is suitable for particularly high loads and high precision.
To summarise, find out in detail about the different materials and consider the respective properties before purchasing.
The range contains screws with a mounting and support surface made of stainless steel, ceramic, brass, POM, and steel. Here, each material also has its own properties and advantages. While stainless steel is sturdy and has a long service life, ceramic is light and durable. Brass is a soft material that is extremely suitable for the manufacture of screws, while POM is an extremely hard material. Due to its high resistance, POM has a long service life.
Areas of application for thrust screws and ball-end thrust screws
Thrust screws can be used in different areas and industries. They can also be used to clamp, brace or support non-parallel surfaces. For example, thrust screws can be used to gently clamp or press on threaded pins, axles, shafts and surface-treated parts.
Thrust screws and ball-end thrust screws differ as follows:
thrust screws exert a constant force on a counter part by being pressed against the surface of the counter part by a combination of pressure and friction.
Ball-end thrust screws are a special type of thrust screw that have a ball at the tip that fits into a recess in the counter part. The ball enables higher friction and a stronger transmission of force than with a normal thrust screw.
