LOKSERT Stainless Steel Heavy Duty Internal Thread Locking Metric Fine
Loksert keylocking inserts are an easily installed thread assembly that is ideal for replacing damaged or worn threads in virtually any material – ferrous, non-ferrous, and non-metallic.
One piece Loksert inserts are supplied with the dove-tailed locking keys pre-assembled.
The pre-positioned keys automatically position the insert at the correct depth below the surface of the parent material.
Lokserts are suitable for repairing and creating threads in a wide range of applications including forgings and castings and are especially suited to situations that experience heavy wear and vibrations – such as mining, construction and earthmoving equipment.
High strength and reliability provides maximum pullout strength.
Installed using standard drills and taps.
Simple installation; no special skills required.
Suitable for use in a wide range of parent materials.
Impossible to cross thread during installation.
Simple removal process if required.
No tang to break and remove.
Loksert Internal thread locking inserts are designed to securely lock the installed fastener into the insert after only a few turns.
The locking torque requirements are within the range specified by MIL-I-45914.
The locking function maintains sufficient locking torque to prevent the fastener vibrating loose even after multiple installation and removal cycles.
To ensure maximum performance UNC bolts should be Class 3A with the pitch diameter in the lower 50% of full tolerance. Metric bolts should be Class 4h.
Bolts should be installed 4 turns after contact with the reduced diameter locking thread.
Insufficient turns may not create the required torque and more turns will wear the locking thread prematurely.
