EMUGE Self-Lock Taps provide a special self-locking internal thread form. Locking is affected by a unique wedge ramp integrated in the female thread. When clamp load is applied, the crests of the male threads are wedged tightly against the ramp angle of the female thread. This creates a continuous spiral contact along the entire length of thread engagement. This makes transverse movement of the bolt impossible, which makes it impossible for the pitch friction to become cancelled. Self-Lock threads mate with standard bolts manufactured within Class 2 fit tolerance without the need for costly and ineffective inserts or epoxy coatings.. Special benefits include:

  • Cost effectiveness
  • Reusability
  • Ease of assembly
  • Uniform distribution of load

For pitch less than or equal to 0.7mm (p < 0.7mm), EMUGE produces a special modified Self-Lock profile, the sawtooth profile. Gauging. Special thread gauges are available for the Self-Lock Tap. Designs. BT-Type is for normal entry of the threaded fastener and assumes entry from the same direction as the tap entry. The TT-Type should be utilized when entry of the threaded fastener is opposite that of the tap entry
