Strategic Source Components offers a wide range of wire threaded inserts from Recoil® .
The Recoil system consists of precision inserts, quality high speed taps, and easy-to-use installation tools which are used for repairing damaged screw threads or creating strong new threads. Recoil helically wound screw-thread inserts are generally manufactured from Type 304 (18-8) stainless steel wire cold rolled into a diamond shaped cross section. Recoil inserts can be supplied in other materials such as Inconel X750, Inconel 625, Nimonic 90, Nitronic 60, Phosphor Bronze and Type 316 stainless steel.
Recoil inserts are available in either standard free running form or screw lock type which provides an internal locking feature. Inserts are manufactured for every thread form including UNC, UNF, BSC, BSW, BSP, BSF, BA, NPT and ISO Metric thread sizes. Inserts are available in 5 different standard lengths. 1D, 1.5D, 2D, 2.5D and 3D. Special lengths are available on request.
Recoil inserts are formed from high quality stainless steel wire with a diamond shaped cross section, wound to the shape of a spring thread. Once the wire is wound into a helical coil and installed into a tapped hole, it provides a permanent and wear resistant thread in the parent material that is generally stronger than the original thread. The inserts are designed to be greater in diameter than the 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 pull out and torque out strength. With a Recoil insert in place, load and stress are more evenly distributed over the assembly.
Recoil inserts are installed in four easy steps…
