WS Self drilling fastener for timber

System WS is a self-drilling dowel used in constructing multi-layer timber/steel connections. Thanks to the low equipment cost, it is readily available to smaller companies.




Technical information: WS-T-7 x L / WS-T-5 x L

Material:Carbon steel
Drive:T40 / T30
Surface:Durocoat
Diameter:Ø 7 mm / Ø 5 mm

Application:


The self-drilling dowel stack fasteners WS from SFS intec are available in two diameters and a range of lengths. 5 mm diameter fasteners are available from 73 mm to 193 mm, while the 7 mm diameter versions are available from 113 to 233 mm in length. In each case the fasteners should be 7 mm shorter than the thickness of the timber. The fasteners are thus suitable for sections of 80 to 240 mm; or for double-sided use up to a maximum of 480 mm.

A satisfyingly simple system, providing long-term quality

System WS is a self-drilling dowel used in constructing multi-layer timber/steel connections. The WS self-drilling dowel, together with the manual setting tool CF WS/M or the frame setting tool CF WS/P and the dimensioning guidelines, are all you need with this revolutionary system.

The dowels are simply inserted through the timber and the steel in a single operation without pre-drilling; saving time and money. Up to three 5 mm steel sheets can be penetrated.

The rear of the wooden surface is not penetrated!



The new System WS from SFS reduces the work to just three steps:

Für die Fachwerk-Knotenherstellung war bisher ein aufwändiger Prozess erforderlich. Mit dem neuen WS-System von SFS intec reduziert sich der Arbeitsablauf auf wenige Arbeitsschritte:

1. Inserting the steel plates2. Adjusting and fixing3. Inserting the fastener

The great advantage: direct insertion means exact contact

No need for:





  • pre-drilling steel
  • pre-drilling wood
  • final adjustments
