EMUGE-FRANKEN USA has recently announced the expansion of its SELF-LOCK™ Threading Tools line with additional THREADS-ALL™ / AERO thread mills. The expansion includes fourteen new 2×D sizes ranging from #5-40 to 1″-12, as well as, for the first time, thirty 3×D sizes 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.
“Offering a proven thread design that has been successfully working in thousands of safety critical applications, we are pleased to provide a substantially broadened line,” said Marlon Blandon, Thread Milling Product Manager, EMUGE-FRANKEN USA. “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.
