Hexagonal slotted PEEK screws

Hexagonal slotted PEEK screws

Core Features

  • Dual-Drive Head Geometry: Features both a standard external hexagonal profile and a linear top slot. This provides high “Tool-Agility,” allowing for high-torque installation using a socket or wrench, while the slotted drive permits rapid manual adjustments with a flat-blade screwdriver in tight spaces.
  • High-Performance Virgin PEEK: Manufactured from 100% Polyether ether ketone, offering an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that rivals many soft metals, while remaining significantly lighter.
  • Extreme Thermal Stability: Capable of maintaining high mechanical strength, creep resistance, and dimensional stability in continuous operating temperatures up to 250°C (482°F) and short-term spikes up to 300°C.
  • Absolute Chemical & Corrosion Resistance: Completely immune to rust, oxidation, and galvanic corrosion. It is highly resistant to a broad spectrum of harsh chemicals, including organics, strong acids, bases, and aggressive cleaning solvents.
  • Electromagnetic Transparency: 100% non-magnetic, radiolucent, and an excellent electrical insulator, preventing short circuits and signal interference in highly sensitive electronic and medical equipment.

At Kriloha Ltd., we understand that standard metallic fasteners become severe liabilities in extreme chemical, thermal, or high-voltage environments. Our Hexagonal Slotted PEEK Screws are our engineered answer for “Zero-Interference” and “Versatile-Access” fastening. As a premier provider of advanced industrial components, Kriloha has developed a specialized line of PEEK parts that balances mechanical holding power with the absolute material immunity required for next-generation technology.

The engineering of our dual-drive PEEK fastener series is based on Installation-Agility and Structural-Integrity. By utilizing precision injection-molding combined with advanced secondary machining, we ensure the hexagonal outer profile is dense and perfectly dimensioned to handle wrench torque, while the top slot is cut cleanly to prevent screwdriver cam-out. At Kriloha, we verify that our thread pitches provide a flawless, anti-galling fit. This creates a “Failure-Resistant” fastening system that gives technicians the flexibility to choose the right tool for the space, without compromising the assembly’s integrity.

Manufacturing these advanced polymer components involves strict Dimensional and Thermal Verification. We ensure that every screw across the sizing range provides the reliable, creep-resistant performance required for ultra-high vacuum (UHV) and clean-room applications. Whether you are assembling a high-Tesla MRI machine or overhauling a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) chamber, Kriloha PEEK Screws provide the exact environmental durability your facility demands. By choosing Kriloha Ltd., you are investing in a “Future-Proof” material technology that secures your highest-value innovation.

Primary Use Cases

  • Medical & Diagnostic Imaging: Ideal for assembling MRI machines, X-ray equipment, and surgical tools where non-magnetic, radiolucent properties and repeated sterilization capabilities are critical.
  • Semiconductor Manufacturing: Fastening components inside vacuum chambers and wafer-handling equipment where chemical resistance and exceptionally low outgassing are mandatory.
  • Aerospace & Aviation: Used in weight-critical assemblies, drone manufacturing, and avionic enclosures to shed mass without sacrificing structural integrity or environmental resistance.
  • Chemical Processing Plants: Securing flanges, sensors, and fluid-handling equipment exposed to highly corrosive industrial environments where steel bolts would rapidly fail.
  • High-Voltage Electronics: Providing safe, non-conductive mechanical fastening in electrical panels, large transformers, and battery enclosures to eliminate arcing hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is the primary benefit of the “Hexagonal Slotted” head design?

It offers unparalleled versatility during assembly and maintenance. You can use a hex socket or wrench when higher torque is needed to secure the primary assembly, and use a simple flathead screwdriver for quick, low-torque adjustments or rapid removal in confined spaces.

  1. Why should I use a PEEK screw instead of Stainless Steel or Titanium?

PEEK is significantly lighter, provides excellent electrical insulation, is invisible to magnetic fields (perfect for MRIs), and will not corrode or gall in environments that would typically destroy standard metals. It also eliminates the risk of galvanic corrosion between dissimilar materials.

  1. Can these screws handle high-stress structural applications?

While PEEK is one of the strongest thermoplastics available, it does not have the ultimate tensile strength of high-grade steel. They are designed for applications where chemical resistance, weight savings, and electrical/magnetic isolation are more critical than raw clamping force. Proper thermoplastic torque specifications must be strictly followed.

  1. Can this screw withstand repeated sterilization cycles?

Yes. PEEK maintains its structural and dimensional integrity through thousands of repeated sterilization cycles, including high-temperature steam autoclaving, gamma radiation, and ethylene oxide (EtO) exposure.

  1. Do these screws outgas in a vacuum?

No. PEEK has exceptionally low outgassing properties, making these dual-drive fasteners highly suitable for Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) environments commonly found in semiconductor manufacturing and advanced aerospace engineering.
