Product Overview
Master heavy-duty power transmission applications with our Metric TR U-Type laydown threading inserts. While standard tools are suitable for fine pitches, these robust U-Type inserts are designed specifically for the aggressive material removal required to cut coarse Trapezoidal threads (DIN 103).
Featuring a large I.C. (Inner Circle), these carbide threading inserts provide the structural mass necessary to machine pitches up to 12mm without vibration. This makes them the essential upgrade from the standard 16er threading insert when tackling large-diameter spindles and lead screws.
Key Features & Benefits
- Extreme Load Handling: The expanded surface area of the U-Type design dissipates heat and stress, ensuring tool life in heavy steel cutting.
- Massive Pitch Range: Capable of machining 12.0mm pitches, far exceeding the 3.0mm limit of a typical 16er threading insert.
- Precision Form: Full Profile geometry cuts the groove and tops the crest, delivering a precise 30° angle for smooth mechanical movement.
-
Directional Options: We offer a complete inventory including left hand thread insert models (e.g., 33U EL 12 TR) for bi-directional screw manufacturing.
