Screw Thread Inserts

Types of Inserts
There are two styles of Heli-Coil inserts.
The standard or FREE RUNNING insert
which provides a smooth free-running
thread; and SCREW-LOCKING which
provides self-locking torque on the male
member by a series of chords on one
or more of the insert coils. They are both
available in Tanged and Tangless; Inch and
Metric series.
(Note: Inch series Screw-Locking inserts are dyed red for identification.)
Free Running Insert
Screw-Locking Insert
Heli-Coil inserts are precision formed coils of

extremely hard, diamond shaped 304 stainless steel.
When installed into an STI tapped hole, they provide
permanent conventional 60 internal screw threads.
This assembled insert accommodates any standard bolt
or screw as per MIL-S-7742 and AS8879 (UNJ controlled
root radius). Inserts can be custom made in all materials
listed on p. 9.
Heli-Coil tanged inserts are larger in diameter
before installation than the tapped hole. During installation,
the inserting tool applies torque to the tang reducing
the diameter of the leading coil permitting it to enter
the tapped thread. After installation, each high tensile
coil of the insert expands outward with a spring-like
action permanently anchoring the insert.
Diamond Shaped Wire
Illustration of the Retention Principle
Tanged Size Range:

UNC #1 through 1-1/2
Metric Coarse M2 through M39
UNF #2 through 1-1/2

Metric Fine M8 through M39
Inserts are also available in UNEF, UNS, 8UN, 12UN, 16UN, Spark Plug and Pipe Thread.
Tangless inserts eliminate the need for tang break-off and retrieval. Since no
loose tangs are left behind, they become the solution when Foreign Object Debris (FOD)
cannot be present in critical applications. Loose tangs can potentially cause damage and
result in the need for costly repairs.
Tangless inserts are manufactured using the same materials as standard inserts and
provide the same superior performance characteristics. They are available in Free
Running and Screw-Locking and in inch and metric series, coarse and fine.
Tangless Size Range:

Tangless Free Running Insert
UNC #2 through 1/4 UNF #10 and 1/4

Metric Coarse M2.5 through M6

Screw Thread Inserts
Features & Benefits

Heli-Coil inserts provide a positive means for protecting and strengthening
tapped threads in any material. The unique design features of the insert offer
many benefits.
Stronger Assemblies
Tapped threads are strengthened because the inherent flexibility of the insert provides
a more balanced distribution of dynamic and static loads throughout the length of thread
engagement. This flexibility also compensates for variation in lead and angle error allowing
each coil to carry its share of the load.
No Thread Wear
Thread life is dramatically increased even after repeated assembly and disassembly
because the insert hardness and surface finish practically eliminate erosion of the
thread form due to frictional wear.
Corrosion Resistance
Under normal environmental conditions, Heli-Coil inserts minimize galvanic action within
the threaded assembly because of their superior corrosion resistance.
Design Flexibility
Bolt tensile strength can be balanced against parent material shear strength, assuring
bolt failure rather than parent material damage. Five insert lengths are available in each
thread size.
Eliminate Stress
Virtually no stress is introduced into the parent material because there is no staking,
locking, swaging or keying in place the outward spring-like action of the insert
holds it in place.
Minimize Space & Weight
Heli-Coil inserts allow the use of smaller bosses and flanges than any other insert.
Heli-Coil inserts can generally be incorporated into existing designs, where no other
provision has been made for an insert, without increasing boss size.
Minimize Total Cost
Cost savings abound. Lower insert cost, lower installation cost and Heli-Coil inserts provide
design flexibility by allowing a wide choice of parent materials while maintaining maximum
threaded assembly strength.
True Clamping Torque
Maximum clamping action and bolt tension are assured with minimum wrench torque
because of the mirror-smooth surface finish of Heli-Coil inserts.
Wide Temperature Range
Heli-Coil stainless steel inserts can be used in temperatures ranging from -320F to +800F.
High Volume Production

