What are self-sealing screws?
In many industrial and commercial operations, fasteners are exposed to extreme conditions (such as shock or vibration), which can compromise the integrity of the hardware or component. Self-sealing screws are designed to solve these problems, creating strong joints and seals that can be used in even the most demanding environments. They offer the following advantages over traditional fastening and sealing solutions:
Installation is easier. Self-sealing screws create a reliable and reusable seal without the need for separate gaskets or sealants.
Better vibration resistance. Self-sealing screws are vibration resistant, which allows them to withstand normal vibration and repetitive motion. If a higher degree of vibration resistance is required, APM Hexseal offers fastener solutions with additional locking features such as self-locking pellets, strips and patches.
Wider range of choices. BALIANFANG is available in a variety of standard thread sizes and a variety of O-ring elastomer options. Other customizations include special thread forming variants, tamper-resistant drives, thread fastenings, and paint and finish options.
How do self-sealing screws work?
Self-sealing screws are ideal for applications where protection from unintended fluid flow is required. They feature built-in O-rings that create a tight seal once the fastener is fully installed. Seals prevent contaminants such as air, dust, lubricants, water, or other gases and liquids from penetrating into or out of sealed areas within equipment or systems.
