Our GEVAG Proprietary Brands
The screws of our established brands GEVAG KUNST and GEVAG TAP enable efficient and reliable direct fastening. The proven GEVAG KUNST screw is developed and optimized for direct fastening in thermoplastics. As a high-performance thread-forming screw, GEVAG TAP offers quick and secure connection assembly for steel as well as light and non-ferrous metals. The advantage: Thanks to the thread-forming screw, work steps and costs associated with otherwise necessary thread cutting, thread cleaning, and the tools required for these processes are eliminated.
GEVAG KUNST
Screws that cut their own threads and reliably grip thermoplastics.
Screws of the GEVAG KUNST brand are developed for self-tapping direct screwing into thermoplastics. They use the ductility of the material, form the thread without cutting, and strengthen it for a particularly secure connection.
A large thread pitch, small core diameter, and a flank angle of 30° enable low screwing torques, high pull-out strength, and prevent material damage such as cracking or bulging.
Advantages
What makes GEVAG KUNST special
- Small radial forces – low radial expansion
- Low insertion torque
- Enormous load capacity due to high thread load-bearing capability
- No material damage
- Individually configurable in many different head shapes and thread diameters (1.8 – 6 mm)
Used in these industries
Typical applications at a glance
- Household appliances
- Medical technology
- Energy sector
- Automotive

GEVAG TAP
Self-tapping screws for secure connections in steel, light and non-ferrous metals
The thread-forming screws according to DIN 7500 of the GEVAG TAP brand form metric threads in steel as well as light and non-ferrous metals. Thanks to their trilobular thread form, they can be screwed into drilled or punched holes without pre-cutting, creating a metric ISO mating thread without cutting and with low screwing torque.
The result is a play-free thread with high frictional engagement, which can also accommodate standard screws. GEVAG TAP is available in many head shapes, tool holders and thread diameters from M2 to M6 and can be individually configured.
Advantages
What makes GEVAG TAP special
- No separate thread cutting necessary
- Cost savings of up to 30% compared to screws requiring a tapped hole
- The formed thread is metric, allowing a standard screw with an ISO thread to be used
- No chips during the screwing process
- Screwing with low effort due to low forming torque

GEVAG KSG
Screws with plastic saw thread
GEVAG KSG screws with plastic saw thread are designed for direct screwing into light metals and high-strength plastics and have been proven for many years. The asymmetrical, saw-tooth-like thread absorbs the forces generated during screwing in a targeted manner.
Assembly takes place in injected or drilled core holes with low screwing torque. A small thread pitch and a flank angle of 27° ensure high pull-out strength in high-strength plastics and reliably prevent cracking.
Advantages
What makes GEVAG KSG special
- Low insertion torque
- Very good assembly properties for direct fastenings
- Enormous load capacity due to high thread load-bearing capability (thread parameters: P, d1...)
- Individually configurable in many different head shapes and thread diameters
- Optionally available with scraping slot (DIN 4753)
