RIBE Aluform

High-strength aluminum screws

Lightweight construction with aluminum: The future of fastening technology

RIBE’s Aluform screws are specially designed for lightweight construction and represent the next step in the evolution of fasteners. The advantages of aluminum alloys for fasteners are manifold – especially in combination with magnesium or aluminum components and compared to traditional steel screws. Benefits include considerable weight savings, the maintenance of a high level of prestressing force under varying temperature conditions, no risk of galvanic corrosion and potentially significant cost savings. In addition to the weight advantage of the aluminum screw itself, it is possible to optimize the weight of the entire connection point.

The ideal solution

Another advantage is that, in addition to the weight advantage of the aluminium screw itself, it is also possible to optimize the weight of the entire screw connection point. RIBE Aluform screws are an ideal solution for applications that require electronic contacts, as they offer low contact resistance, a stable clamping force and excellent conductivity. Carefully matched surface and material properties also guarantee reliable assembly and a permanent hold.
