Product Description
The Heli-Coil 1185-2CN164 by Stanley Engineered Fastening is a high-strength tanged free-running insert precisely engineered to provide permanent, high-integrity internal threads in lightweight parent materials like aluminum, magnesium, and zinc die-castings. Cold-rolled from premium 304 stainless steel wire with a uniform diamond-shaped cross-section, this wire thread insert automatically expands elastically outward upon installation to establish a secure, spring-like retention force without requiring specialized keying or staking. Yielding a permanently wear-resistant thread, it balances joint load distribution evenly to prevent miniature hardware configurations from thread stripping, galling, and structural failure under continuous environmental fatigue.
Free-Running Profile Delivers a clean, conventional internal thread track that allows standard mating coarse bolts and fasteners to turn completely unhindered without added friction or torque resistance.
Tanged Configuration Features a traditional driven installation tang that provides positive mechanical engagement with standard mandrels for controlled and highly accurate depth seating into tapped holes.
High Structural Integrity Compensates for pitch and angle variances within tapped parent metals, dispersing concentrated joint loads evenly to elevate overall assembly fatigue life.
Resilient Wire Construction Utilizes a continuous helically wound diamond profile that handles thermal expansion and contraction elastically while safeguarding against stripping.
