CDRG Roller for Roll Thread Machine | Leo Industries
Introduction – CDRG Roller for Roll Thread Machine
A CDRG roller (Carbide Donut/Ring Groove roller) is a precision-ground threading tool used in roll thread machines to form accurate, high-strength threads on bolts, studs, and rebar without material removal. Engineered from premium tool steel or tungsten carbide with micro-finished profiles, our CDRG rollers deliver consistent flank angles, pitch accuracy, and superior surface finish—boosting tool life, cycle speed, and thread integrity for automotive, fastener, construction, and heavy-engineering applications.
Working Principle & Process Flow
In thread rolling, the blank is pressed between a pair of profiled CDRG rollers under high pressure. Instead of cutting, the material is cold formed, plastically flowing into the roller’s groove to create the thread profile. This produces work-hardened threads with higher tensile strength, improved fatigue resistance, and excellent surface finish. The process flow: material prep ? blank chamfering ? machine setup (center distance, pressure, alignment) ? rolling pass with coolant ? inspection (pitch, PD, flank) ? finishing/packing.

Maintenance & Safety Tips
ChecklistLeoindustries
Monthly / Quarterly
Inspect roller flanks and radius for wear, chipping, or micro-cracks
Verify center distance, alignment, and preload to avoid skewed threads
Maintain coolant/lubricant flow and cleanliness to reduce heat & galling
Operating Best Practices
Use blanks with correct chamfer and straightness; avoid scale/rust
Set feed/pressure to spec to prevent over-rolling or profile distortion
Handle and store rollers in padded cases; avoid impacts and corrosion
FAQs — CDRG Roller for Roll Thread Machine
Q1
What does a CDRG roller do in a roll thread machine?
It plastically forms the thread by displacing material—producing stronger, smoother threads than cutting, with higher fatigue life and surface finish.
Q2
Which profiles and sizes can you supply?
Metric, UNC/UNF, BSW/BSF, ACME/TR and custom forms, engineered to your OD/ID/face width with tight PD and lead tolerances.
Q3
Tool steel vs. carbide—what should I choose?
Tool steel is economical and versatile; tungsten carbide provides maximum wear resistance and dimensional stability for long, demanding runs.
Q4
How do I improve roller life and thread quality?
Maintain correct center distance, feed and pressure; keep coolant clean; use straight, properly chamfered blanks; and inspect flanks regularly.
Q5
Do you offer regrinding or customization?
Yes—custom geometry, surface treatments, and regrinding services can be provided based on your machine make, thread form, and production target.
