Spiralock Corporation - Product Announcements

In addition to the basic benefits of the unique Spiralock thread, the Spiralock V-band nut designed to mate with a V-band clamp features added overall height for greater thread engagement, longer wrenching surface, free-spinning rundown and bearing face designed to fit clamping device. (read more)

Similarly to Spiralock tanged wire thread inserts, our Drive Notch Wire Thread Inserts install into an STI tapped hole and accept standard bolts. In addition to being resistant to loosening under vibration, shock and thermal extremes, DN™ Wire Thread Inserts offer the following benefits...... (read more)

This style tap is the basic tapping tool of the industry and can be used to tap most materials. For high production applications this basic style is best used for tapping tough steels, stainless steels and bronze (except the free-cutting grades of bronze or brass). The plug chamfer is the most widely used. (read more)

The Spiralock thread form tools are also available in Thread Milling Cutters, for jobs where larger thread diameters are required. (read more)

Are you experiencing threaded joint problems in your products due to:

- Vibration loosening?

- Costly warranty issues?

- Using messy thread locking adhesives or prevailing torque fasteners?

- Inability to service threaded joints?

The solution to these problems is the unique Spiralock self-locking, reusable screw thread. (read more)

Spiralock wire thread inserts are made of 300 series austenitic stainless steel and are supplied unplated, unless specified otherwise. Cadmium plating (per QQ-P-416, Type II) can be requested by adding a 301 suffix to the basic EDP number (example: 96070-301).

Silver plating is available for made to order inserts. (read more)

Self-clinching floating fasteners provide load-bearing threads in thin sheets and permit up to 0.030in (0.8mm) adjustment for mating hole misalignment. (read more)

These inserts are designed for use in tapered holes, which allows for rapid and accurate alignment prior to installation. With the use of high-frequency vibrations generating frictional heat at the metal to plastic interface, the plastic melts slightly and flows into the knurled serrations, barbs and undercuts.

In addition to the basic benefits of the unique Spiralock thread, the Spiralock Double Hex (12-point) Nut which is primarily used in aerospace applications is a thin-walled, light weight, high-dimensional precision fastener that offers reduced rounding over the corner, reduced stripping or damaging of the hex, high bearing face accuracy and high-strength alloy steel. (read more)

Spiralock captive washer nut offers controlled friction on the bearing surface to guarantee a tight fit regardless of surface finish of the mating component. It also reduces tightening friction (k-factor) to yield more clamp load and it provides protection of the bearing surface from tightening damage. (read more)

In addition to the basic benefits of the unique Spiralock thread such as vibration loosening resistance, reusability, elimination of secondary locking devices, improvement in quality and joint fatigue life and reduction of costs, this nut is equivalent to MS21042 and MS21043 except for the prevailing torque feature which is replaced by the Spiralock locking thread technology.

Standard Spiralock nuts are SAE Grade 8 equivalent, and designed to mate with standard 2A and 3A class of fit bolts. (read more)
