Our Duo-Taptite Trilobular thread-forming screws roll form strong and uniform internal load carrying threads. Our extensive manufacturing plants, equipped with a range of single and multi-die heading machines, allow us to offer customized solutions to clients with demanding fastening requirements. We can manufacture Duo-Taptite thread-forming screws in lengths up to 4.75 inches, with pitch values ranging from 32 tpi through 20 tpi. The self aligning capability of our Duo-Taptite screws minimizes misalignment at the beginning of every driving operation.

Our Taptite 2000 line of external thread-forming screws roll-form high integrity mating threads in ductile metals, die castings, and punch extruded metals upon initial installation. All our thread forming fasteners incorporate a three-lobed thread form that helps in reducing burrs and chips, as well as tapping costs. Taptite 2000 screws can be manufactured with nominal diameters ranging from 4 mm to 12 mm, and in lengths up to 4.75. Based on your specific fastening requirements, we can manufacture thread forming screws with pitch values ranging from 32 threads per inch (tpi) through 20 tpi. Our thread forming screws are manufactured according to IFI, SAE, and other widely recognized automotive standards. The proprietary Trilobular and Radius Profile design configurations of Taptite 2000 screws makes these easy-to-assemble thread forming fasteners perfect for your high strip-out plus high axial alignment applications.

Adhering to the highest quality standards, we manufacture Powerlok Trilobular thread forming screws suitable for fastening applications in several industries, including automotive, telecommunication, marine, and construction. Our Powerlok line of self locking fasteners can be used for assembly operations in pre-tapped holes, punch extruded metals, and die castings. Powerlok self locking screws can be manufactured in lengths up to 4.75, with nominal diameters of up to 12mm. Besides standard dimensions, we can also manufacture thread forming screws in a range of sizes, according to your specific assembly requirements. The superior locking ability of our Powerlok screws can be attributed to its innovative 60 - 30 thread-form angle design. Our Powerlok self locking screws, produced from carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel materials, can minimize the need for supplementary locking features, like adhesives and patches, in fastening applications. The high temperature plus stripping resistance characteristics of our Powerlok self locking fasteners makes them perfect for assembling parts used under high clamp load and severe vibration conditions.

Equipped with a number of cold forming header equipment spread across two facilities, fabricating a variety of fasteners, especially Step Taper fasteners with CA points, is not a problem for us. This fastener is available in a range of materials, including stainless steel and alloy steel, with any finish that you require. Production of fasteners in different sizes is no constraint and our fasteners are available in lengths that range from 14 through 4. Step Taper fasteners are useful for extremely rapid hole-finding and applications where floating nut members are used. Other areas where this type of fasteners are handy include applications where the pilot holes are initially out of line or the fastener is required to pierce a sheet of material, such as a gasket or carpet.
