Recoils
Recoil inserts are a fundamental solution for repairing stripped or damaged threads while also enhancing the strength of the original thread. These thin, helically coiled wire inserts are crafted from high-strength stainless steel, offering resilience and reliability across applications. The process involves drilling out the original thread, tapping the hole with a larger diameter, and installing the recoil insert to restore the thread to its original dimensions. Recoils are particularly beneficial in automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery industries where thread integrity is critical for safety and performance. The versatility of recoils makes them an essential restoration method, effectively extending the life of components and assemblies without compromising their structural integrity.
Threaded Inserts
Threaded inserts are designed to instill robust thread patterns into softer materials like aluminum, magnesium, and plastic, which might otherwise be too fragile to support high-strength threads. These inserts come in various designs, including self-tapping, helical (similar to recoils), and solid, catering to diverse restoration needs across industries. Self-tapping inserts are ideal for materials prone to wear, offering lasting engagement. Helical inserts provide elasticity, distributing loads evenly, while solid inserts add mass for increased strength. Key industries that benefit from threaded inserts include automotive, electronic, and consumer goods manufacturing. The application of threaded inserts not only preserves the functionality of components but also significantly improves their durability and resistance to pull-out and torque forces.
