Advantages of Thread Repair Inserts

 



If your threads have worn out, it may be time to consider buying Thread Repair Inserts. There are several types of thread repair inserts available on the market, including Time-Sert, Re-Nu Thread, Nico Prosert, Coil Thread, and others. All are made of stainless or carbon steel and offer several advantages over standard threads. They are also remarkably wear-resistant and resistant to high temperatures.

Re-Nu-Thread

Re-Nu-Thread Repair Insert is a type of re-threader that is widely used to fix stripped or damaged threads. The company manufactures this type of thread repair insert in various sizes and forms. These thread repair inserts are ideal for use in aluminum, magnesium, cast iron, copper, and Masonite, among others. The thread repair inserts feature a nylon locking element on the external thread. Therefore, they are safe to use and are designed to remain in place until the wear on the threading is removed.

The E-Z Lok Helical Thread Repair Insert Kit series comes in metric and inch thread sizes and has fine and coarse versions. The insert kit includes a drop-down chart to select the correct size. For general use, the E-Z Lok Helical Thread Repair Kit is the best choice. Each kit comes with between five and 10 thread repair inserts. The kit also has a helical thread repair insert to use in various sizes of nut or bolt threads.



Time-Sert

To repair threads, you will need Time-Sert thread repair inserts. The kit includes the appropriate size drill bit, tap and counterbore drill, insert, driver, and oil. The kit costs approximately $70 and includes everything you need to make basic repairs. You will also need special tools to make deep-hole repairs. Time-Sert thread repair inserts are available in several sizes, including metric.

For general applications, Heli coil makes thread repair kits, which are less expensive than Time Sert kits. A technician once doubles-stacked a Heli coil insert during head bolt thread repair, resulting in crossed threads. Fortunately, this tech discovered a better way. Time-Sert manufactures a specific thread repair kit for each type of bolt. The kit will save you time and money by removing damaged threads from your engine, ignition system, and more.

Nico Property

The Heli Coil range of wire thread inserts includes Nimonic 90 and Nitronic 60, Titanium alloys, Inconel X-750, Phosphorus Bronze, and various other Space Age Metals. The Heli Coil wire thread inserts are available in reel mounted or strip feed forms, minimizing installation time. The thread repair inserts are made of cold-rolled 18-8 stainless steel and meet standards like AS7245 and MIL-I-8846.

The Heli Coil thread plug gauges are available in Go/No Go and 5H/6H class for Metric sizes and 2B/3B for UNC/UNF. The tapped hole and the thread repair insert's installation tolerance are the most important factors affecting the finished thread. The GO thread plug gage may not enter freely after the installation of the insert. If this happens, the thread repair insert will seat itself when a screw or bolt is installed and tightened.



Coil Thread

Coil Thread repair inserts offer space and weight savings and eliminate the need for oversized or damaged holes. They are approved to meet or exceed all applicable standards and specifications. And they provide better thread performance than the original. Let's learn more about these unique products. You can purchase a single Coil Thread repair insert for your application by clicking the link below. This article outlines some of the benefits and uses of this product.

The Coil Thread repair inserts meet FED-STD-H28 requirements for fastening a UNJ male fastener in a tapped hole. They are available in several sizes and are available in free-running or screw-lock configurations. These inserts meet the requirements of the MA/MS/NAS Specs and are also compatible with STI tapped holes. They can be used for a variety of applications, including automotive, medical, aerospace, and more.

Cross Tools

OEMTOOLS Thread Repair Inserts are ideally suited for rethreading most common metals and materials. They are designed for aerospace, automotive, and military applications, and are made from high-quality 18-8 stainless steel wire. These thread repair inserts are available in a range of sizes, including M10, M8, and M12, and are available in multi-size kits for quick and easy rethreading.

The tool has a blade that slides into a hole and is held in place by a small metal tang. Once in place, you need to drill out the damaged threads. Since large parts cannot fit under a drill press or a table clamp, you will need to use a hand drill. This method allows you to work more slowly and can straighten the drill bit if it's not straight. You will need to screw the insert into a predrilled hole and then screw it into place to cut the threads into the wall of the permanent installation.

E-Z LOK
