Trilobular form of the thread guaranties a perfect unionbetween the screw and the
created nut.
The point with double-anglepermits an easy installation of thescrew and ensures a formation of
thread with a low tightening torque.

ROLOKROLOK
- Special thread permits doing high performance fastenings on thin plates (steel and aluminium).
-High resistance to tightening torque.
- Form of the screw end provokes an extrusion of the plate that forms an elongation ahd arenforcement of the threaded part of the plate.
-Resists to unscrewing by vibration thanks to trilobular form.
- Reduction of costs : use of nuts and notched washers is avoided.
