Los filetes insertos HELICOIL®: la solución para reforzar y reparar roscas

Even today, the most widely used fastener remains the screw. Highly developed high-strength screws reduce the size or number of screws required. However, only high-strength threads can achieve durable and robust connections. For over 65 years, HELICOIL® has been used in these applications: a flagship product that continues to lead the market and remain at the forefront of fastening technology. These threads are manufactured from a rhomboid-profiled wire with an elastic spiral shape. These inserted threads create highly precise threads that are resistant to wear, stress, high temperatures, and corrosion, while minimizing friction with tight tolerances. HELICOIL® is installed similarly to a screw, but the reinforced threading technique enhances strength and allows for the repair of damaged threads. Furthermore, HELICOIL® ensures uniform load and stress distribution, and we offer numerous variations to guarantee the most suitable solution for a wide range of requirements. One of its variants, HELICOIL® Plus, was created for use in high-temperature environments, such as printing presses and joints subject to frequent disassembly, but also for repairs and maintenance. In addition to this type, there are other variants: HELICOIL® Plus "Free running" (resulting in an internal thread that can be checked with calipers and is reversible), and HELICOIL® Plus Screwlock, which offers the same advantages as the HELICOIL® Plus "Free running" threads, but also features a thread design that acts as a brake on the screw: the threads of HELICOIL® Plus Screwlock have one or more polygonal loops that create friction, preventing the screw from loosening (due to thermal shock or vibration). There is also a HELICOIL® without a threading mechanism: HELICOIL® Tangfree. The latest generation: HELICOIL® Smart.
