I will teach you the basics of performance evaluation. 'This is the basics of performance evaluation! Free distribution of the screw evaluation test by Daiichi Kogyo Co., Ltd.!'

We are evaluating the performance of screws and fasteners. We will introduce the testing equipment and test examples to ensure the performance of the "screw"!

Screws are the fundamental mechanical elements that "connect things." Despite being small parts, the role of screws in "fastening" is significant. To fulfill this important role, various functions and performances are required of screws. Evaluations are diverse to confirm whether the "required performance is met." At Daiichi Industry, we assess the performance of screws and fastening bodies using various testing equipment. Due to the wide range of required functions and performances, many testing facilities are necessary, including those uniquely developed in collaboration with academia. What kind of equipment is used, and what items are evaluated? What evaluation results can be obtained from actual test examples? We introduce the test contents and inspection items with accompanying photos. Please check it out through the PDF download. Feel free to contact us as well.

A high-torque compatible embedded bolt for resin that is strong against rotation and withdrawal, and does not damage the resin. It allows for nut tightening when embedded in resin parts.

The "SSOO Bolt" is a resin embedded bolt (insert bolt) with a special octagonal head shape, offering excellent torque resistance and pull-out strength. An insert bolt is a bolt that is embedded in resin and fastened with a nut. By tightening with a nut, it allows for the fastening of resin parts to each other or resin parts to metal. It minimizes deformation and cam-out of the resin when fastened with high torque, enabling nut tightening at high torque levels. It can also be used for back embedding (thermal press fitting), making it suitable for shapes that cannot be integrally molded. Since the bolt can be used in an upright position within the resin, it improves the assembly of parts. The product design has been completely revamped, and sizes from M4 to M8 are now available. 【Features】 ● Special shape that minimizes cam-out and slip even when tightened with high torque ● Strong against pull-out, preventing deformation of resin parts ● Usable for both insert (simultaneous molding) and outsert (thermal press fitting) ● Mass production possible due to unique manufacturing methods ● Trusted Octa Lobular series *For more details, please refer to the materials.

This is a strong insert nut that prevents slippage (co-rotation and idling) caused by bolt tightening and protects resin products from damage.

Insert nuts for resin (plastic) have traditionally utilized knurled, square, and hexagonal shapes, which have raised concerns about the nuts deforming the resin and spinning freely (slipping or idling) when bolts are tightened with high torque. As a result, we received strong requests from customers to develop insert nuts with shapes that can withstand high torque (high torque strength). We conducted research, development, and prototyping in-house and devised an original shape of insert nut that can handle high torque. It is designed for use during resin molding and also boasts excellent tensile strength (pull-out strength). 【Features】 - Strong nuts that prevent spinning (slipping or idling) and protect resin products from damage. - A unique octagonal shape that enables "high torque tightening," which has not been available before. - We have realized a shape that is difficult to spin, as requested by many customers.
