Thread Rolling and Thread Cutting

Thread Rolled components have fibres that are not interrupted, they have better mechanical features. The tensile strength of rolled threads is considerably higher than cut or ground threads. Thread cutting involves using standard bar or blanks which is cheaper than using effective diameter material which is needed for thread rolling bar. If thread rolling tube, the thread 'collapses' into the bore. Contact us for video clips of examples of machines.
