Conventional Products
＜Issues＞
Standard Bolt
・Tapping process is needed on the mating parts.
Standard tapping screw
・The longer nominal length of screw is, the larger tightening torque becomes.

- Cost Index
- 100 (Piece price and process cost included)
Tapping Bolt
＜Feature＞
・Stable tightening torque (tightening axial force) as the frictions between bolt and tapped mating thread and tightening torque stay low.
・Unlike originally tapping screw which is case-hardened, Tapping Bolt is through hardened and therefore axial force can be managed.
