Thread Rolling for High-Precision Threads via Chipless Forming

Precision. Thread Rolling.

Producing threads quickly, precisely, and cost-effectively is exactly why we at HÖHN use thread rolling. This process is particularly well-suited for components that require high thread strength, clean surfaces, and consistent quality.

We manufacture components using CNC turning and CNC milling, among other methods, before thread rolling is performed as a subsequent process.

Precision for Complex Geometries.

Unlike machining processes, thread rolling does not cut the thread but creates it through forming. The material is pressed into the desired thread shape. This preserves the grain structure of the material and gives the thread particularly high load-bearing capacity.

Thread rolling offers decisive advantages, especially for series production and higher quantities: short machining times, consistent quality, and highly cost-effective production.

Thread rolling at HÖHN.
Efficient and precise implementation.

To ensure that threads can be produced reliably and cost-effectively, we at HÖHN rely on semi-automatic machines from renowned manufacturers, including PEEWEE and Profi-Roll. These machines enable the reliable production of external threads with consistently high quality. For particularly high requirements regarding dimensional accuracy and surface quality, thread rolling can be combined with processes such as precision grinding.

Scope of services in thread rolling

  • Threads in the metric range from M4 to M42
  • Wide selection of inch threads
  • Cost-effective production even for larger quantities
  • Integration of thread rolling into existing manufacturing processes


Through the combination of modern technology, experience, and a versatile machine park, we can efficiently and reliably produce threads directly on your components. Additionally, threads can be optimized for corrosion protection and functionality through suitable finishing processes.

FAQ Thread Rolling

Thread rolling is a non-cutting forming process used to produce external threads. In this process, the thread is not cut but rather formed into the material using high pressure and special rolling tools. The material undergoes plastic deformation and is displaced into the desired thread shape. This preserves the material structure, making the thread particularly strong and durable.

The process enables high-strength threads, smooth surfaces, high dimensional accuracy, and material-friendly manufacturing without chip formation.

Since the material fibers are not severed but rather compacted during rolling, the resulting threads are particularly strong and wear-resistant.

  • From M4 to M42 in the metric range
  • A wide selection is also available in the Zoll range
