Do you want to attach sheets to sheets? However, you do not want to rely on riveting, welding, soldering, gluing or folding, but rather create a releasable connection that can be replaced in case of repair? And also still have absolute process reliability?
No problem, SHEETITE®, the thread-rolling screw for direct screw connection of sheets, is the solution!

SHEETITE® - Direct screw connection of sheets
When joining or screwing sheets, conventional tapping screws can often cause the screws to over-tighten during assembly or the screws to fail, or the bolted joint to loosen itself after a certain time. This is far from process security. Instead, use the innovative and patented SHEETITE® thread-rolling screw for direct screw connection of thin sheets with its increased safety against self-loosening, along with high load-bearing capacity and considerable reduction of assembly effort. Compared to tapping screws, you can use thinner sheets, which in addition to lesser material costs, can also significantly reduce weight.
Which technical advantages does a direct screw connection have with the SHEETITE® screw?
The SHEETITE® thin sheet metal screws are intended for direct screwing of two or more sheets with a total composite of max. 0.5 times the nominal diameter. Your technological advantage:
- Optimised load capacity
- High stability and durability
- Enormous unscrewing safety due to undercutting
- High security against overloads
- Improved hole finding
- Increased screw-in depth
- Higher overturn torques
- Low rolling torques
- No thermal stress on the sheet metal components
- Protection of internal product components thanks to rounded tip
- No additional locking elements necessary
- Option for disassembly
- Flexible pre-hole design
- No metal thread, metric thread
- Reduction of the weight of the final product by reducing the sheet thicknesses and omission of the locking elements
How does the direct screw connection of sheets work?
To connect, the SHEETITE® screw is bolted directly to an overhead sheet with a through hole and a pre-punched sheet at the bottom.
The screw displaces material in the joining direction, which increases the screwing depth compared to the original sheet thickness. The screw shank assumes a roundish cross-section and thus significantly improves the load capacity.
The SHEETITE® is suitable for joining steel and aluminium (other metals available upon request) and does not require any additional locking elements such as washers, nuts or clips. Ideal for the production of sheet metal coverings for ventilation, lamps, machine housings or white goods!
