| Thread
Inserts |
| 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 cound 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, Nimonic 90, Phosphor Bronze and Type 316
stainless steel.
Recoil
inserts are available in either standard free running from 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. |

also offer a selection of work arms and power tooling, including
high efficiency pneumatic and electric installation tools for
in-line production or repetitive maintenance situations. A range of
associated tooling is available to facilitate insert installation,
including manual installation tooling and manual, spring and
penumatic operated tang breakoff tools. |

and Gauges |
| Optimum
results can be achieved with Recoils range of taps and gauges to
suit hand tapping through to volume production requirements. Using
the "Go - NoGo" gauge, tapped holes can be gauged to
enable a precision fit. |

| How
does a Recoil Insert Work |
| Recoil
inserts are rolled from haigh 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 inserts compensatory action
shares the load over the entire bolt and hole increasing holding or
pull out strength. With a Recoil insert in place, load and stress
are more evenly distributed. |
