Accu, one of the UK’s leading precision engineering component distributors, has introduced Pika screws to its range, which are ideal for applications where aesthetics and a flush finish are essential.
Pika screws are an innovative type of fastener designed with a unique spring-loaded concealed drive and three-lobed configuration, making them ideal for applications where aesthetics and a flush finish are required. These screws are specifically engineered to hide the drive recess, providing a sleek, decorative solution for high-end projects.
Pika screws can be found in premium carpentry projects, where they ensure a clean, polished look, with the screw heads blending discreetly into the surface. They are also a popular choice for decorative panels in architecture, ensuring that no screw marks or recesses detract from the overall sheer, smooth design of the end project.
Accu offers Pika screws in two high quality materials; brass and stainless steel (304). Brass Pika screws are ideal for applications where a refined, vintage aesthetic is preferred. Stainless Steel Pika screws offer a sleek, contemporary appearance and are suitable for indoor or outdoor use.
Yasin Boulakhras, Accu’s Global Head of Product Strategy, explains: “We introduced this range to meet customer demand from the furniture and architectural industries. The aesthetics of these screws are undeniable, as the screw drive remains hidden and flush with the surface, whilst a secure hold is guaranteed.”
To operate the concealed drive, a special Pika drive is required. When the bit is inserted into the screw and as pressure is applied during installation, the spring-loaded mechanism activates, revealing the drive. This three-lobed drive enhances the grip during installation, allowing for precise torque control. This combination of features makes Pika screws perfect for both practical fastening and aesthetic enhancement, while ensuring a strong secure hold.
Accu’s range of Pika Screws come in a variety of sizes and types to suit individual applications, from Thread Sizes: 1/4-20 UNC to 5/16-18 UNC and lengths: 3/4″ to 1 1/2″.
As a specialist in precision engineering components, Accu is at the forefront of supporting industries that are transitioning into the next industrial revolution.
