EFC International Offers Latest In Thread Locking Technology
November 30, 2011 – St. Louis, MO – EFC International, a leading provider of specialty engineered fastener component parts, now has the latest wave in thread locking technology. The Shakeproof® Thread, a part of ITW’s new WERCS® Technology, uses a curve in the helix of the thread at every 4th pitch to create mechanical interference at precise points along the trailing flanks of mating threads. This joint tension in the body of the screw represents a better value compared to custom placed nylon patches, prevailing torque nuts, or permanent locking alternatives.
The Shakeproof® Thread functions in any standard tapped hole and can be qualified using Go/No-Go thread gauges. The Shakeproof® Thread is reusable to allow ease of service while preserving thread integrity and still providing consistent performance with increased cycle life.
EFC offers professional engineering support and free samples in 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, and 1/2 inch diameters to help you validate the Shakeproof® Thread as a solution for your customer.
EFC International is an ISO 9001:2008-certified leading provider of specialty metal and plastic components, fasteners, and clamping technologies to OEM and Distributor markets. As a Master Distributor, EFC offers its customers a “One Source Solution” for engineered specialty fasteners and components, provides a high level of engineering and technical product support, and has strategically located, full-service warehouses throughout North America, as well as an E-commerce site for on-line sales of product.
