 Tap R®

Benefits of the Tap/R thread forming screw include:

•Taps its own perfectly mated threads without cross-threading
•First screw to provide a 360 degree thread engagement
•Removes paint and debris from the pilot hole
 
   
 TapTite® & Taptite® II

•The unique tri-lobular shape of the Taptite screw forms a mating thread in an unthreaded pilot hole
•The threads are work hardened as they are formed, providing a strong joint or assembly
•By elastic recovery, the metal fills in behind the triangular lobes to provide maximum contact and a secure assembly.

The tri-lobular shape of the screw shank:
• Reduces friction during driving to assure low driving torque
• Generates a prevailing torque that exceeds the level of a locking screw
 
   
 Cyclone® Tapping Screws

•Serrated helical shoulder bites into sheet metal
•Absorbs higher tightening torque
•Has an increased backout resistance
 
   
 Hurricane Anti-Strip Screw

•Perfect for this sheet metal or aluminum
•Dramatically decreases strip-out during installation
•Underhead feature creates a positive torque-break
 
   
 GX® Self-Extruding Screws

•Extrudes thin sheet metal upwards and downwards
•Increased thread engagement and torque absorption
•Underhead grounding ring creates a positive ground by cutting through paint and coatings; meets U.L. standards
 
   
 Cyclone® Teks®

The Cyclone Teks combines a self-drilling point and an undercut head with a serrated helical shoulder to absorb high driving torque, making it the complete fastener for sheet metal thicknesses ranging from .015" to .110".

The unique combination of metal drilling and torque absorption provides a greatly increased safe operation range between drive and strip torques

A chart is available that compares the drive/strip torque between a standard Teks and Cyclone Teks using #8 and #10 x 1/2 Hex Washer Head parts.
 
   
 Stems®

Designed for plastic-to- metal assembly applications, the preassembled washer has a unique standoff column that bears against the metal tapping plate, protecting the bearing surface of any soft or resilient mating material.
 
   
 SSX Field Ready

This high performance screw adds additional value to your products. The unique thread have been developed utilizing the ITW WERCS® thread forming technology.

Threaded fasteners can be pre-assembled to any given position. Now fasteners can be assembled in an "open" or "Field Ready" position.

The sinusoidal thread pitch can be positioned at any place along the thread of the fastener and can be controlled by both amplitude and duration.

The SSX Field Ready:
• Functions in standard tapped holes without damaging mating threads
• Is Reusable with consistent, repeatable performance
• Is available in standard machine screw sizes
 
   
 SSX SinuLOC

The SSX SinLOCTMaddresses the continuing need to enhance a machine screw`s ability to stay secure for the life of the joint.

Prevailing torque lock nuts and a nylon patch or pellet are a popular and costly solution until now. The SinuLOC screw utilizes the ITW WERCS® thread forming technology to provide you with a machine screw that stays secure without the added cost associated with a nylon patch.

A precision curve added to the helix of the screw threads is placed at any place throughout the body of the screw threads.

The calculated combination of pressure and location ensures that there is added performance with no damage to the threads.

The unique, tunable feature does not deform the pressure flank of the female thread, therefore it can be reused and create predictable torque tension in the joint.
 
   
 TEKS® Self-Drilling Screws

•Perfect for drilling into thick and thin sheet metal
•Forms close mating threads
•Creates perfectly sized-holes
