ecosyn®-fix and the Electronics Industry

Image
  At Bossard, simpler is often better. Our goal is to streamline your processes and offer more efficient products, and the ecosyn®-fix screw is a perfect example. This particular fastener was originally designed specifically for joints in electrical equipment , in addition to small and major appliances. For the purposes of this blog post, let’s focus on how the ecosyn®-fix screw can be beneficial to the electronics industry. What is the biggest benefit of the ecosyn®-fix washer head screw? Just a single part has to be bought, stocked, transported, and assembled. This is a screw, a flat washer, and a lock washer all in one. This one screw can streamline your process and provide a more economical solution. Your standard machine screw with large washers has nothing on the ecosyn®-fix . Did we also mention the large conical washer surface? This area possesses a certain spring effect against loss of pre-load. With an increase in friction, there is a greater vibration resistance. Th
