3/8'' x 16 UNC x 1.5D Powercoil Inserts - Bulk

Description

Features & Benefits For many years, helically coiled wire thread inserts have been vastly underestimated. The popular misconception that they were designed for the repair of damaged threads has given this unique fastener a false image. They are much lighter and less expensive than any other equivalent type of thread insert and because of their compact size, can generally be introduced into existing designs where no previous provision has been made. Unlike many other economic measures, their introduction increases quality and performance whilst reducing overall product cost. Their introduction may result in the use of thinner sections or lighter parent materials without sacrificing thread strength. They protect tapped threads against failures due to stripping, seizing, corrosion and wear. PowerCoil wire thread inserts are produced from austenitic stainless steel wire which is work hardened to a tensile strength above 200,000psi and a hardness of rc43-50. The inserts have an exceedingly smooth surface finish that virtually eliminates friction-induced thread erosion. The continuous helically coiled design negates the need for thick wall structures to support the internal and external threads - the diamond profile wire coil is the thread. PowerCoil wire thread inserts can be installed in reduced size bosses or flanges and within constricted areas - saving space and weight while providing high strength.
