the head of the screw marked by a discontinuous cut point with a transition radius that starts at the fastener shank. The teeth formed by this profile aid in scratching surface protections and, therefore, lead to electric contacts.
A significant German manufacturer of illuminations
has released this contact profile as a grounding assembly and adopted it in the company specifications. The example below shows a luminary body with fluorescent lamp ballast. These devices are grounded with an EJOT Spiralform® Screw featuring CONLOK® profile that also guarantees safety against torsion. As a result of this teething, grown gears are not required for this application leading to reduced part costs. While at the same time, facilitating the use of automated feeding devices and simplifying your assembly process.
The benefits are:
+ Guarantee of electric contacs between part and fastener
+ Surface protection layers with a thickness
of 70µ (coating powder) can be penetrated
+ Increase of torques and loosening torques.
+ The optional design of teeth allows to breach
coatings of different thicknesses ® + CONLOK profiles can be combined with all EJOT products
