Roscas métricas

Las roscas métricas (perfil M) son el estándar aceptado globalmente para la fijación, definido por ISO 261 e ISO 965. Se caracterizan por un ángulo de flanco de 60 grados y se miden por diámetro exterior y paso (en milímetros).

En Jucheng Precision, producimos millones de agujeros y ejes roscados métricos anualmente. Nuestra instalación está equipada con centros de roscado Brother de alta velocidad para la producción rápida de roscas pequeñas (M1.6 – M12) y máquinas de 5 ejes para el fresado de roscas complejo de roscas de gran diámetro o de metal duro. Verificamos la calidad de la rosca utilizando calibres Go/No-Go calibrados para garantizar que cada pieza cumpla con la clase de tolerancia especificada (típicamente 6H para roscas internas y 6g para externas).

Threading Methods

Método Descripción Beneficios clave y aplicaciones
Rigid Tapping Synchronizing the machine spindle rotation with the feed rate to cut threads using a tap. Beneficio: Highest speed and accuracy for standard holes (M2-M20).
Aplicación: Electronic enclosures, automotive brackets.
Fresado de roscas Using a rotating multi-tooth cutter to interpolate the thread path. Can cut ID and OD threads. Beneficio: Can thread hard metals (50+ HRC), precise size control, one tool for multiple sizes.
Aplicación: Large diameter aerospace parts, blind holes.
Single Point Turning Using a lathe insert to cut the thread in multiple passes. Beneficio: Can generate any custom pitch or diameter.
Aplicación: Precision shafts, lead screws.
Thread Rolling Cold forming the thread using dies instead of cutting. Displaces material to form the shape. Beneficio: Strongest threads (unbroken grain flow), no chips.
Aplicación: High-strength aerospace fasteners.

Design Guidelines for Metric Threads

Thread Depth:
Avoid threading deeper than necessary. A depth of 1.5x to 2x Diameter is sufficient for full strength in steel. Going deeper increases the risk of tap breakage without adding strength.

Blind Hole Relief:
A tap cannot cut threads all the way to the bottom of a blind hole (due to the tap chamfer). Consejo: Design the drill depth to be at least 1 pitch length deeper than the required full thread depth.

Countersink / Chamfer:
Always include a 45° chamfer at the start of the hole. This guides the mating bolt and prevents the first thread from bulging out (mushrooming) during machining.

Fine vs. Coarse Pitch:
Coarse (e.g., M10x1.5): Standard, less likely to cross-thread, faster assembly.
Fine (e.g., M10x1.0): Stronger, better for vibration resistance, but easier to strip in soft materials.

Aplicaciones industriales

Global Manufacturing
Metric is the standard for virtually all industries outside the USA, including Automotive (German/Japanese specs) and Consumer Electronics.

Robótica
Precision fine-pitch metric threads are used on sensor mounts and optical adjustments for fine tuning.

Dispositivos médicos
Micro-metric threads (M1.0, M1.2) are standard in surgical implants and hearing aids.