Heli-Coil inserts are available mounted
on plastic strips and wound onto reels
(500 or 1000 inserts per reel). With power
installation tooling, use of strip feed inserts
will substantially increase installation rates
by minimizing handling.
Universal Acceptance
Heli-Coil Standard and Screw-Locking Inserts
are the original and have an extensive
background of tension, torque, shear,
vibration and fatigue tests conducted by
American industrys leading companies
as well as the U.S. Military. Successful
applications in the fields of aviation,
electronics, industrial, automotive and
military equipment provide a wealth
of experience and confidence in the
performance and reliability of Heli-Coil
inserts.

Screw-Locking Inserts
Locking Inserts
Heli-Coil offers three types of Locking Inserts for multiple applications.
Screw-Locking Inserts
A resilient locking mechanism that grips the bolt and prevents it from
loosening under vibration or impact.
Repeated assembly and disassembly without appreciable loss
of positive self-locking torque.
Savings in space, weight and money, through the elimination
of lock wiring, lock nuts, lock washers, chemical compounds,
plastic pellets/patches and/or other locking mechanisms.
Inch inserts dyed red for easy identification.
The locking action is achieved by

one or more of the insert coils having a
series of straight segments or chords.
Meets NASM8846, MA1565, NASM21209, MA3329,

MA3330, MA3331.
Hi-Torque Inserts
Similar to Screw-Locking but with higher prevailing torque which compensates
for reduced friction in highly lubricated applications.
Ideal for higher vibration applications.
Approximate 40% increase in prevailing torque levels.
Available in #10 through 3/8" UNF only.
Meets AS1394, AS3094, AS3095, AS3096, AS3097.
When the bolt enters the grip coil,

these chordal segments flex outward,
creating pressure on the bolt. The pressure
is exerted between the flanks of the bolt
thread to establish an extensive positive
and consistent self-locking torque over
more cycles than any other prevailing
torque mechanism.
Stud-Lock Inserts
Highest prevailing torque insert available.
Enables use of threaded rod for space-saving stud applications.
Allows for any class fit of threaded rod.
Eliminates inconsistencies caused by interference-fit studs.
Available for both straight and step studs, #10 through 1/2" UNC and UNF.
Meets AS1229, AS3080, AS3081, AS3082, AS3083.

Design Data
Assembly Strength
Guidelines for use of table:
Heli-Coil offers maximum design flexibility while adhering to conservative engineering practice
allowing use of Heli-Coil inserts in virtually any application or material. Five lengths of inserts
are available. In this design manual, the lengths are listed as multiples of the nominal thread
diameter of the screw; 1, 1-, 2, 2-, and 3. This choice of insert length balances the bolt
tensile strength against the shear strength of the parent material. This allows for the design of
assemblies where the bolt will fail before the parent material. Tables III and IV below show the
length of insert to be used with different combinations of bolts and parent materials.
1. When the parent material shear strength

falls between two listed values, use the lower
of the two values.

2. Parent material shear strengths are for room

temperature. For applications at elevated
temperatures, the shear strength of the
material at that temperature must be determined for proper selection of bolt and insert
length.
3. Be sure that the engaged thread length
of the bolt is at least as long as the fully
tapped thread depth for the size selected
(Dimension C, Tables VII & VIII, p. 20 -21).

Assembly strength is a function of shear area

and the shear strength of both the bolt and
parent material. For detailed charts on specific
load values, Heli-Coil Technical Bulletin 68-2 (inch)
or Engineering Standard PP15 (metric) covers
the complete range of sizes, parent materials and
bolt strengths.

