Product Description
The Heli-Coil MS21209C0615LSF by Stanley Engineered Fastening is a military-standard, high-performance screw-locking tanged insert engineered to establish exceptionally strong internal threads in low-strength parent materials. Cold-rolled from premium 304 stainless steel wire with a diamond-shaped cross section, this wire thread insert compensates for pitch and angle errors to optimize joint load distribution. Designed with an exclusive screw-locking configuration, it features one or more specialized straight segments or chords on the coils that exert a resilient, self-locking torque onto the male fastener, preventing it from loosening under extreme vibration or impact. Packed in a strip-feed configuration to optimize automated production lines, this insert creates a permanently wear-resistant thread that defends critical aerospace, defense, and industrial assemblies against stripping and thread erosion.
Screw-Locking Mechanism Grips the male bolt or screw with a resilient internal locking thread, ensuring a secure, vibration-proof joint without the need for lock-washers or auxiliary locking devices.
Strip-Feed Assembly Delivers the wire inserts precision-aligned on a continuous plastic strip to maximize production throughput when integrated with power installation tooling.
Tanged Configuration Features a traditional driven installation tang that provides positive mechanical engagement with the mandrel during the seating process into the tapped hole.
High Structural Integrity Automatically expands outward upon installation to anchor itself permanently, providing wear-resistant threads that dynamically adapt to material expansion and contraction.
