Polymer Screws for Isolation, Corrosion, and Lightweight Applications
Plastic Screws
Thermoplastic-body fasteners — polymer thread, head, and drive formed from engineering plastic. Selected where metal screws cannot meet the requirement: electrical isolation, full corrosion immunity, non-magnetic service, or weight-critical assembly.
Way Fast supplies standard polymer fasteners (Nylon 6/6 and Polycarbonate catalog sizes) through established factory partnership. Inquiries welcome for applications matching available catalog specs. Engineering-grade polymers (PEEK, PPS, POM, PVDF) are specialty-line items typically sourced outside the Way Fast catalog.

Ground OD where bearing fit is required; hardened or case-hardened for wear applications.Sleeves, Bushings, InsertsBearing surfaces · threaded insertsPlain bearing sleeves, guide bushings, internally-threaded inserts (brass or steel — dedicated Brass Insert page available for threaded brass inserts). Machined from tube or bar stock with ID / OD concentricity matched per drawing.Connectors & Pipe FittingsFluid · electrical · mechanical jointsBrass and stainless pipe fitting bodies, fluid line connectors, threaded nipples, compression fittings, and electrical / grounding connectors per customer drawing.Precision ComponentsOptical · electronic · machine partsMiniature or tight-tolerance components — optical fiber link accessories, precision electronic housings, machine parts with critical tolerances on diameter, thread, or concentricity. Swiss-type precision turning where IT6–IT7 class tolerances are required.RangeSpecifications

Custom Die-Cast and Powder-Metal Components per Customer Drawing
Die Casting · Powder Metal Products
Non-fastener metal components produced by die casting (aluminum, zinc, magnesium alloy) or powder metallurgy (iron, steel, copper, nickel alloys) — custom parts supplied to customer drawing, not stock catalog items.
Way Fast has manufacturing partnership in place for die-cast housings, brackets, and PM bushings / gears / structural parts. Inquiries welcome for custom geometries where near-net-shape manufacturing is cost-effective over machining from bar stock.
Why source through Way Fast
We serve Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive suppliers — primarily to North American OEM programs, including platforms shared with European and Japanese brands — with day-to-day experience handling the documentation and tolerance standards these projects demand.
01 · Multi-source capacityWorking with multiple qualified manufacturing partners — we match each order to the best-fit production line, stabilizing lead times and cost when single-source capacity tightens.02 · Submission-grade documentationFull support for PPAP (Levels 1–3), IMDS submission, and RoHS / REACH documentation.03 · Audited special-process chainPartners certified to AIAG CQI-9 (heat treat), CQI-11 (plating), and CQI-12 (coating) — covering the full post-processing chain under audited special-process controls.04 · Multilingual drawing reviewTechnical drawing review in English, German, Japanese, and Chinese — including ISO 8015 GPS callouts, JIS standards, thread tolerance classes, and coating specifications.05 · Process selection per programmeProcess selection (die casting for shell / housing geometries, powder metallurgy for dense functional parts with self-lubricating or structural features) matched per customer part drawing, material spec, and annual volume. Tooling cost and feasibility assessed per programme scope. Contact with drawing, material spec, and annual volume for quotation.RangeSpecifications
