Thread forming - Import export

K-TITE high-performance thread rolling fasteners are specially designed to lower your in-place fastening costs. K-TITE fasteners form internal threads into plain holes in ductile materials upon initial installation, which: • Eliminates the need to pre-tap the nut member • Reduces problems associated with assembling screws and bolts into pre-tapped holes, such as cross-threading

The economic adjustment to small batch sizes, we meet with our turned parts for the direct assembly in plastics and die-cast products. Any thread forms such as, thread-tapping (DIN7500), thread cutting (DIN 7513-7516) or KTG for direct screw in plastics are realized cost-effectively. Advantage is the elimination of high tooling costs, since no counter-thread in the workpiece (eg threaded inserts, nuts, etc.) is required because the direct assembly takes place directly into the workpiece. Only a given tube is required in order to screw it directly. Our turned parts replace previously cold formed parts used (so-called multi-station presses) which require high output volumes in order to achieve a reasonable price parts.

They are designed with a large clearance in the standard product, which enables a secure operation even under high peripheral speeds. The bore of the inner ring has a tolerance according to E10. The shafts should have a tolerance between h6 and h9. Please contact us in case you require lower or more bearing tolerances. Loads igubal® rod end bearings take high forces in normal ambient temperatures, have excellent dampening properties and weigh only a fifth of the conventional metallic bearing housing. In particular cases the load carrying capacity of the rod end bearings should be checked in a practical trial especially with high constant loads and at higher temperatures. Coefficients of surface friction and speeds Rotary motions of the mounted shaft take place directly in the bearing ball made of iglidur® W300. The advantage of this plastic/steel plain bearing is that high speeds can be achieved in dry operation. Taking the radial loads into account, maximum surface speeds up to 0.5 m/s rotating can be attained. The maintenance-free igubal® rod end bearings casually permit linear and oscillating movements of the shaft. Delivery program igubal® rod end bearings are available in the dimensional series K and E for shaft diameters of 2 to 30 mm in all dimensions according to DIN ISO 12240, and of course respectively in the Form A - with male thread and Form B - with female thread The dimensional series K and partly E are moreover available in inch dimensions and – as special version – with a stainless steel sleeve in the spherical ball. Thereby an essentially higher tightening torque is possible than with the plastic spherical ball.

is engineered for direct assembly of thin walled and flat designed thermoplastic components. Direct assembly using the Polymate30 Screw makes thin walled and flat designs possible. This leads to material savings and reduced cycle times during injection moulding. Therefore, the quality of the Polymate30 joint and the fastening component, translates into a considerable cost saving overall.

is a special fastener designed for reliability and an easy direct assembly into thermoplastics. Enhancement when compared with Polymate30: The re-designed geometrical flank allows for optimized movement of plastic material while initiating the fastening procedure. Under static and dynamic stress, a considerable increase is ensured in the service life of the joint. At the same nominal diameter, up to 50% gain in torsional and tensile strength. As there is a larger core and reduction in the thread pitch length, shorter fasterners and/or smaller diameters may be used. Improved pitch provides added vibrational safety. SOMETIMES SMALLER IS BETTER The visuals below show the advantages of a reduced fastener length and diameter by comparing Polymate30 to Polymate20. Substitute A provides a reduction in length, whereas Substitute B provides a reduction in diameter. For both scenarios, the reduction in pitch from the Polymate20 provides a maintainted thread flank.

The course external thread of SPIROL's Self-Tapping Insert forms an internal thread within a molded or pre-drilled hole during the installation process into a plastic assembly. SPIROL Series 10 Self-Tapping Inserts are thread forming Inserts best suited for softer thermoplastics or thermosets. Self-Tapping Inserts provide the best pull-out resistance for a post-mold installed Insert, yet generally cost more than their post-mold counterparts. The external threads are designed with a thin profile to minimize induced stress in the plastic and have a relative coarse pitch to provide the maximum plastic shear surface to resist pull-out.

Compared with the machining method, thread forming excels through its higher repeat accuracy and greater strength of the threads. The FormMax solid carbide thread former by LMT Fette is made of a newly developed ultra-fine grain carbide and is tailored precisely to customers’ needs thanks to its optimized geometry. Thread quality and tool life are increased even further, as the coated tool surface is especially smooth. Furthermore, higher circumferential speeds increase the efficiency of thread forming. The tool features integrated coolant channels. The standard program covers the dimensions M4 to M12 and MF8 x 1 to MF14 x 1.5 and is available ex-stock at short notice.

LMT Fette rolling heads generate the thread or required form and then open automatically after rolling. Before the next thread can be rolled the head has to be put back into working position, means the head must be closed. The completely new designed closing clip, delivered as standard, already allows an flexible and user friendly layout of the process for closing the rolling head. Another significant optimization of the closing process can be realized with the new closing device (CCD) for EVOline. Adapted between rolling head and shank and connected with the coolant supply, closing of the rolling head can be transferred from process time to the non-productive time of the machine. Closing by coolant (or even compressed air) can be integrated in the machine program by a simple function.

In stamping technology, many very different technologies can be integrated into the stamping process, such as assembling two or more parts, contact riveting, resistance and laser welding, laser marking of parts, or thread forming. Our high-precision tools, thereby, create a basis for production that is, over its lifetime, very high quality and economical. The stamping process is accompanied by a 100 % quality control of the functional design dimensions.
