Helicoil is a type of threaded insert used to repair or reinforce threads in materials such as metal, plastic, and composite materials. These inserts are helically coiled wire inserts made from materials such as stainless steel, phosphor bronze, and Inconel. Helicoil inserts are commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics and manufacturing to repair damaged or worn threads by providing stronger, more reliable, and durable threads. They are resistant to vibration, thermal cycling and can be used to repair damaged or stripped threads in a wide range of materials.
Helicoil inserts are installed using specialized tools such as taps and installation mandrels. The installation process involves drilling a hole in the material to be repaired or reinforced, tapping the hole to create threads, and then screwing in the helicoil insert using the installation mandrel. They come in a variety of sizes and thread pitches to accommodate different applications and materials. They are available in metric and inch sizes with thread pitches ranging from coarse to fine.
Our helicoil range at Khodiyar offers a cost-effective and efficient solution for repairing damaged or worn threads, and can also be used to reinforce and strengthen threads in new applications.
