Wire thread inserts are the strongest type of threaded connection. For this reason threads in critical applic-ations such as inside aircraft turbines and nuclear reactors are fitted with wire thread inserts from new.

Are threaded inserts better than screws?

They offer a stronger alternative to weld nuts and tapped holes, and they provide a stronger bond than self-tapping screws.

Are helicoil stronger than original threads?

However, there are some uses for thin walled thread inserts where we would not recommend helicoil type inserts but Time-Serts. If a thread is “static” i.e. not likely to be done up and undone more than a few times in its lifetime, we would always say a helicoil type thread is the strongest option.

How much pressure can a helicoil take?

HELI-COIL® Pipe Thread Inserts are precision formed screw thread coils of 18-8 Stainless Steel wire cold rolled into a sharp crescent diamond shaped cross section having a tensile strength in excess of 200,000 psi and a smooth surface of 8 to 16 micro inches.

Should I use threaded inserts?

If you’re working with thin materials and need a strong, durable fastener that is removable and reusable, blind threaded inserts are the solution. Not only are they incredibly easy to install, but they’ll also enhance your application by ensuring production efficiency and durability.

How deep should threaded insert be?

For Self-Tapping Inserts, a minimum depth of 1.2 times the Insert length is recommended. For other Inserts, the recommended minimum depth is the Insert length plus two (2) Insert thread pitches. The assembly screw should never bottom out in the hole, as jack-out would result.
