Benefits

  • Provide a convenient means of repairing stripped-out threads and are also used to provide stronger threads in soft materials such as aluminium, zinc die castings, wood, magnesium etc.
  • Reduced installation force over conventional press-fit thread inserts.
  • Pilots provide a means of alignment with the receiving hole.
  • Double ended version simplifies automatic and manual installation.
  • Helical knurl offers a higher axial pull-out resistance than straight knurl, but with a lower resistance to torque.

Operation

  • The helically formed coils of diamond shaped stainless steel or phosphor bronze wire screw into a threaded hole a form a mating internal thread for a screw or stud.
  • Incorporates a helical knurl with a 'broaching' form & undercuts to enhance rotational & pull-out performance.
