K-TITE high-performance thread rolling fasteners are specially designed to lower your in-place fastening costs. K-TITE fasteners form internal threads into plain holes in ductile materials upon initial installation, which: • Eliminates the need to pre-tap the nut member • Reduces problems associated with assembling screws and bolts into pre-tapped holes, such as cross-threading

FEATURES AND BENEFITS Enhancement when compared with Polymate30: • The re-designed geometrical flank allows for the optimized movement of plastic material while initiating the fastening procedure. • Under static and dynamic stress, a considerable increase is ensured in the service life of the joint. • At the same nominal diameter, up to 50% gain in torsional and tensile strength. • As there are a larger core and reduction in the thread pitch length, shorter fasteners and/or smaller diameters may be used. • Improved pitch provides added vibrational safety.

A Captive Screw can be locked in place on a parent component without being fastened to a child component - Captive Screws are typically locked in place via thread locking, press-fitting or broaching - Captive Screws help control costs by minimizing damage to machinery from loose screws and by reducing the need for replacement fasteners - Captive Screws allows for easier and more efficient repairs due to quick access to components - Captive Screws prevents damage from loose screws falling into moving parts or electrical circuits as well as the loss of screws - Captive Screws also provide longer durability as they do not cause damage to the application after usage cycles; they are permanent, yet allow access into the application

The Micro Screw range consists of self-tapping and metric standard screws along with metric threads according to customer-specific applications. When the trend is to minimize the size and weight, these durable and small dimensioned screws provide the required competitive advantage where even the smallest gram and millimeter counts. FEATURES & BENEFITS • Diameter range of M 0.8 – M 2.6 • Lengths reaching up to 10x the thread diameter • Capability of various thread heads • Reliability with 50ppm • Thread-forming of even the smallest components for direct assembly • Cost-effective as additional inserts and add-ons are redundant • Time effective as cycle times are minimized in work-flow • Assembly is possible in the smallest of installation spaces • Available in plastic, light metal, and steel materials for use in automated assembly The Micro Screw is available as self-tapping, metric standard as well as customer-specific applications with metric threads.
