Description
Heli-Coil inserts manufactured by Stanley Engineered Fastening provide a positive means for protecting and strengthening tapped threads in any material. The unique design features of the insert offer many benefits. Tapped threads are strengthened because the inherent flexibility of the insert provides a more balanced distribution of dynamic and static loads throughout the length of thread engagement. This flexibility also compensates for variation in lead and angle error allowing each coil to carry its share of the load.
Screw-Locking Inserts have a resilient locking mechanism that grips the bolt and prevents it from loosening under vibration or impact. It allows for repeated assembly and disassembly without appreciable loss of positive self-locking torque. This translates into savings in space, weight and money, through the elimination of lock wiring, lock nuts, lock washers, chemical compounds, plastic pellets/patches and/or other locking mechanisms. HeliCoil screw lock Inch-szed inserts dyed red for easy identification. Metric sizes are un-coloured.
