Plus thread inserts
Technical data
Insertion of thread insert
The installation can be done manually, automatically or with machine tools.
The HELICOIL
®
Plus thread insert is screwed onto the installation mandrel with the tang down (a), inserted into the
leader cartridge (b) or placed on the fly-over tool (c). Then, the tool is placed over the tapped hole.
Installation
By turning the threaded mandrel (d), the mandrel (e) or the fly-over tool (f), respectively,
manually or triggering the drive, the thread insert is screwed in. It must be installed at least 0.25 P below the
surface (see page 17 b).
Breaking off the tang
To produce a through-hole thread, the tang is broken off at the notch. For that, a tang break-off tool is used
(g and h). For threads from M14 (fine and normal pitch), the tang can be removed with long nose pliers (i).
For blind-hole threads, the tang does not have to be removed if the maximum screw-in depth t
3
of the screw
is observed.
