Heli-Coil screw thread inserts are perfect for equipment, repair applications

Heli-Coil inserts by Stanley Engineered Fastening are available in Canada from Gould Fasteners.

Gould Fasteners remains a top Canadian supplier of a wide range of industrial fastening products from a base of major manufacturers, including Stanley Engineered Fastening. Stanley is the producer of Heli-Coil screw thread inserts, designed to eliminate stress and increase strength in many equipment and repair applications.

Heli-Coil inserts are precision-formed screw thread coils of stainless steel wire with diamond-shaped cross sections, manufactured by Stanley in four different designs. These screw thread inserts are most recommended for the aerospace industry, but are also highly useful for applications in general manufacturing, military, telecommunications, and the automotive sector.

Lightweight, but with structural integrity

Stanley’s Heli-Coil fasteners have the advantage of being lightweight while also emulating the structural integrity of joints fastened with bolts or screws. Locking and non-locking configurations are available, making these inserts adaptable for a variety of applications.

Among the other notable benefits of these inserts from Gould Fasteners:

• Minimal space. These screw thread inserts enable the use of smaller bosses, as well as repairs in areas where no insert provisions have been made.
• Corrosion resistance. Stanley builds these products out of corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel, with alternate materials for specialized applications.
• Less stress with more strength. Each insert coil carries a portion of the load, which strengthens the assembly.

Businesses in the aerospace sector frequently rely on these screw thread inserts, which come in handy in engines, cockpits, tray tables, overhead bins, skeletals, seats, interior bathroom cabins, guidance systems, and fuel pumps.

Stanley produces seven basic designs of Heli-Coil inserts: tanged screw thread; tangless screw thread; pipe thread; self-tapping screw thread for wood; spark plug screw thread; eight-pitch screw thread; and Oversize and Twinsert screw thread.

Heli-Coil primer-free inserts are also available, to eliminate the need for liquid primer, which can cause stains and clog installation tools. Primer-free inserts can save money and time while improving quality.

Trust Heli-Coil for top-quality fastening results.
