Stainless steel Helicoil thread inserts are used to repair stripped or damaged threads in various materials, providing a durable and reliable solution for maintaining threaded connections.
Features:
- Material: Made from stainless steel, these inserts are resistant to corrosion and wear, making them ideal for use in harsh environments.
- Design: The coiled design allows for a strong grip in the parent material, distributing loads evenly across the insert.
- Installation: Helicoils can be easily installed using a special installation tool, and they are typically inserted into a pre-tapped hole.
- Sizes: Available in various sizes to accommodate different thread diameters and pitches.
Benefits:
- Repair Capability: Perfect for restoring stripped threads in components like aluminum, steel, and plastics.
- Strength: Provides high tensile strength, making them suitable for high-stress applications.
- Versatility: Can be used in automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing applications.
- Cost-Effective: Offers a less expensive alternative to replacing components or welding.
Installation Process:
- Preparation: Clean the damaged thread area.
- Drilling: Use a drill bit to prepare the hole to the appropriate size for the Helicoil.
- Tapping: Tap the hole to create threads that match the Helicoil insert.
- Insertion: Use an insertion tool to place the Helicoil into the tapped hole.
- Finalization: Break off the tang (if applicable) to ensure smooth operation.
