Nut taps directly from the manufacturer at BAER
The word "nut" has a double meaning for every craftsman. For, in addition to the parent, the term in German denotes the counterpart to the screw, without which, in many cases, no screw connection can be made at all. Nuts come in numerous varieties and shapes. The most common is certainly the hexagon nut, which all of us have held in our hands at least once. But wing nuts, star knob nuts or slotted nuts are also found in abundance in daily use and are certainly familiar to you.
In addition to nuts that are used for fastening, there is another category. As spindle nuts or movement nuts, nuts are also part of movement threads such as trapezoidal threads. In this capacity, they move along the axis of a threaded rod, converting rotary motion into longitudinal motion. Classic applications are lathes or screw presses.
Cutting a nut thread is a specialized task for which you also need a special tool. With a nut tap, the work is easy for you and you can easily cut your own nut thread. Buy nut taps in our Online-Shop for screw taps and convince yourself of the well-known BAER quality. With a purchase directly from the nut tap manufacturer, you benefit not only from favorable prices, you also always have a competent partner at your side, to whom you can turn in case of questions and problems.
Manufacture nuts yourself with nut taps from BAER
Whether for fastening or movement threads, you can manufacture nuts yourself in your workshop. Whether it's because you can't find what you're looking for among the prefabricated products, you have a very special application in mind, or you simply enjoy doing it yourself every step of the way. All you need is a high-quality nut tap - and that's where BAER comes in.
At BAER, we have 40 years of experience in manufacturing threading tools and we also know our way around special cases. In our Online-Shop we do not only want to offer you standard products, but we also want to be your contact when it comes to less common applications. Therefore, we naturally also carry a range of nut taps in our wide product range of screw tap for machine and manual use. All of our nut taps are made from high-quality high-speed steel and manufactured with the utmost care to ensure that you can reliably cut precise threads.
The nut taps in the Online-Shop are divided into two categories. Our machine nut taps for metric regular and fine threads are suitable for producing nuts as a counterpart to a fastening screw. Our nut taps for trapezoidal threads, on the other hand, are used to produce nuts for motion threads. Before you buy a nut tap, you should familiarize yourself with this difference.
Nut tap for metric regular threads
Nut taps for metric regular threads can be recognized directly by their unusual appearance. They have a long gate that extends over about 2/3 of the entire thread length. The lead form ensures a long service life and leaves a very smooth surface inside. This is particularly important for nuts that are to be opened again and again. In addition, nut taps have a very long overflow shank to accommodate many finish-cut nuts. This means that you do not have to constantly interrupt your work to remove the finished nuts from the tool.
The long lead-in and the straight flutes limit the range of use of nut taps to through holes with a shallow depth. The achievable thread depth corresponds to the diameter, and in the case of deep threads, the nut tap may then break. That is why they are such specialized tools, especially designed for cutting nuts.
In BAER Online-Shop you can find machine nut taps for metric regular and fine threads. For the regular thread the range M 3 to M 24 is covered, for the fine thread you will find in the Online-Shop Nutgewindebohrer der sizes MF 8 to MF 20.
Nut tap for trapezoidal thread
A nut tap for trapezoidal threads is also immediately noticeable due to its very long gate. In addition, a trapezoidal thread has an unusual profile. As the name suggests, the threads here do not taper to a point, but form an isosceles trapezoid. The nut tap for trapezoidal threads also has a long overflow shank and can thus accommodate several nuts. It has straight flutes and is suitable for through holes with a depth corresponding to the thread diameter.
If you would like to buy nut taps for trapezoidal threads, you will also find an exhaustive selection at BAER. We carry nut taps in sizes ranging from TR 10 X 2 to 36 X 6. In our Online-Shop you will find not only the standard versions for right-hand threads but also those for left-hand threads.
By the way, you can also cut trapezoidal internal threads by hand. For manual use you will find in our Online-Shop Hand taps in 3-piece sets or also as individual tools. Unlike the machine nut taps, the counterpart for manual use is also suitable for blind holes and is also generally somewhat more flexible in use. So if you don't need a pure nut tap, but also want to cut trapezoidal threads in other contexts, take a look around this product category. By the way, we can also produce special dimensions and larger trapezoidal taps in a short time. Please send us an inquiry.
