 How a Recoil wire thread insert works
Recoil inserts are rolled from high quality stainless steel wire with
a diamond shaped cross section, wound to the shape of a spring thread.
Once the insert is installed into a tapped hole, it provides a permanent
and wear resistant thread in the parent material designed to be
stronger than the original thread.
The inserts are greater in diameter than the corresponding tapped
hole and compress as they are installed. This allows maximum surface
contact area with the tapped thread, safely and permanently anchoring
the inserts into place.
The insert’s compensatory action shares the load over the entire bolt
and hole, increasing holding or pull out strength. With a Recoil insert
in place, load and stress are more evenly distributed.
Recoil inserts are installed in four easy steps...
