ROLOK® fasteners

 

 

 

ROLOK® fasteners offer improved drive-to-strip ratios compared with other common thread rolling designs.

Performance in Unique Applications

ROLOK® fasteners have been proven to be especially useful in aluminum C-channels and other similar designs due to their spiral profile body, which gives improved engagement and more repeatable performance. Additionally, the improved bearing surface at the shoulder/thread transition radius has proven beneficial when used as a compression-limiting shoulder bolt.

Performance in Unique Applications

Heat Treatment

  • Case hardening is considered the standard heat treatment for ROLOK® fasteners in general steel applications. (Core RC 28-38, Surface RC 45 Minimum)
  • Through hardening may be used for applications in “soft white” metals such as aluminum or zinc alloys.
  • Induction hardening should be used to address high-strength or structural safety steel applications.

 

Coatings and Platings

Various coating and plating options can be applied to ROLOK® fasteners to meet specific customer requirements for corrosion resistance and joint performance.
