EMUGE-FRANKEN expands SELF-LOCK threading tool line for safety critical applications

EMUGE-FRANKEN has expanded its line of SELF-LOCK thread locking tools to include new ZGF-S-Cut thread mills, in addition to high ramp precision thread gages designed for gaging SELF-LOCK thread profiles.

The new thread mills with helical flutes, multiple teeth and TIALN-T46 coating produce self-locking threads. A unique design enables three tooth pitches to simultaneously rough and finish-cut threads.

The self-locking thread mills have a left-hand helix flute design with left-hand spindle rotation. The first of three cutting teeth acts as a rougher, while the second and third teeth finish the full thread profile. TIALN-T46 coating resists heat and wear. The thread mills are available in 16 sizes from 2-56 up to ½-20 in. for UNC or UNF threads, and tools starting at the 0.25 in. size and larger feature axial coolant capability.

The high ramp precision NO-GO thread plug gages are used to check the lower thread ramp point for possible ramp angle errors and are used along with standard thread plug gages to verify all thread profile features.