Corrosion Protection Methods

PARENT MATERIAL TREATMENT
Method 1
Aluminum: For oxide coating use Alodine, Anodize, Iridite, Hard Coat or equivalent. Iridite 14 or
14-2 (MIL-C-5541) is recommended for critical parts rather than anodizing (MIL-S-5002).
Magnesium: For oxide coating use Iridite 15 or dichromate surface treatments. For HAE
finishes, always plug tapped holes first.
INSERT TREATMENT
Method 2 Coat the insert with one of the following:
Dry Film Lubricant per AS5272 (MIL-L 46010) (no graphite) or when required by Mil Spec only,
Cadmium per QQ-P-416, Type II, .0001" thick.
Method 3 Utilize Heli-Coil Primer-Free II coated inserts. Alternatively, separate the parent
material from the insert by using liquid zinc chromate primer. Apply the primer to the hole
sparingly and install the insert while the primer is still wet.
In addition to the above methods, further corrosion protection can be achieved by:
a. Using blind holes wherever possible.
b. Using a sealing, insulating or step-down (5052 Alum.) washer under the head of the bolt.
c. Using bolts that extend completely through the length of the insert.
d. In critical applications, using a non-hardening sealer or compound on the threaded assembly.

The effect of corrosion on threaded

assemblies is dependent on many factors environment, types of metals used, sealing
mechanisms and length of service. The
following recommendations apply for
minimizing the effects of corrosion on
Heli-Coil stainless steel insert assemblies
at operating temperatures less than 800F,
using carbon steel or alloy steel bolts.
The following definitions apply
Normal Service. Natural atmosphere
environment with the screw always assembled
in the insert.
Severe Service. Mildly contaminated
atmospheric conditions involving moisture,
occasional exposure to salty air or sea spray
and the screw may be left out of the insert for
extended periods of time.
Extremely Severe Service. Assembly is
exposed to salt water, corrosive atmosphere
and/or the screw is out of the assembly
frequently allowing a blind hole to trap water.

Notes on Insert Specifications:
1. Nominal Length is a computed value and cannot be measured. It is the actual assembled length + 1/2 pitch.
2. The number of coils are counted 90 from the tang.
3. Grip Coil(s) Location for 1, 1-1/2 and 2 diameter long inserts, Grip Coil Location = 1/2 the number of free coils. For 2-1/2 and 3 diameter long inserts, Grip Coil
Location (distance from the tang) is the same as 2 diameter long inserts.

Assembly Design
Boss Dimensions
Class of Fit
Standard boss configurations may be used with Heli-Coil inserts.
Since Heli-Coil inserts are flexible, the class of fit of the final
assembly is a function of the tapped hole. Heli-Coil STI (Screw
Thread Insert) taps are available in inch series for both Class 2B and
3B. Metric Classes include 5H and 4H5H. Class 2B or 5H tapped
holes provide widest production tolerances while Class 3B or 4H5H
holes provide slightly tighter tolerances.
A boss diameter of twice the nominal bolt size is adequate for most
load conditions. For critical applications, the boss diameter should be
twice the Heli-Coil tap major diameter (Tables VII & VIII, p. 20-21).
Boss thickness is a function of the size and length of the insert chosen
and the particular requirements of the component being designed.
The use of Heli-Coil inserts generally minimizes the size of the boss
because their high strength characteristics allow for smaller or fewer
fasteners.
Class 3B or 4H5H holes are recommended for Screw-Locking

applications.
Bolt Projection
Torque Assembly Data
Standard bolts and screws that need no special

hardware are used with Heli-Coil inserts. The bolt
must engage the entire insert to insure maximum
assembly strength. It is strongly recommended that the
tang always be removed and bolt projection be equal
to the full tapped thread depth (Dimension C,
Tables VII & VIII, p. 20-21). If design limitations
prohibit this, contact us to obtain minimum bolt
projection data.
The torque to utilize for the mating fastener

for Free Running inserts is per the bolt
manufacturer's recommendation. The value
for Screw-Locking inserts is also per the bolt
manufacturer's recommendation, as well as
the maximum locking torque. (See p.10)
Material Thickness
The minimum material thickness for through hole assemblies is equal to the Insert
Nominal Length (Dimension Q, p.12-13), without a countersink and the insert installed
1/4-1/2 pitch below the surface. For production, the hole should be counter-sunk, and
the insert installed 3/41-1/2 pitch below the surface. In this case the minimum material
thickness is Q + 1 pitch.

