Threading tools line expanded for safety critical applications

EMUGE-FRANKEN USA, manufacturer of high-performance taps, thread mills, end mills, drills, gages, other rotary tools, and precision clamping solutions has announced the expansion of its SELF-LOCK Threading Tools Line with 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. EMUGE SELF-LOCK Threading Tools also provide high quality thread locking for applications in the medical, transportation, marine, communications, and energy industries.

“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,” says 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.

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.
