There is often a risk of thread damage due to cross-threading as a result of assembly-related angular and axial deviations of the screw and nut thread. These are seizure phenomena in the first threads of the bolt and/or nut, which can render entire components unusable. A special flank geometry of the first threads is characteristic. There are basically two variants here: MAThread® and MATpoint®.
Screws with an axial offset of up to 12° can be screwed in quickly and easily. Disruptions in the work process are drastically reduced. Additional costs due to incorrect screwing are eliminated. This saves costs in the long term, especially with manual feeding.
With the now commonly used MAThread® design, this dimension is 2¼ x P. This means that the total length of the screw can be slightly shorter while still maintaining nearly the same function.
The length of this specific section is 3 x P for MATpoint®, where P is the thread pitch of the respective thread.
1. misalignment (attachment point)
The patented MAThread® tip is optimally suited to ensure that the screw is securely positioned up to an axial misalignment of 12°.
2. thread threads in
When the threads touch, the patented MAThread® thread threads automatically and brings the screw into the optimum screw-in position.
3. screwing-in process
The MAThread® thread aligns the two threads optimally at all times. This makes them easier to screw in with less effort. The assembly process is safer and more efficient.
WSH MAThread® / MATpoint® are combined with application-optimized thread ends such as crests, points or studs. This results in special variants that optimize your processes and thus deliver cost benefits.
For difficult applications where the space required for a spigot is not an issue. This version should be used if several components are to be screwed together at the same time.
Suitable for most applications. Not to be used if heavy components have to be positioned during screwing in.
For all difficult applications in which components have to be positioned during screwing in.
The short version (VS = very short) is ideal for applications where there is no space for the stud. The thread can block if the screw-in angle deviates more than 8° from the nut thread.
For customer-specific applications, we redraw your very special screw geometry. This means that you not only receive a product that is a good fit for your application, but one that is perfectly tailored to it.
