A Taptite screw is a high-performance screw that does not require a female thread. A similar screw is called a tapping screw, but its shape and characteristics are different. A normal screw consists of a bolt, called a male thread, and a nut, called a female thread. Both of these threads are combined to fasten the screw. However, a Taptite screw does not require a female thread. Because of its shape, it can be fastened directly to the mating side by applying a female thread when tightening.
Taptite screws are used in various places because of their high performance. For example, they are used in situations where high workability is required. Since a female screw is not required, the Taptite screw can be used alone for fastening, thereby increasing work efficiency. Also, since the torque is relatively small, the burden of fastening is low. They are used for plastics and thin plates. On the other hand, they are not suitable for cases where removal is required. This is because it is highly effective in preventing loosening, and once fastened, it is difficult to remove the fastener.
Taptite screws have excellent features due to their unique shape.
Like the tapping screw, the Taptite screw has a simple structure, but the shaft part is characterized by a triangle in the shape of a ball. The apex of the triangle pushes the mating side apart to form a female thread. This structure of has several excellent features.
