EGMF thread

What is an EGMF Thread?

An EGMF thread is a special metric fine thread designed specifically for installing thread inserts such as Helicoil inserts. This thread profile allows for the repair of damaged or worn fine threads and also improves the durability and reliability of the threaded connection.

Characteristics of the EGMF Thread

The EGMF thread has precisely defined dimensions and tolerances that differ from standard metric threads. This specialized sizing ensures a precise fit for thread inserts and guarantees the strength of the connection. EGMF threads are especially used when the original fine thread is damaged or when an exceptionally durable threaded joint is needed.

Use of the EGMF Thread in the Machine Shop Industry

Machine shops and manufacturing facilities make extensive use of EGMF threads for installing thread inserts. This method makes it possible to repair worn fine threads without having to replace the entire component. Additionally, EGMF threads enhance the durability of threaded joints in softer materials, such as aluminum, which is especially beneficial in the work of machinists.
