S-97498A186 M12 x 240 mm DIN 571 Wood Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-lasting performance in humid or outdoor wood applications.
• Enhanced holding power through thread forming technology, which compacts wood fibers for a tighter, more secure grip without pre-drilling in many cases.
• Easy installation and removal with an external hex head design, allowing for high torque application using standard wrench or socket tools.
• Optimized load distribution due to the partially threaded shank, reducing the risk of wood splitting while maintaining strong clamping force.
• Reliable dimensional accuracy meeting DIN 571 standards, ensuring consistent fit and performance in professional woodworking and construction.
• Environmental and safety compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations, making it suitable for regulated projects and sustainable practices.
• Versatile application range from timber framing to heavy-duty construction, thanks to the M12 size and 240 mm length designed for substantial wood assemblies.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M12 wood screw is engineered to address common challenges in wood fastening, such as joint loosening under vibration and material degradation from moisture. The zinc-plated steel material provides a protective barrier against rust, essential for outdoor structures, decking, and timber construction exposed to the elements. Its thread forming design eliminates the need for tapped holes, reducing installation time and enhancing pull-out resistance by displacing wood fibers rather than cutting them. The partially threaded configuration ensures that the unthreaded shank bears against the top material, drawing components tightly together without stress concentration at the thread root. Combined with an external hex drive, it offers high torque capability for secure fastening in heavy-duty applications like wooden beams, furniture framing, and structural timber connections, delivering reliable performance where strength and durability are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw adheres to DIN 571 specifications for dimensional accuracy, including M12 thread size with a 5 mm pitch and a partially threaded design up to a minimum thread length of 144 mm. The zinc-plated surface treatment enhances corrosion resistance, while compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) ensures the product meets stringent environmental and safety standards, free from hazardous substances. Manufactured for use in wood applications, it guarantees consistent performance and regulatory alignment for professional and industrial use.