Production Engineering Data

Engineering Data
Conventional machining methods are used for Heli-Coil assemblies.
The process is simple 1. Drill 2. Countersink 3. Tap 4. Gage
1. Drilling
The suggested drill sizes listed for aluminum in Tables V & VI,
p. 18-19, are within the minor diameter limits specified in
NASM33537 or MA1567. Drill sizes listed for steel, magnesium
and plastic are larger (in most cases) allowing for parent material
close-in in soft materials and increased tap wear life in hard
materials.
The drill depths listed in this table allow for tap end clearance,
maximum insert set-down, countersink, and the chamfer on the
tap. These drill depths are minimum and should be increased where
possible, especially when using Spiral Pointed Taps, to allow for chip
clearance. The formula for the drill depth is given on p.18-19.
2. Countersinking
Countersinking the drilled hole is recommended to prevent a feather
edge at the top of the tapped hole and to help guide the insert into
the tapped threads. A 120 included angle countersink is necessary
to insure that the angle of the tapped thread and the countersink
are the same (120 2 = 60 tapped thread).
Heli-Coil taps for free machining materials are listed in Tables IX &
XII, p.22 & 24 Class 2B (inch), 5H metric and 3B (inch) or 4H5H (metric) tapped holes. (Class of fit recommendations are given on p.14).
There are four types of taps listed:
a. Straight, Flute, Plug & Bottoming style which are used
for hand and short run production.
b. Spiral Point Plug taps (chips are pushed forward) are used
for through holes and blind hole with ample chip clearance at the
bottom.
c. High Spiral Flute Bottoming taps (chips are pulled out of
the hole) are used for deep or blind holes in soft stringy materials
and holes with minimal chip clearance.
d. Roughing taps (7/16-1") are available for materials difficult to
tap to reduce the load and wear on the finishing tap.
If it is necessary to decrease the Minimum Depth of the drilled
and tapped hole, one or more of the following steps may be helpful:

Action
Amount of Reduction
Remove the male center on plug taps

5/16, M8 & under
one half of the bolt

diameter
3. Tapping
Use a bottoming tap
2 pitches
The dimensions for the depth of the full tapped thread (Dimension C,
Tables VII & VIII, p.20-21) are MINIMUM for blind holes with countersinks. For through holes without a countersink the minimum full
tapped thread depth must be equal to the insert nominal length
(Dimension Q, p.12-13).
Eliminate the countersink
1/2 pitch
Reduce insert set-down to 1/4-1/2 pitch up to 1/2 pitch
4. Gaging
Heli-Coil thread plug gages should be used to check the tapped holes
before insert installation and according to sampling plan. See p.26-27
for gage part numbers and further gaging data.

Drilling Data Inch
The minimum drilling depths shown below allow for the following
recommended practices:
1. Countersinking the drilled hole to prevent a feather edge at the
start of the tapped hole.
2. 3/4 1-1/2 pitch of insert set-down to allow for maximum
production tolerance. Dimensions are shown for both plug and bottoming taps.

Drilling Data Metric

For Plug Taps 5/16 or M8 and smaller.
A is equal to the insert nominal length (Q) + the nominal bolt diameter + 5 Pitch
(allowing for tap chamfer, countersink and maximum set-down).
Note: Plug taps 5/16" or M8 and smaller

have a male center and the drilled hole
depth dimensions allow for this length
(one half of the diameter of the bolt).
For Plug Taps 3/8 or M10 and larger.

A is equal to the insert nominal length (Q) + 5 Pitch (allowing for tap chamfer, counter sink
and maximum set-down).
Calculation of dimension A is described to

the left and on p. 18.
For Bottoming Taps.

