Product description
Thread rolling screws were developed to solve many problems that arose as automation became an essential part of the assembly process. The “need for speed” led manufacturing engineers to pursue new ideas for gaining efficiency and realizinig cost savings. Thread roling screws were capable of rollforming their own threads into untapped holes. Perhaps the most iconic design is the fully trilobular shape of the Taptite (Reminc) family of fasteners. This unique patented thread design became the standard for high performance engineered fasteners by reducing friction during assembly. The benefits included cost savings throughout the assembly process; elimation of thread tapping into the mating part becoming the most significant; and reduction in cross threading and anti-vibration / loosening were key features.
