When pinning and screwing components together in industrial applications, it is often necessary to ensure reliable electrical insulation without compromising the mechanical stability of the connection. While ceramic dowel pins ensure positive locking and steel screws ensure the positional connection of the assemblies, thermoset screw head insulators take on the task of electrical isolation.
In contrast to thermoplastic variants, thermoset screw head insulations offer significantly higher compressive strength and do not deform under load. These properties enable a durable, secure and low-maintenance connection in environments where electrical insulation and mechanical strength are required at the same time.

In many industrial applications, the use of multi-layer materials or intelligent material combinations is the optimal solution, both economically and technically. It is often sufficient to use high-performance materials only in the main load areas, while the other areas can be manufactured with more cost-efficient materials.
One example of this is gripper arms or handling elements in electronics production, where only the highly stressed zones are made of high-performance ceramics, while the support structure is made of fiber-reinforced composite materials. This results in solutions that combine a long service life, high process stability and cost optimization.
Megatron AG proves to be a reliable partner when it comes to complex components that go beyond pure drawing parts and require a cross-material design.
