REVOLUTIONARY THREAD REPAIR TECHNOLOGY<br />
The Process<br />
• •<br />
•<br />
Silbertool is used manually, no external energy is required.<br />
After choosing the required rollers, they are<br />
mounted in the tool.<br />
Silbertool is placed on the damaged part of the thread.<br />
Using an Allen key, which is included, the tool is fixed<br />
and then rotated manually around the work piece.<br />
To reduce friction, the thread should be lubricated.<br />
Application R110<br />
Crossroad Distributor Source is introducing a<br />
revolutionary thread repair technology, the Silbertool®<br />
Thread Rolling Process. What is so new about it and what<br />
is so important?<br />
While working on any type of mechanical component it<br />
is only a matter of time before you struggle with a damaged<br />
thread. In many cases a damaged thread requires a<br />
replacement of entire component. When using Silbertool,<br />
there is no need to replace expensive components due<br />
to heavily damaged threads, but preserving its original<br />
geometry is critical. Removing material by cutting markedly<br />
weakens the thread making it inadequate for dynamic<br />
loads.<br />
Silbertool does not remove material but rather re-rolls<br />
the thread back to its original geometry. The Silbertool<br />
Rolling Process is a safe and simple procedure, repairing<br />
any external thread form of any metallic material.<br />
The Silbertool is made from austenitic chrome nickel<br />
steel, while the rollers and roller axis are made of a vacuum<br />
hardened stainless steel, making it a very hard and tough<br />
material. Furthermore, the material testing institute for<br />
materials and manufacturing engineering (MPA-Hanover)<br />
have proven that a thread repaired with Silbertool withstands<br />
the same static and dynamic loads as a new undamaged<br />
thread, and tests showed a higher fatigue endurance limit<br />
after rolling.<br />
There are 4 tools in the system, available individually,<br />
for diameters ranging from M5 through M110, #6 through<br />
4.1/4”. The thread rollers are available in virtually all<br />
pitches & tpi, including left-hand thread.<br />
