Integrally Moulded Low Profile Fastening Forms

汽车对燃油效率的日益增长的需求导致了广泛的研究和开发，通过使用高性能材料和现代制造技术来减轻装配重量。ROTITE需要TSB资金来研究使用整体模塑低轮廓紧固件形式的可能性，以排除传统的金属紧固件。罗泰科技有限公司开发了一种基于低调螺旋燕尾的新型机械连接和耦合技术。这意味着两个表面接合在一起，可以彼此相对旋转，直到达到所需的紧密性。该连接具有高强度，并允许通过最小轴向平移传递非常高的轴向载荷。

The increasing need for fuel efficiency in vehicles has led to extensive Research & Development into the reduction of assembly weight by using high performance materials with contemporary construction techniques. Rotite requires TSB funding to research the possibility of utilising integrally moulded low profile fastening forms to preclude traditional metallicfasteners. Rotite Technologies Ltd has developed a novel mechanical connection and coupling technology based upon a low-profile, helicoidal dovetail. This means that two surfaces dovetail together and can be rotated against one another until the required tightness is achieved. The connection is high strength and allows transfer of very high axial loads with aminimal axial translation.
