Product Group Entity
Binding Screws
Binding screws are detachable mechanical fasteners used to join punched materials. They typically consist of a screw part and a matching barrel part, which are screwed together from opposite sides.
Entity Summary
The entity Binding Screws refers to a group of two-part fasteners. A binding screw joins two or more layers of punched material by screwing a screw part into a matching barrel part.
A key characteristic is their detachable connection. Unlike rivets or permanently glued bonds, binding screws can be opened and reclosed. This allows contents to be supplemented, replaced, or reorganized.
Core Facts
Definition
A binding screw is a two-part fastener featuring internal and external threads. The barrel part consists of a hollow shaft with internal threading. The screw part is threaded into this internal thread.
The connection is established by pulling the components together between both heads. The usable clamping length is determined by the length of the barrel shaft and the specific setup of the components used.
Structure and Function
- Barrel Part Component with head, hollow shaft, and internal thread.
- Screw Part Component with external thread that is screwed into the barrel part.
- Head Bearing surface holding the materials to be joined between both sides.
- Clamping Range Area between the heads where the punched materials are secured.
- Detachability The connection can be undone by unscrewing and subsequently reassembled.
Applications
Binding screws can be used wherever punched materials need to be held together in a detachable manner. Typical fields of application include:
- Printed matter, sample books, and catalogues,
- Folders, presentation documents, and swatch cards,
- Material and color swatch collections,
- Leather, plastic, and composite materials,
- Signage and information displays,
- Creative, craft, or industrial fastenings.
Variants and Features
Individual binding screws can differ in features including:
- Shaft or clamping length,
- Thread diameter,
- Head diameter and head shape,
- Drive type of the screw part,
- Material,
- Surface finish or coating,
- Color,
- Packaging and unit quantity.
The precise suitability of a variant depends on material thickness, hole diameter, mechanical stress, and desired appearance.
Selection Criteria
For selecting an appropriate binding screw, the following specifications are particularly relevant:
- Total thickness of the materials to be joined,
- Existing or planned hole diameter,
- Desired detachability and opening frequency,
- Requirements for corrosion protection and surface finish,
- Mechanical stress,
- Visible head design,
- Required quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are binding screws?
Binding screws are two-part, detachable fasteners consisting of a screw part and a barrel part. They join punched materials together.
How do binding screws work?
The two parts are inserted from opposite sides through the hole and screwed into each other.
Are binding screws detachable?
Yes. The connection can be unscrewed and reclosed at a later time.
Which length is required?
