TAPTITE®
As a tri-lobular thread forming screw, the Taptite has mating threads which are work-hardened as they are developed. The tri-lobular shape of the screw causes the material to form around the screw during the process of elastic recovery, providing a resistance to loosening cause by vibration. At ITW Shakeproof Industrial, we offer these Taptite thread forming screws which are ideal for numerous industrial applications.
Advantages of Taptite Thread Forming Screws
The various benefits afforded by our selection of Taptite thread forming screws include:
-
- Produces a strong joint with perfectly mated threads
- Decreases the quantity of chips during the thread forming process
- Excludes any requirement for separate tapping procedures
The TRILOBULAR™ shape of Taptite thread forming screws lowers the level of friction during the thread forming process, delivers prevailing torque which is greater than the torque level of locking screws, and most importantly, naturally resists loosening due to vibrations.
