Emuge-Franken USA, a leading 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 14 new 2 x D sizes from #5-40 to 1”-12, and offered for the first time, 30 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.
“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.
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.