A is equal to the insert nominal length (Q) + 3 Pitch (allowing for tap chamfer, countersink
and maximum set-down).
Note: Q dimensions are on p.12-13.

Tapping Data Inch
The minimum tapping depths shown below (Dimension C) are

the minimum for countersunk holes and an insert set-down of
1 1/2 pitch maximum. The calculation for Dimension C is:
C is equal to insert nominal length + 1 Pitch.
The tapped hole must be held within the stated pitch diameter
limits for the required class of fit for the installed Heli-Coil insert.
When anodize, Iridite or other finishes are used, all tapped hole
dimensions must be met after the finishes are applied.

Tapping Data Metric

Heli-Coil taps in various types and styles produce holes for Tolerance
Classes 4H5H or 3B and 5H or 2B for use in the general range of
aluminums, magnesiums, mild steels, free machining stainless steels
and other free machining materials.
The tapped hole must be held within the stated pitch diameter
limits for the required Tolerance Class of fit for the installed Heli-Coil
insert. For Standard (free running inserts), a tolerance class 5H or 2B
is recommended. For Screw-Locking inserts, a tolerance class 4H5H
or 3B is recommended in order to develop higher locking torques.
Conventional shop practice and production procedures, speeds,

feeds and lubricants should be used in combination with proper
fixturing and good tapping machines or tapping heads.

STI Tap Part Numbers Inch

SPIRAL POINTED PLUG & SPIRAL FLUTE. Used for
efficient chip disposal in production tapping operations. Available
in sizes up to 1/2".
STRAIGHT FLUTE TAPS. Widely used for general hand and

machine tapping operations. Available in sizes up to 1-1/2".
Plug Style (4 Thread Chamfer).
Used in thru holes and blind holes that allow for ample chip
clearance. Easier to start and require less tapping torque than
bottoming taps.
Spiral Pointed Plug (4 Thread Chamfer). Widely

used in long thru holes and blind holes with ample chip clearance.
Incorporates an angular grind at the point end of the tap which
shears chips and drives them forward of the tap. They are free
cutting and provide increased tap strength. Not recommended for
abrasive materials.
Bottoming Style (2 Thread Chamfer).

Used in blind holes drilled to a minimum depth that requires threads
be close to the bottom of the hole.

STRAIGHT FLUTE TAPS. Widely used for general hand and

machine tapping operations. Available in sizes up to 39mm.
Plug Style (4 Thread Chamfer).
Used in thru holes and in blind holes that allow for ample chip
clearance. Easier to start and require less tapping torque than
bottoming taps.
Bottoming Style (2 Thread Chamfer).
Used in blind holes drilled to a minimum depth that requires
threads be close to the bottom of the hole.
SPIRAL POINTED PLUG & SPIRAL FLUTE. Used for

efficient chip disposal in production tapping operations. Available in
sizes up to 12mm.
Spiral Pointed Plug (4 Thread Chamfer).
Used widely in long thru holes and blind holes with ample chip
clearance. Incorporates an angular grind at the point end of
the tap which shears chips and drives them forward of the tap.
They are free cutting and provide increased tap strength.
Not recommended for abrasive materials.

Is the tapped hole correct?

Accuracy of the finished thread when the insert is installed
is dependent upon the accuracy of the tapped hole. If the
finished tapped hole gages satisfactorily, the installed insert
will be within the thread tolerance.
It is not necessary to gage the installed insert.
After the insert is installed, the GO thread plug gage may
not enter freely; however, the insert will always seat itself
when the bolt or screw is installed and tightened. (Reference
NASM33537).
Gage handles and all gage nibs are marked with the
extreme product limits for the particular size and class of fit.
(See p. 20-21, Tables VII & VIII, Pitch Diameter Limits.)
When gaging tapped holes which have been thoroughly
cleaned or which have a protective finish applied, the
gage should always be lubricated with light oil.
HI nib may enter provided a definite drag results on or
before 3rd turn from entry Ref. FED-STD-H28, Screw
thread Standards for Federal Services.

