What is a Taptite bolt?
What is a Taptite bolt?
TAPTITE® thread rolling screws roll form threads in plain cored, drilled, or punched holes upon assembly. Creating vibration resistant assemblies, eliminating the need to pre-tap internal threads in ductile materials such as steel, aluminum, zinc, etc., thus lowering the cost of assembly.
What is TAPTITE 2000?
TAPTITE 2000® Fasteners The thread forming screw that introduced the Radius Profile™ Thread. TAPTITE 2000® thread forming technology joined two unique concepts and advanced fastener performance to new levels. TAPTITE 2000® fasteners afford end-users with enhanced opportunities to reduce the overall Cost of Assembly.
What is a tri lobe screw?
Trilobular Thread Forming System. Thread-rolling screws form their nut threads themselves when they are screwed into precut holes. The trilobular thread shape enables the threads to form the internal thread. The screw is designed with a tapered point or commonly referred to as lead threads.
What are Plastite screws?
The Plastite 45 screw is designed to facilitate thread-forming in less-compressible plastics while providing high resistance to strip-out and pull-out. The 45° thread profile allows threads to penetrate deeply into plastic material and generate strong mating threads which resist vibration loosening.
What is Trilobular bolt?
TAPTITE II® thread-rolling screws have the TRILOBULAR® shape, which reduces friction during thread forming, provides prevailing torque, which exceeds the level of locking screws, and most importantly, inherently provides resistance to vibrational loosening.
What is thread forming screw?
Thread forming screw is a generic term for any type of screw that forms its own threads into the mating material. The obvious advantage to thread forming screws is the elimination of nuts or a taping operation, which can save money and/or reduce the amount of parts used.
What is a thread rolling screw?
Thread rolling screws are designed for reliable and secure fastening into materials such as plastic. They have a trilobular lobed cross-section, and form threads in pre-existing holes by pushing material outward during installation.

What are thread forming screws?
Will self tapping screws work in plastic?
Self-tapping screws are typically used to secure wood, plastic, metal and brick together. There are two types of self-tapping screws, thread-forming and thread-cutting.
What is Panhead screw?
Pan head screws are a common head type of non-countersunk screw head used in wood screws, self-tapping screws, self-drilling screws, and machine screws. They have wide heads, a flat bearing surface, high vertical, chamfered, or curved sides, and a flat or slightly domed top surface with a recessed socket.
