Invention & Patent News: Van Cor Threads with Total Surface Contact | FastenerJournal

Article by · 2015/10/21 ·

 

Safety, predictability and convenience. The next technological development that will add to our quality of life. For a

technology to have such broad strokes, it has to be basic and used everywhere. The breakthrough is in physical

connections that are total surface contact threads. Normally, mechanical threads have 30 to 35 percent contact. Total

surface contact prevents threads from moving, so it transmits vibration instead of loosening; it is a seal that conducts

heat efficiently. Combined, these factors reduce fatigue, so they last longer.
