A Tap for Every Nut

Every industry depends on nuts. Whether it’s backyard playground equipment, or the blades on a wind turbine, everything is held together by nuts. That makes nut manufacturing one of the most important industries in the world. In a world that depends on nuts, these manufacturers must be able to produce accurate, reliable nuts.

To keep up with the demand of a world that would literally fall apart without them, nut manufacturers depend on Regal to provide the taps they need to meet customer’s demands. From high production standard nuts, to one-off specialty fasteners, Regal has all the taps that nut manufacturers depend on.

Standard Fasteners

High production nuts are made on special purpose tapping machines. Once threaded the material continues down the tap shank, dropping off into a collection bin or conveyor. These taps are brazed or threaded onto a curved shank and are built according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Specialty Fasteners

Specialty nuts are usually made from exotic materials that are more difficult to cut. These more demanding materials require taps made from high alloy particle metal. Regal provides specialty taps with specific geometries for producing highly accurate threads in tough materials.

Large Diameter and Custom Taps

Nuts of this variety are typically made in limited quantities using conventional equipment. The right tap optimizes fit and finish, while also improving performance and extending the life of the tap.
