Z & V HSSE-PM Taps

For Stainless Steels

CHARACTERISTICS
Pictographs

These top quality Taps are made in Switzerland, by DC-Swiss, one of the leading Tap
Manufacturers in Europe. All the Taps are made of HSSE-PM (Powder Metal). This
material has proven to be the best solution for the manufacture of Taps and provides
excellent shock and wear resistant properties.

Our Spiral Fluted Taps in

UNC and Metric coarse pitch threads have another
added design feature. DC-Swiss has developed a
unique tap, which has part of its back thread form
truncated. This truncation reduces the torque on the tap,
which is generated by the contraction of the material.
The taps come with DC-Swiss V surface treatment
process as standard which gives the Taps excellent
properties to reduce cold welding. If you wish to get
higher performance DC-Swiss has available as an option
their VS surface treatment process. This coating is more
wear protective and has a low coefficient of friction, which
reduces torque and eliminates cold welding.

Type Z2320V-4 & Z2420V-4 are designed for through holes, and the spiral point
geometry on the Tap will push the swarf through the hole.
Type Z2360V-3 & Z2460V-3 have a 40 degree spiral flute, which will bring the swarf back up the flute of the tap
and ejects it away from the hole. This can be used up to a depth of about 2.5 times the diameter of the hole.
Type Z2362V-3 & Z2462V-3 have a 40 degree spiral flute, that brings the swarf back up the flute of the tap
and ejects it away from the hole. This can be used up to a depth of about 2.5 times the diameter of the hole.

This DC-Swiss series of Taps has been designed to work in Inox/Stainless Steels which
are found in many components today that must be resistant to steam, heat and also
corrosive fluids. These components tend to be of high value. So many users still have
reservations regarding the tapping in these tough materials.
So DC-Swiss developed the Z & V series of Taps to overcome these concerns. With its specific cutting geometry,
which has been perfected for the use in these tough
Stainless materials, which have a high percentage of
elongation (elasticity). You are now assured of success
when tapping these valuable materials. We have had a
number of customers tell us they have achieved over
five to ten times the tap life over other competitor taps
on 304 and 420 modified stainless steel.
