Product Description
The Heli-Coil 1185-04EN112 by Stanley Engineered Fastening is a high-performance tanged free-running insert meticulously designed to protect and reinforce fine internal threads in soft or lightweight parent materials. Cold-rolled from premium 304 stainless steel wire with a precision diamond-shaped cross section, this wire thread insert compensates for pitch and angle errors to maximize joint load distribution across the assembly. Delivered in a specialized strip-feed packaging configuration, it is optimized to reduce cycle times and maximize efficiency when integrated with automated or semi-automated power installation tools. Once wound into the tapped hole, the spring-like retention force of the coils ensures a permanently wear-resistant thread that defends critical connections from stripping, galling, and severe thread wear.
Free-Running Profile Provides an unobstructed, conventional internal thread track that lets mating bolts turn smoothly without added locking resistance.
Strip-Feed Reel Formatted on a continuous plastic carrier strip to substantially boost manufacturing throughput and optimize automated high-speed production lines.
Traditional Installation Tang Includes a sturdy, driven mandrel installation tang that guarantees consistent mechanical engagement and positive depth seating control.
Optimized Load Distribution Utilizes a flexible diamond-shaped wire configuration that yields more uniform contact pressure, minimizing localized stress concentrations.
