Sectors covered
UFS special applications cover a wide range of components and materials, each with specific technical requirements. Below is an overview of the main areas of application.
Oil filters
Taps dedicated to threading oil filter plates for cars, trucks, and tractors. Optimised geometries, long lead-ins, and roll tapping solutions for maximum productivity and thread quality.
Engines
High-performance taps for aluminium cylinder heads and cast iron engine blocks. Advanced coatings and specific geometries to ensure stability and tool life, even in deep machining operations.
Crankshafts
Customised solutions for crankshaft threading, with geometries designed to break chips in horizontal machining operations and extended lengths compared to standard tools.
Gearboxes and crankcases
Special taps for aluminium castings, with increased overall lengths, high-helix geometries, and coatings optimised for abrasive materials or materials that are difficult to evacuate.
Connecting rods
Tools dedicated to threading connecting rods, where precision and fatigue resistance are essential.
Specific geometries ensure consistent thread quality.
Steering and suspension group
Taps designed for steering and suspension components, with UFS in-house coatings to ensure production consistency and tool life, even in high-volume production.
Wheel hubs
Solutions developed in collaboration with leading wheel hub manufacturers. Geometries and coatings optimised to ensure efficiency and repeatability.
Wind power
Long taps with internal lubrication and high-helix geometries for wind power sector components.
Ideal for difficult materials and deep threading operations.
Bicycle components
Special taps for bicycle components: right- and left-hand pedals, dropouts, hubs, and other critical elements. Customised solutions for each manufacturer.
Tractor components
Taps dedicated to agricultural components, such as the “third point” linkage and other structural elements. Robust geometries and high-strength materials.
Nuts
Special taps for nut threading, also available with screw connection for bent shanks and customised tolerances. Available for diameters larger than 10 mm.
