Threading tools line for safety critical applications

The Self-Lock Threading Tools Line from Emuge-Franken USA has been expanded to include additional Threads-All/AERO Thread Mills, including fourteen new 2 x D sizes from #5-40 to 1"-12, and offered for the first time, thirty 3 x D sizes ranging from #2-56 to 1"-12. 

Also, the Emuge High Ramp Precision Thread Gages Line for gaging Emuge Self-Lock thread profiles has also been expanded.

Emuge Threads-All / Aero Self-Lock Thread Mills feature helical flutes, multiple teeth and TIALN-T46 coating, producing self-locking threads that are ideal in demanding industry applications such as aerospace where nickel alloys, titanium and stainless steel are the norm. A unique design enables three tooth pitches to simultaneously rough and finish-cut threads, dramatically increasing tool life and reducing cycle times.

For high-stress situations, Self-Lock produces an internal thread that yields a self-locking screw connection that can be used repeatedly.” The special profile of the Self-Lock thread allows an even distribution of stress over the entire thread length, eliminating slippage.

Other Emuge Self-Lock products include UNC and UNF Cut Taps, UNC and UNF Form Taps; Metric Cut Taps, Metric Form Taps and Metric Thread Mills, in addition to a full line of GO/ NO-GO Thread Gages.

  • alloys

    alloys

    Substances having metallic properties and being composed of two or more chemical elements of which at least one is a metal.

  • flutes

    flutes

    Grooves and spaces in the body of a tool that permit chip removal from, and cutting-fluid application to, the point of cut.

  • threading

    threading

    Process of both external (e.g., thread milling) and internal (e.g., tapping, thread milling) cutting, turning and rolling of threads into particular material. Standardized specifications are available to determine the desired results of the threading process. Numerous thread-series designations are written for specific applications. Threading often is performed on a lathe. Specifications such as thread height are critical in determining the strength of the threads. The material used is taken into consideration in determining the expected results of any particular application for that threaded piece. In external threading, a calculated depth is required as well as a particular angle to the cut. To perform internal threading, the exact diameter to bore the hole is critical before threading. The threads are distinguished from one another by the amount of tolerance and/or allowance that is specified. See turning.
