Product Overview
The Precision Rolled Nut is a high-grade nut manufactured through a cold-forming precision rolling process. This technique forms threads by displacing material rather than cutting it, resulting in a continuous, unbroken grain flow that follows the thread contour. This significantly enhances the nut’s mechanical strength, fatigue resistance, and dimensional consistency compared to machined alternatives. It is engineered for critical applications demanding reliable, high-clamp-force bolted joints.
Key Features & Benefits
Superior Mechanical Properties: The cold-rolling process work-hardens the material and creates a dense, uninterrupted grain structure, offering higher tensile and fatigue strength.
Exceptional Thread Accuracy: Produces threads with precise pitch, flank angle, and lead, ensuring smooth engagement and optimal load distribution. Compliant with ISO (International), DIN (German), and ASME (American) thread standards.
Excellent Surface Finish: Rolled threads have a smoother, harder surface than cut threads, reducing friction during installation and improving corrosion resistance.
Material & Cost Efficiency: The process minimizes material waste (no chips) and allows for high-volume, consistent production, offering excellent value for performance-critical applications.
Consistent Quality: Automated production ensures uniform mechanical properties and dimensions across large batches.
