GB6560 Cross Recess Pan Head Thread Forming Screw
GB6560 Cross Recess Pan Head Thread Forming Screw
The GB6560 Cross Recess Pan Head Thread Forming Screw is a high-performance fastening solution designed for direct assembly into pre-drilled or molded holes without the need for internal tapping. As an important category of industrial fasteners, this screw forms its own mating threads during installation, ensuring strong thread engagement, high vibration resistance, and excellent assembly efficiency.
Manufactured according to GB6560 standard, this thread forming screw is widely used in plastic, thin sheet metal, and composite material applications. It is commonly applied in electronics, automotive interiors, electrical housings, and OEM assemblies where reliable OEM fasteners and cost-effective installation are required.
Flybear provides precision-engineered fastening solutions for global industrial markets, ensuring stable quality and consistent performance.

Product Overview
The GB6560 Cross Recess Pan Head Thread Forming Screw features a rounded pan head combined with a cross recess drive, allowing easy and efficient installation using standard Phillips screwdrivers or automated assembly tools.
Unlike traditional machine screws, this thread forming screw eliminates the need for tapping operations. Instead, it plastically deforms the material to create internal threads, resulting in improved holding strength and reduced assembly time.
The pan head design provides a larger bearing surface, improving load distribution and reducing the risk of surface damage. This makes it especially suitable for lightweight structures and thin-walled components.
