MEPTITE

Special Screws for Steel and Aluminium

The Menschel MEPTITE screw forms female thread itself in cast blind holes, in rim holes and punched metal parts, without any cutting steps whatsoever in the casting, the steel or sheet steel, in iron, aluminium, brass, copper etc. Thread cutting is no longer necessary. Extensive assembly steps are significantly reduced, thus minimizing cycle time and costs.

MEPTITE displaces the material around the thread without any loss of material whatsoever, since the female thread is grooved. In this way, with the MEPTITE screw, no clearance is required and there are no protusions. Also no swarf is created. There is no destruction of the fibre orientation, as occurs with thread cutting. The thread is cold hardened. The connection between the nut and the female thread guarantees low risk of tearing so that the screw connection is extremely firm.

If it is necessary to loosen the screw at any time the thread is not affected in any way. The screw can be re-inserted and tightened once again no matter whether it is a MEPTITE or any other metric screw.
