Abstract: A thread rolling head includes a bearing housing, in which at least two profile rollers, preferably at least three, are each rotatably mounted on an eccentric shaft. A shank is coupled to the housing, and adjacent profile rollers delimit an insertion section into which a workpiece can be longitudinally inserted. The bearing housing includes two housing parts rotatable relative to each other to change the spacing between the profile rollers. An adjustment element interacts with one of the two housing parts and can rotate about the longitudinal axis thereof. Rotation of the adjustment element in a first direction causes rotation of the two housing parts in a third rotational direction, while its rotation in the second direction causes rotation of the housing parts in a fourth rotational direction counter to the third rotational direction. A display apparatus displays a change of the spacing between the profile rollers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tangential thread rolling head including two rolling head arms having a thread roll rotatably mounted on an axle. The thread rolls are configured to engage with a gear and be pushed laterally into an assembled position into the rolling head arms before the installation of the axles and the axles can be pushed into a bearing bore hole of the thread rolls. The two thread rolls have identical thread profiles that are offset with respect to each other when the thread rolls are in the assembled position.
