A self-locking fastener uses a spring-loaded cam lever to secure components without tools.
Quadratic and Archimedean lobe relief curves reduce friction torque and heat generation during high-speed tapping of hard materials.
A tapping tool with a broaching blade forms a peripheral groove to allow the thread profile to rotate without stress.
An integral orbital end mill cutting head merges roughing, semi-finishing, and finishing edges to eliminate insert loosening from vibration.
An abrasive machining tool taps threads in composite material walls using friction to prevent fiber tearing and delamination during hole formation.
A drill stop sleeve with a locking collar adjusts along the bit to set precise drilling depths.
