The images below show the benefits you can get from a shorter, narrower fastener by comparing our TMP and TMPD screws. Replacement screw A is shorter. Replacement screw B is narrower. In both cases, the reduced pitch that can be achieved with our TMPD screw enables us to maintain the thread flank. This helps to contain material costs because the reduced diameter or length of the hub can be achieved without reducing the performance of the joint.
The advanced flank design provides optimal thread forming without damaging the plastic. In-depth analysis of the thread forming and related impact on the material has enabled us to achieve the optimal flank geometry. As the material deforms, we see lower resistance, which, in turn, prevents the sort of friction that can generate heat.
