Snap-in Captive Screws

When it comes to aerospace manufacture, precision, quality and durability are critical. Snap-in captive screws are, therefore, an essential part of the manufacturing process as they bring added reliability to component parts. Captive screws are specifically designed to withstand pressure and movement once installed, remaining in place amid immense pressure and heat. It is not possible for captive screws to shake loose over time despite the high levels of vibrations typical of the industry. The benefits of snap-in captive screws extend beyond airframe security, adding additional benefits on the production line. They will not come loose or fall out during the production processes, which leads to a potential saving in time and resources as a result of line stoppages. They are also quick and easy to install, adding further savings to the construction process and a potential reduction in lead times.
