What are Thread Rolling Screws?

Thread rolling screws are designed for reliable and secure fastening into materials such as plastic and sheet metal. They have a trilobular lobed cross-section and form threads in pre-existing holes by pushing material outward during installation.
When installed in sheet metal, thread rolling screws often require an extruded hole; the extrusion forms a lead-in and provides extra length for improved retention. Thread rolling screws are popular for applications where the loose chips formed by thread cutting processes must be avoided.

Thread Rolling Screw Advantages

Thread rolling screws provide a versatile and efficient fastener solution designed to create threads in the materials they are driven into.

Thread rolling screw benefits include:

• Eliminates the need for tapping tools
• Reduces risk of stripping during installation
• Creates stronger joints due to the work-hardening of material
• Strong and secure threads
• Material compatibility
• Vibration resistance
• Eco-friendly
