Roll form taps - UFS Srl

The UFS technical brochure is dedicated to families of roll form taps, designed for chipless thread forming by plastic deformation, ideal for producing threads with high mechanical strength and superior surface quality.

A practical resource that brings together the most high-performing solutions for chipless threading on materials with good ductility, where process control, torsional strength and tool life are critical factors. The range includes forming taps for blind and through holes, available with or without lubrication grooves, as well as in versions with internal coolant supply FOR (axial) and FORY (radial), developed to optimize the delivery of cutting fluid, improve lubrication and enhance heat dissipation during CNC operations.

Manufactured in high-strength PM8 steel, with coatings such as TiN and AHI, these thread forming tools are suitable for applications on steels, stainless steel, aluminium and copper alloys, ensuring compact threads and longer tool life compared to conventional cutting tapping, on materials up to Rm 1200 N/mm². Available in DIN 371 and DIN 376 executions, with 6HX tolerance, they ensure reliability and precision in industrial production processes.

Thanks to the QR codes included in the technical tables, users can quickly access the UFS B2B portal to check availability, consult detailed technical data and identify alternative or complementary solutions.

A professional tool for those seeking efficiency, thread quality and production continuity in roll forming operations on CNC machines, supported by the full technical expertise of UFS in industrial threading solutions.

P2SC T

Thread rolling taps without lubrication grooves, tolerances 6HX, for blind and through holes. Based on the principle of plastic deformation, they produce no chips and generate a very strong thread. Recommended for thin sheet metal, soft materials with high deformation, and light aluminium and copper alloys. In general, these taps are suitable for materials with a tensile strength Rm < 850 N/mm² and a minimum elongation coefficient of 10%. The torque is 1.5–2 times higher than that of metal cutting taps.

P3SC T

Like the previous P2SC but with 6GX tolerance, therefore for applications where subsequent galvanizing treatment is expected, or similar, which require a higher tolerance than 6HX.

P2CC T

Roll taps with coolant grooves for blind and through holes, tolerances 6HX, 2BX, ISO22X. Based on the principle of plastic deformation, they do not produce chips and create highly durable threads. Recommended for steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloys with Si content <10%, and copper. Generally suitable for medium-strength materials, with an elongation coefficient above 10% and a tensile strength Rm <850 N/mm². The required torque is 1.5–2 times higher compared to cutting taps. The coolant grooves facilitate lubricant flow, ensuring improved lubrication and heat dissipation.

P3CC T

Like the previous P2CC but with 6GX tolerance, therefore for applications where subsequent galvanizing treatment is expected, or similar, which require a higher tolerance than 6HX.

P2CC AHI • P2CC LH-T

Roll taps with coolant grooves for blind and through holes, tolerance 6HX. Based on the principle of plastic deformation, they do not produce chips and generate highly durable threads. Recommended for steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloys with Si content < 10%, and copper. Generally suitable for medium-strength materials with an elongation coefficient above 10% and tensile strength Rm < 850 N/mm². The required torque is 1.5–2 times higher compared to cutting taps. The coolant grooves facilitate lubricant flow, ensuring improved lubrication and heat dissipation. Available with next-generation AHI coating and also in left-hand thread (LH) versions.

K2CC TG • K2CC AHI

Roll taps with coolant grooves, PM8 steel, for CNC machine applications. The thread is created by deformation without chip formation. The grooves provide good lubrication, ideal for materials with elongation greater than 10%, for blind and through holes, and generally for medium-high strength steels up to Rm < 1200 N/mm². Standard thread tolerances are 6HX, 2BX, ISO228X. The X indicates the standard tolerance increment for elastic springback compensation after the tapping process. Also available with the new generation AHI coating.

K3CC TG

Like the previous K2CC but with 6GX tolerance for applications where subsequent galvanizing treatment is expected, or similar, which require a larger tolerance than 6HX.

K2CC FOR-TG • K2CC FOR-AHI •K2CC FORY-TG

Roll taps with coolant grooves, PM8 steel, for CNC machine applications, with axial flow (FOR) and radial flow (FORY).
For materials with elongation greater than 10% and generally for medium-high strength steels up to Rm < 1200 N/mm². Standard thread tolerances are 6HX, 2BX. The X indicates the standard tolerance increment for material shrinkage compensation after
the tapping process. Also available with the new generation AHI coating. The required torque is 1.5–2 times higher compared to cutting taps. The coolant grooves and internal coolant hole improve lubrication and heat dissipation.

K2CCE TG • K2CCE AHI • K2CCE FOR-TG

Roll taps with coolant grooves, PM8 steel, for CNC machine applications, with short chamfer type E. For materials with elongation greater than 10% and generally for medium-high strength steels up to Rm < 1200 N/mm². Standard thread tolerance 6HX. The X indicates the tolerance increment for material shrinkage compensation after the tapping process. Also available with the new generation AHI coating and internal lubrication with axial flow. The required torque is 1.5–2 times higher compared to cutting taps.
