ASSY® 4 WASHER HEAD SCREW

Screws help hold the world together. The ASSY® 4 WASHER HEAD SCREW is the crème de la crème of fasteners in timber construction: Its geometry and large head allow it to carry heavier loads in a large number of applications, making it more secure than a standard countersunk head screw.

Manufacturing expertise

This ASSY® screw with our RW drive is part of the fourth generation of wood screws developed and manufactured by Würth. It is the product of a wealth of expert and customer knowledge gleaned from three decades. It is easy and safe to use, as has been confirmed by extensive tests and expert opinions.

Regional production

The screw is manufactured in the region at the subsidiary SWG, just nine kilometers from the Würth Group’s headquarters in Künzelsau. Short transportation routes translate into a good carbon footprint.

Extended family

This ASSY® screw has 1,599 siblings, and every one of them is unique. They differ in terms of their diameter, material, surface, length, and geometry.

A source of impetus

Designed for use in structural timber engineering, the ASSY® screw provides impetus for sustainable construction. As a renewable, energy-neutral raw material, wood captures CO2, making it more environmentally friendly than other building materials like concrete.

Digital service

How many ASSY® timber screws do I need? Where should I install them and which screw connection should I use? Design software provides a quick overview. Load tables show the weight each screw can support, depending on its head shape, diameter, and thread length.

The perfect combination

The RW drive transmits forces even more effectively. Smart details such as the end mill, new tip, and thread geometry make it more straightforward, easier and faster to drive the screw in. Two bits are usually enough for a carpenter. The technology and the combination of details are what make the difference.

The screw that uses its head: It holds things together that belong together.

The production of a screw:

Coil and screw head

The screw head is manufactured in several stages by cold forming with a press force up to 100 tonnes. Different tools are required to produce different head shapes.

Prodcution of a screw

Drill tip and thread

The drill tip is applied to the blank during pinching, whereas the rolled tip is applied during thread rolling. There are two different ways of thread rolling. In the case of short screws, the thread is formed with a fixed flat rolling die and a movable one. Rollers are used for thread forming of longer screws.

Production of a screw

Plugging in and straightening

Screws from a length of 180 mm are hardened hanging in racks to minimize process-related distortion. Long screws may have to be straightened after hardening.

Conveyor belt furnace and chamber furnace

During hardening the screws become hard outside and tough inside, so that they can be screwed. There are two different hardening methods. Short screws are hardened in a conveyor belt furnace. All screws with a length of 180 mm or more undergo heat treatment in a chamber furnace.
