Thread forming screws - Import export

• Compatible with machine screw threads • Provides a high joint strength • Low loss of preload force under high dynamic and thermal loading • Effortless lead-in with low insertion torque for safe assembly • Excellent self-locking vibration resistance • High stripping torque • Allows for a reduction in installation depth

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

are self-tapping screws designed to securely mount thin sheet metal joints. Strong screw joint Circular cross section for better thread engagement Quick alignment and low installation torque for an easy and safe assembly High stripping torque Metric compatible

are designed to deliver cost-effective optimal joint performance for thin sheet metal applications. Tapered Thread Under Head Maintains full thread major diameter immediate to the surface Undercut Head Material extruded by the screw is absorbed while the under-head contact area is increased allowing for enhanced thread engagement and resistance to stripping Rounded Tip Provides easy entry into small holes with self-extrusion of the sheet metal as well as increase resistance to stripping Trilobular Build Provides resistance to loosening caused by vibration. Available with all Drive System Significantly extends tool life Ideal drive system for maximum torque transfer

are designed for optimal joint performance with lower in-place fastening costs. Trilobular thread shape Improves and expedites thread engagement and the initial thread forming Resists loosening caused by vibrations Provides a higher uniform drive Prevents internal thread stripping

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.
