High strength oil plug screw

Das Kaltstauchverfahren ist eines der neuen Verfahren für die Druckbearbeitung mit weniger oder gar keiner Zerspanung
Metall. Es handelt sich um eine Verarbeitungsmethode, die die plastische Verformung von Metall unter der Einwirkung von
äußere Kräfte, und mit Hilfe von Formen wird das Metallvolumen umverteilt und in die Form gebracht
die gewünschten Teile oder Rohlinge. Das Kaltstauchverfahren ist am besten geeignet für die Herstellung von Standard
Verbindungselemente wie Bolzen, Schrauben, Muttern, Nieten, Stifte usw.

High-Strength Oil Plug Screw – Technical Overview

Definition & Purpose:
High-strength oil plug screw are precision-engineered fasteners designed to withstand extreme mechanical stresses while maintaining secure sealing in lubrication systems. These heavy-duty plugs are specifically developed for applications requiring superior resistance to vibration, pressure, and thermal cycling beyond standard drain plug capabilities.

Key Characteristics & Specifications

1. Material Composition

• Alloy Steels:

  • Grade 10.9/12.9 alloy steel (quenched & tempered)

  • SAE 4340/4140 chromium-molybdenum variants

  • Case-hardened surfaces (58–62 HRC)

3. Advanced Features

• Triple-Start Threads: For rapid installation/removal in high-volume applications

• Interrupted Thread Design: Prevents backing out from vibration

• Shoulder-Stop Construction: Prevents over-tightening damage

• Micro-Textured Flank Surfaces: Maintains torque retention

Specialized Variants

1. Magnetic High-Strength Plugs:

   • Samarium-cobalt magnets (operating to 350°C)

   • Retain 98% magnetic flux under vibration

2. Sensor-Integrated Plugs:

   • Embedded strain gauges for load monitoring

   • Wireless torque/temperature telemetry

   • High strength oil plug screw

Industry Applications

• Motorsports: Formula 1/NASCAR dry-sump systems

• Heavy Industry: Mining equipment final drives

• Military: Armored vehicle lubrication points

Installation Protocol

1. Surface Prep:

   • Ultrasonic cleaning of threaded holes

   • Thread chasing with Class 3B tolerance taps

2. Verification:

   • Ultrasonic bolt tension measurement

   • Torque-to-yield monitoring for critical apps

Selection Criteria

1. Load Requirements: Calculate preload needs based on joint stiffness

2. Environment: Specify coatings for chemical/thermal exposure

3. Maintenance: Choose between permanent or serviceable designs

These plugs represent the pinnacle of drain plug engineering, combining advanced metallurgy with precision mechanics to solve extreme sealing challenges. Their design evolution directly responds to demands from high-performance industries where failure is not an option.
