Tapping tools: Mega synchro tapping holder

Mega Synchro Tapping Holder

Mega Synchro Tapping Holder compensates for synchronization error during rigid tapping. It improves thread quality and tool life by reducing thrust loads caused by synchronization errors up to 90%. Mega Synchro comes in a wide variation of 41 bodies and 45 tap holders the various combinations of tool and Tap Holder offers ideal projection lengths for any machine.

Load to Tap

BIG Mega Synchro compensates for synchronization errors with any type of tap. Minimized thrust load to both the tap and workpiece improves thread quality and tap life.

Spiral Tap - AU1/4 - 20 N=1,000RPM  

Twisted grooves on a spiral tap cause loading in the reverse direction, similar to an end mill.

Point Tap - AU1/4 - 20 N=1,000RPM Roll Tap - No.2 - 56 N=3,000RPM

Thrust load is caused in both the forward and reverse
directions with a point tap, while a spiral tap has only
reversal forces. However, BIG Mega Synchro minimizes
thrust loads in both directions.

Thrust load in the forward direction is continuously applied to a roll tap, reaching its peak at the moment when rotation is changed to reverse. BIG Mega Synchro eliminates the load effectively.


Variation in Load Between Machines Spiral Tapping with Coolant Through Slits

Spiral Tap - AU1/2 - 13 N=500RPM
Synchronization performance, tap load and cycle time will vary between machines. BIG Mega Synchro minimizes the thrust load, even with machine builder A which has the largest thrust load.

Spiral Tap - AU1/2 - 13 N=500RPM
BIG Mega Synchro is capable of supplying coolant through slits to the tap periphery. High pressure coolant up to 1,000 PSI is possible with no effect on the minimized load to the tap.


Comparison of Surface Finish  

Comparison of Surface Finish

Spiral Tap - No.10 - 24 Material: 4130
Tapping of exotic materials tends to cause a
compressed burr on the thread surface. BIG Mega
Synchro compensates for synchronization errors and
minimizes cutting load. Fine surface finish of threads is achieved.
