Type: | Tri-Lobular Screw |
Definition: | Trilobular Screw has the trilobular shape, which provides resistance to vibrational loosening and reduces friction during thread forming. |
Description: | Trilobular Screw reduces friction during thread forming, provides prevailing torque, which exceeds the level of locking screws, and most importantly, inherently provides resistance to vibrational loosening. The reason why Tri-Lobe Screws are created is because when fastening the screw it does not leave chips or damage metal. |
Application: | It is great to assemble Tri-Lobe Screws into electronics or mechanical areas. Some other common places to see a Tri-Lobe Screw are on bicycles. Tri-Lobe screws are also best at resisting vibration over long periods of time and due to the triangular threads. Tri-Lobe Screws are made in various types of materials ranging from carbon steel, stainless steel to titanium. Mostly Tri-Lobe Screws are given a zinc or black oxide coating. Some other customers may also request CR+3 coatings. |
Others: | Tri-Lobe Screws are mostly driven in slowly into an object to create a uniform torque in the pilot hole. |
