Thread Design: Trilobular screws have a specialized thread design with three lobes that roll or form threads into the material as the screw is driven in. This rolling action displaces the material rather than cutting it, which helps reduce the risk of material damage and provides a strong, secure connection.
Point Design: Trilobular screws typically have a sharp, pointed tip that helps guide the screw into the material without the need for pre-drilling. The sharp point aids in penetration and minimizes the risk of material splitting.
Materials: Trilobular screws are commonly made from hardened steel, stainless steel, or other materials with high strength and corrosion resistance. They may also be coated or plated for additional protection against corrosion and wear.
Head Types: Trilobular screws come in various head types, including pan head, flat head, oval head, and truss head, among others. The choice of head type depends on the specific application and desired finish.
Drive Types: Like other screws, trilobular screws are available with different drive types such as Phillips, slotted, square (Robertson), or Torx (star). The choice of drive type depends on personal preference and the availability of compatible screwdrivers or power tools.
Applications: Trilobular screws are commonly used in a wide range of applications where strong, reliable threads are required in materials such as metal, plastic, or composite materials. They are often used in industries such as automotive, electronics, construction, and appliance assembly.
