In the end, success stems from extraordinary achievements – and fastening technology is no exception. Our well-equipped Custom Manufacturing Department supplies individually designed and refined fastening elements, individual tools for your optimised production and individual packaging with your logo.
Reliable know-how protection For us, the know-how you invest in your custom-made fastening technology is a substantial value base. Just like you: That’s why we optimally protect it and treat it with corresponding discretion.
Custom fastening elements
Custom geometry or custom lengths, modified or freshly designed from the ground up: We produce screw and non-screw connections just for you and your process requirements.
Our wide range of custom elements harbours lots of opportunities for our customer: Some innovative projects are only made possible with innovative fastening technology. Or by reducing processing times for your product or service – and thus, increasing efficiency and competitiveness – by means of customised fastening technology.
Drawing on experienced specialist personnel, state-of-the-art fastening technology know-how and the manifold possibilities of metal fabrication, we implement what is technically possible: Modifying existing DIN standard screws, standard connections and even designing new products.
Development, prototyping, testing We will accompany you personally during the development of your custom screw or non-screw connection. When entering new areas of fastening technology together, we thoroughly test the result by means of initial samples and prototypes. This saves you and your customers all risks and provides planning reliability for your production.
Production We make your custom fastening elements at the high quality you expect from Schmid Schrauben and supply (and store) them as flexible as ever.
Blue chrome coating Available with or without chromium VI. Light blue hue, weak corrosion protection.
Yellow chrome coating A popular choice thanks to its good and relatively cost efficient corrosion protection. However, this product is no longer approved for all applications due to its chromium VI content. Often the colour appears irregular.
Black chrome coating Medium corrosion protection, available with and without chromium VI.
Phosphating This method is most often used on steel to increase its corrosion protection. Coats of poorly soluble phosphates are applied to the pickled material. Depending on the type we distinguish between iron, zinc and manganese phosphating. Phosphating itself delivers only temporary corrosion protection. Often, it’s used as a base coat for other coatings as it improves the adhesion of further coats.
Custom refinement
Choose from many different refinement options
Galvanising protects your screw or fastening element from corrosion. The zinc coat itself, however, is exposed to white rust over time. Using expertly applied after-treatments such as a chrome coating, the formation of white rust can be delayed.
Hot-tip galvanising We perform hot-tip galvanising in-house. In this process, a solid zinc coating is applied to the workpiece by dipping it into a molten mass with a temperature of 450°C. This method is particularly suited for small parts and one-offs. Irregularities in the zinc coat cannot be ruled out entirely.
Sherardising In a rotating drum, the workpiece’s material bonds with the zinc powder at temperatures between 320°C and 500°C. This method delivers a very even zinc coat and thus, a particularly sturdy corrosion protection.
Zinc plating During the zinc plating process the material is dipped in a zinc electrolyte bath. The coat’s thickness is proportional to the strength and duration of the voltage flow.
Chrome coating Chrome coating is a step most often performed after galvanising. If possible, we prefer chromium VI free coatings that are non-damaging to health and environment.
Transparent chrome coating Free of chromium VI, but provides only limited corrosion protection.
