Provided is a screw shaft in which shape accuracy of a male threaded portion is sufficiently secured. A screw shaft includes a large-diameter shaft portion, medium-diameter shaft portions and small-diameter shaft portions. The large-diameter shaft portion has a male threaded portion along its entire axial length on its outer peripheral surface. The medium-diameter shaft portions are arranged axially adjacent to the large-diameter shaft portion and have an outer diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the large-diameter shaft portion. The small-diameter shaft portions are axially arranged adjacent to the medium-diameter shaft portions on sides opposite to the large-diameter shaft portion, have an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of each of the medium-diameter shaft portions, and do not have rolling traces having a helical shape on their outer peripheral surfaces.

A fastener with a body with a shank, a head adjacent one end of and integral with the shank, and a shoulder adjacent the head, and a separate washer with a through hole received on the shank, bearing on the shoulder and securely fastened to the shank. The body and washer may have an interference fit. The body may be made and the washer attached by cold forming the body with a ring bearing on the washer.

A thread rolling head comprises at least one roller holder configured to retain rollers that are configured to form a screw thread on a workpiece. The rollers are configured to rotate in the course of the screw thread formation. The thread rolling head further comprises an energy generating apparatus integrated into the thread rolling head that is configured to generate electrical energy when the thread rolling head is operating.

A screw shaft includes a large-diameter shaft portion having a male-side screw portion over the entire length of the outer circumferential surface thereof; a first small-diameter shaft portion arranged adjacent to one side in the axial direction of the large-diameter shaft portion, and having an outer diameter that is smaller than the outer diameter of the large-diameter shaft portion, and having a helical first rolling mark on the outer circumferential surface thereof; and a second small-diameter shaft portion arranged adjacent to the other side in the axial direction of the large-diameter shaft portion, and having an outer diameter that is smaller than the outer diameter of the large-diameter shaft portion, and having a helical first rolling mark on the outer circumferential surface thereof.
