Product Overview
Manufacture precision power screws and linear actuators with our Metric Trapezoidal (TR) laydown threading inserts. Compliant with DIN 103 standards, these carbide threading inserts produce a robust 30° thread profile essential for transmitting power in machine tools, jacks, and valve stems.
Featuring a “Full Profile” geometry, these tools cut the thread groove and finish the crest diameter in a single operation. This ensures the thread profile is accurate and smooth, reducing friction and wear in the final assembly.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Load Capacity: The 30° angle provides superior strength for heavy axial loads compared to standard 60° threads.
- The 16ER Solution: Our 16er threading inserts (3/8″ / 9.525mm I.C.) efficiently handle pitches from 1.5mm to 3.0mm, fitting standard ISO holders.
- Heavy Duty Capability: For coarser pitches like 4.0mm to 7.0mm, we utilize larger 1/2″ (12.7mm) and 5/8″ (15.875mm) I.C. inserts to ensure tool rigidity and prevent chatter.
- Directional Options: We offer comprehensive solutions, including standard right-hand tools and left hand thread insert models (e.g., 16EL 3.0 TR) often required for bi-directional lead screws.
