Abstract

The present invention is relates to a fiber reinforced resin screw 10, 20 shaped using a resin composition containing reinforcing fiber in a resin. A pitch of threads has a length of 1.5 to 2 times of a standard pitch corresponding to an outer diameter of the threads prescribed in standards of a metric coarse screw, a unified coarse screw and a unified fine screw. An average fiber length of the reinforcing fiber is 1 to 1/3 times of the pitch of the threads in the fiber reinforced resin screw. A content rate of the reinforcing fiber is in a range of 20 to 80%. In this way, the fiber reinforced resin screw to have improved is provided in the strength of the thread.

Claims (10)

1. A fiber reinforced resin screw formed from a resin composition containing reinforcing fibers in a resin,

wherein a pitch of a thread of the fiber reinforced resin screw has a length of 1/4.3 to 1/2.2 times of an outer diameter of the thread,

wherein an average fiber length of the reinforcing fibers is 1 to 1/3 times of the pitch,

wherein a content rate of the reinforcing fibers is in a range of 20 to 80%,

wherein the reinforcing fibers contained in the resin composition are orientated along a top surface of the thread or side surfaces of the thread, and

wherein a ratio of the average fiber length of the reinforcing fibers to the outer diameter of the thread ranges from 1/12.9 to 1/2.2.

2. The fiber reinforced resin screw according to claim 1 , wherein an angle of the thread of the fiber reinforced resin screw is in a range of 60 to 90°.

3. The fiber reinforced resin screw according to claim 1 , wherein an outer diameter of the thread is in a range of 3.5 to 10 mm.

4. The fiber reinforced resin screw according to claim 1 , wherein the resin is selected from the group consisting of aromatic polyether ketone resin, polyamide resin, polyimide resin, polyphenylene sulfide resin, polyvinylidene fluoride resin, polycarbonate resin, polyacetal resin, phenol resin, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene resin, tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoralkyl vinyl ether resin, polybutylene terephthalate resin, and polyvinyl chloride resin.

5. The fiber reinforced resin screw according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing fibers are selected from the group consisting of glass fibers, carbon fibers, silicon carbide fibers, aramid fibers, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers.
