TAPTITE® thread-forming fasteners offer many significant performance and cost-savings advantages over traditional machine screws. Here are some ways that a TAPTITE® fastener can immediately improve the efficiency of bolted joints in your product assembly.
TAPTITE® screws completely eliminate the need for pre-tapping holes in assemblies. As a result, all the related costs associated with tapping and can result in dramatic cost savings related to assembly. The drilling, tapping, and cleaning of threaded holes are eliminated, along with the process and product costs of supporting those processes.
TAPTITE® fasteners thread directly into the housing or backing plate of an assembly. This removes external nuts and washers from the assembly, saving both cost and weight in the bolted joint.
The TRILOBULAR™ cross-sectional shape of all TAPTITE® products is inherently vibration resistant. This design feature provides a mechanical connection with the nut member that successfully resists vibrational loosening. Lock washers, chemical adhesives and patches are no longer required to ensure a vibration-resistant joint.
These are just a few of the many ways that a TAPTITE® fastener can immediately improve the performance and lower the cost of your assembly. For a more comprehensive list, please review the document 54 ways that REMINC | CONTI Fasteners save on costs.