Reference gages have pitch diameters on or close to minimum

(basic size). They are essentially laboratory or master gages
and should be used in case of conflict between two working
gages. Conflict can occur when one of the gages has
experienced more use and wear.

Tanged Tooling
TOOLS FOR TANGED INSERTS
mandrel and 3 spacers (1 for each length of insert to be installed).

The versatility and adaptability of Heli-Coil power inserting tools is
shown on p. 32. The tool can be hand held, vertically or horizontally
mounted, and adapted to both semi-automatic and fully automatic
installation stations. Heli-Coil power inserting tools can be adapted
to assembly stations, rotary tables and transfer lines.
Both hand and power tools are available to install tanged inserts.
The various tools to install Heli-Coil inserts are presented on the
following pages.
For production runs, prototype work, salvage, and repair,
hand inserting tools are available. For high volume production,
power inserting tools are also available. Both types of tools are
dimensioned (p.29 & 31) to aid determination of accessibility to
the tapped hole.
All Heli-Coil tooling is backed by our extensive expertise and

experience in virtually any application. All tools are fully warranteed.
In addition, our Application Engineering Department is always
available to assist in installation techniques and special tooling
(longer or shorter length tools, etc.). For very high production,
Heli-Coil will provide for the successful development of automated
installation systems.
Both hand and power inserting tools feature a threaded mandrel

which engages the insert and provides a positive lead to guide the
insert into the tapped hole easily and quickly.
Power inserting tools consist of an air motor, adapter and front
end assembly. The front end assembly consists of a prewinder,
HAND INSTALLATION TOOLS

Heli-Coil manufactures various designs of hand
inserting tools.
Generally, finer pitch inserts are proportionately
larger in the free state than coarse pitch inserts
and thus have to be pre-wound to a smaller
diameter for installation.
Large coarse pitch inserts need only a
threaded mandrel tool for installation.
TYPE I
Threaded Mandrel
Ideal for small production runs;

for use with free running and
screw locking inserts.
TYPE III
Threaded Mandrel
Inserts are wound onto the mandrel prior to

installation; threads prevent any cross threading.
- 28 -
TYPE II
Prewinder
Prewinder reduces the diameter of the
insert to that of the tapped hole allowing
for easy installation.
TYPE IV
Non-Captive Prewinder
Similar to Type III but includes a prewinder to

facilitate insert installation process.

Electronic Power Installation Tool

Heli-Coil offers an electronic power tool where electric power is preferred over air. The
slender configuration of the mandrels allows them to reach into constricted areas. Electric
power meets the requirements of clean room operations. Operators prefer electric power
because it is quieter. The electronic tool is

Power Tool Holder

The Power Tool Holder 23537
is mounted on a bench and the
appropriate air motor is attached to
a movable arm. A mounting arm is
also provided for attaching reels
of strip-feed inserts.
This configuration ensures accurate
vertical (square to work surface)
installations of Heli-Coil inserts in
relatively large parts. The tool holder
is capable of installing inserts
within a radius of 26 inches
as well as on multiple planes.

Tang Removal/Extraction Tools

Heli-Coil
Tang Break-Off Tools
The driving tangs of Heli-Coil tanged
inserts must be removed to eliminate
their interference with the end of the
assembled bolt.
Heli-Coil tang break-off tools are available
for use with inserts through 1/2 inch and
12mm metric nominal diameter. Their
operation is automatic, having a spring
loaded, easily triggered punch that strikes
a sharp, uniform blow against the tang of
the installed insert. The tool can be operated
with one hand.

Occasionally Heli-Coil inserts

must be removed. Inserts can
be removed manually with
little effort. This is done by
inserting the blade of the extracting
tool into the Heli-Coil insert so
that the V section of the blade is
toward the top end of the insert.
Strike the head of the tool with a light blow.
Maintaining a steady pressure of blade
against insert, turn the extracting
tool counterclockwise until the insert
is removed.
