Optimal force distribution
Flexibility of the thread inserts compensates for pitch and angle errors
Thread insert sits securely
Minimised thread friction torque and minimised torsional stress
Increased corrosion resistance
Space and weight minimisation
Smaller number of required connection points and/or reduced screwing dimensions
Cost minimisation
by reinforcing the thread, which effectively minimises the repair costs
A resistant thread in four steps:
Step 1:
Drill a tapping hole or drill out the damaged thread
Step 2:
Create a mounting thread
- by cutting using a screw tap
OR
- without cutting using a thread former for an even more resilient mounting thread
Step 3:
Place the thread insert
- The wire thread insert can be mounted either mechanically or by hand using the corresponding screw-in tool.
Step 4:
Break the pin
- Separate the tang by tapping gently on the predetermined break point with a pin breaker, and then remove. Automatic pin breakers are also available for series production.
