Product Description
The Heli-Coil 1185-2EN328 by Stanley Engineered Fastening is a premium tanged free-running insert designed to create high-strength, permanent internal threads in low-density parent materials. Precision-rolled from high-strength Nitronic 60 stainless steel wire with a distinct diamond-shaped cross-section, this wire thread insert adjusts to the natural thermal expansion of assemblies without loosening. Its advanced material configuration provides exceptional anti-galling performance, effectively preventing galling and thread binding during installation and operation. Packaged on a continuous strip-feed reel, it minimizes cycle times and maximizes factory throughput when integrated with automated power tools, delivering a permanently wear-resistant thread that shields critical infrastructure against stripping and structural erosion.
Free-Running Profile Provides a completely smooth, conventional internal thread track that allows standard mating bolts to rotate freely without added torque resistance.
Nitronic 60 Composition Offers superior inherent anti-galling properties and wear resistance, completely eliminating the need for separate anti-seize lubricants.
Strip-Feed Packaging Delivers the inserts aligned on a continuous plastic strip to significantly accelerate production throughput when paired with power installation tools.
Tanged Configuration Features a traditional driven installation tang that provides clean mechanical engagement with standard mandrels for controlled depth seating.
