Can Spiralock be used in soft materials?
Yes. Another significant advantage to Spiralock is how well it works in soft materials due to its uniform load distribution. By spreading the load over the entire engagement and redirecting the forces radially into compression, significantly higher loads can be achieved without stripping threads. As a result, inserts may be eliminated. However, it should be recognized that soft materials can be deformed under the local contact stresses and that reusability may be affected.
