  1. Self-Aligning Design: MAThread® incorporates a unique self-aligning feature into the lead-in point and starting threads of the fastener.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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

VARIATIONS:

  • Internal TORX® Drive
  • External TORX® Drive
  • TORX® TAMPER RESISTANT Drive
