Thread Forming Screws for Metal

Thread forming screws for metal offer a means to avoid bolt and nut assemblies, inserts, and other threaded solutions for light metal bosses. A pre-drilled hole allows the thread forming screw to hold assemblies without creating shavings which can occur with thread cutting screws.

Apex Fasteners offers the Trilobular™ family of products developed by REMINC for production orders. This includes the Taptite®, Taptite II®, Duo-Taptite®, Extrude-Tite®, Pushtite II®, Magtite® 2000, and Kleertite® screws, all manufactured under license. Apex also offers the REMFORM® "F" screw.

Taptite®

The Taptite® thread-rolling screw produces strong threads in drilled, punched, or cored holes. The Trilobular™ shape provides for low drive torque, a high strip to drive ratio and excellent resistance to vibration.
Availability: Replaced by Taptite II®.

Taptite II®

The Taptite II® thread rolling screw is a further development of the original Taptite®. It provides for a more efficient manufacturing method and tool design which results in a more consistent product. The design allows for more consistent torque performance, lower thread forming torque and a lower end load necessary to initiate thread forming than the original Taptite®.

Duo-Taptite®

The Duo-Taptite® thread-rolling screw has a generous lobulous lead for easy entry and optimum forming action and less lobulation in the body of the fastener for increased holding power. The design provides for easy entry, positive alignment, and consistent starting stability along with a higher strip to drive ratio, higher prevailing torque, and excellent strip resistance.

Extrude-Tite®

These screws are produced with a gimlet point for use when clearance holes and pilot holes are not in line. This Extrude-Tite® has less Trilobular™ shape in the body of the screw. Typically, both of these screws are used in applications that require extremely rapid hole finding, when pilot holes are often out of alignment, or when a sheet of material must be pierced, such as a gasket.

Magtite® 2000

MAGTITE® 2000™ screws are TRILOBULAR® thread forming screws designed expressly for fastening magnesium die castings. Magnesium presents difficulties in the area of fastening, especially when using thread-forming fasteners. MAGTITE® 2000™ screws have a TRILOBULAR® body configured to suit the low elasticity of magnesium, and a broad Radius Profile™ thread, which forms internal threads primarily by compressing the magnesium. The compression action of the Radius Profile™ thread results in little to no debris generated during the thread-forming process in this friable material.

KLEERTITE®

KLEERTITE® fasteners are a debris-clearing TRILOBULAR® screw for joints where a locking screw is not desired. Like their KLEERLOK® cousins, KLEERTITE® fasteners have the same ability to clear threads in pre-tapped holes contaminated with weld splatter, paint, primer or other foreign matter. When configured as such, the KLEERTITE® fastener can be used in a pre-tapped hole with less prevailing torque than the KLEERLOK® fastener.

REMFORM® F™

Designed primarily for magnesium applications, the REMFORM® "F" Screw utilizes the efficient thread form of the standard REMFORM® fastener, but employs finer thread pitch spacing to suit magnesium, soft aluminum, thermoset plastics, and other low ductility materials. The narrow tip angle minimizes the disturbance of low ductility nut member materials, yet engages securely, and creates strong internal threads.
