The Roth DURALOCK® thread

Plus safety for hydraulic systems

Thread with 2 x 100% added value

The Roth DURALOCK® thread, specially developed for our accumulator systems, provides added safety and an increased service life in the daily use of your hydraulic systems. The Roth DURALOCK® thread is safer, more robust and more durable than conventional threads in the special applications of hydraulic accumulator construction. Compared to conventional threads, the Roth DURALOCK® thread offers almost the same dimensions:

  • Up to 100% higher safety against failure

  • Up to 100% higher load change or pressure fluctuation range

Roth DURALOCK® thread

Topic

The problem

When evaluating the metric threads previously used in piston accumulator construction, the following problem areas become apparent:

The radial force component causes the pipe to bend upwards. If the load increases further, the pipe expands until the connection fails.

A concentration of stress occurs at the base of the thread, which can lead to cracks under alternating loads and high load changes.


Our solution - the Roth DURALOCK® thread

The Roth DURALOCK® thread combines these properties and, with its optimized geometry, offers major advantages over conventional threads used in
storage tank construction.

Innovation
  • Up to 100% higher safety against failure

  • Up to 100% higher load change or pressure fluctuation range

Advantages
  • Extreme safety and durability

  • High durability

  • Robustness due to rounded thread contour

  • Optimized dimensions

  • Long service life

During further development, the properties of the Roth DURALOCK® thread were taken into account in the design and calculations. Many load cycle and burst tests confirmed the outstanding capabilities of the Roth DURALOCK® thread.
TÜV-Hessen accompanied the tests and confirmed the results with its test certificate.
