HELICOIL® Smart: el inserto inteligente para crear uniones de alta resistencia

The innovative HELICOIL® Smart technology represents a further advancement in Böllhoff's HELICOIL® threading technology. The novelty lies in its threaded insert with a built-in guide that doesn't require breaking. This intelligent insert combines the advantages of HELICOIL® Plus and HELICOIL® Tangfree. It's a fastening solution with a guide, but without one: there's no need to break or remove it, and no risk of the guide remaining in the component. The HELICOIL® Smart thread creates high-strength threads by transferring forces from side to side in the receiving thread. Made with a rhombic profile thread, it also forms an elastic spiral. In its Free Running version, it runs freely, turning each turn to create a perfectly calibrated internal female thread that can be used from either side. Creating the thread simply requires the Smart setting tool, which is about the size of a tap. The most innovative feature is the ability to control the cutting blade position. When screwed in, the blade acts as a pusher, and when unscrewed, it transforms into a compression and bending tool. In other words, it's a dual-function placement rod. The HELICOIL® Smart placement process is fully automated and very easy to use, yet delivers highly accurate results. It's a highly efficient system that reduces assembly time by approximately 20%, and has the advantage that the fastener and placement device are from the same supplier. Furthermore, it allows for minimal depth blind holes, making it ideal for pre-assembled subassemblies, etc.
