Product Description
The Heli-Coil 1185-06CN207SF by Stanley Engineered Fastening is a high-performance tanged free-running insert engineered to form high-strength internal threads in low-density parent materials like aluminum and magnesium alloys. Precision cold-rolled from specialized Nitronic 60 stainless steel wire with a distinctive diamond-shaped cross-section, this wire thread insert automatically expands elastically outward upon installation to establish a permanent, spring-like retention force without requiring keying or staking. Its advanced material composition delivers outstanding anti-galling protection, completely eliminating the need for additional anti-seize lubricants when using stainless steel screws. Designed to optimize high-volume manufacturing lines, it features a convenient strip-feed packaging configuration that seamlessly aligns inserts on a continuous plastic carrier for maximum compatibility with automated or semi-automated power installation tools. This insert yields a permanently wear-resistant thread that optimizes joint load distribution, shielding critical industrial, electronic, and vacuum-environment assemblies against stripping and structural erosion.
Free-Running Profile Provides a smooth, conventional internal thread track that allows standard mating bolts to rotate unhindered without added torque resistance or specialized friction.
Nitronic 60 Composition Offers superior inherent anti-galling performance and wear resistance, making it perfect for vacuum applications and eliminating the need for extra coatings or lubrication.
Strip-Feed Packaging Aligns wire thread inserts on a continuous plastic carrier strip to drastically accelerate production line throughput when integrated with power installation tooling.
Tanged Configuration Features a traditional driven installation tang that provides positive mechanical engagement with standard mandrels for highly accurate depth seating.
