- Self-Aligning Design: MAThread® incorporates a unique self-aligning feature into the lead-in point and starting threads of the fastener.
- Industry Recognition: MAThread® is listed in General Motors Worldwide Standards, is being incorporated into Chrysler/Mercedes Benz standards, and is used by Ford Motor Company.
- Proven Performance: With over 1 billion installations, MAThread® has demonstrated its ability to:
- Eliminate cross-threading
- Ease assembly processes
- Align components automatically
- Overcome issues with clogged internal threads
- How It Works:
- The versatile design allows for various point shapes to suit specific applications
- As threads make contact, the patented anti-cross thread feature cams over the female thread
- The MAThread® forces thread helix alignment every time, ensuring smooth and easy driving
- Specifications:
- Available in metric sizes M3.5-M16 and inch sizes #6-5/8
- Lengths up to 5" (per customer requirements)
- Compatible with all head styles, finishes, and materials (including soft copper)
MAThread® technology makes every assembly job user-friendly, offering unmatched anti-cross-thread performance and the ability to overcome issues like paint buildup in internal threads.
MAThread® Technology
Specialty Screw Corp. is proud to be a licensed manufacturer of MAThread® and MATpoint® fasteners. This innovative technology offers significant advantages in assembly applications:
TORX® Technology
The TORX® Drive System was specifically designed to provide a simple, cost-effective solution to the problems inherent in the process of installing and removing fasteners. Used in a multitude of industries, the TORX® Drive System can enhance product reliability, increase productivity and reduce total assembly costs - all if which are keys to remaining competitive in today’s marketplace.
FEATURES:
- 15 ̊ drive angle
- Straight, vertical sidewalls
- Broad contact surface
- Standard drive tools for screw sizes inch (#000 - 1.375”) and metric (0.9mm - 36mm)
- Wide variety of sizes ranging from T1-T100, E4-E44
BENEFITS:
- Greater depth of tool and lobe engagement while minimizing tool slippage
- No camout forces are created to push the driver up
- Since camout is virtually eliminated, little to no end load is required
- High torque transfer and drastically reduced radial forces resulting in longer tool life
- Driving forces spread over a broad surface
- Ability to convert to metric later without a tooling change
- Quality enhanced through single sourced gaging program
