1. Standards
The following standards apply for "wire thread inserts for the metric ISO thread"
– DIN 8140-1 dimensions, technical specifications
– DIN 8140-2 helical coil threads for inserts, thread tolerances
– DIN 8140-3 gauges and gauge sizes
These standards apply for ISO metric coarse pitch threads and fine pitch threads.
Details for additional deliverable thread types (BSW/BSF, UNC/UNJC/UNF/UNJF, GAZ, BSP) are available upon request.
2. Field of application/materials/properties
– Initial use: for heavy-duty and long-lasting inside threads partly from metallic and non-metallic materials
– Use during repairs/follow-up work: as a replacement for unusable threads (= damaged/worn).
The particular properties of wire thread inserts are
– reduced inclination for cold welding with screwed fastenings
– mostly constant friction coefficient
– good temperature and corrosion resistance
– with profile B "locking" (➜ 4) additional resistance against independent loosening of the screwed fastenings thanks to increased frictional locking in
the thread.
Beyond the standard material in stock "Stainless steel 18.8 (A2)", wire thread inserts from special materials are deliverable for particular usage
requirements ➜ Table 1.

250 °C (longer period) processes
3. Manufacture
The thread inserts are manufactured from a wire with rhombus-shaped cross-section. After the winding process, they have two threaded profiles, one
outside for the insertion into the tool's receiving thread according to DIN 8140-2 and one inside (after insertion) for receiving a screw thread.
4. Types
According to DIN 8140-1, the profiles are differentiated according to:
Type A Type B
– Type A = cylindrical shape* for coarse and fine threads.
– Type B = "locking" (like type A, but with centrally positioned, polygon,
elastic windings (➜ 2)
(type B thread inserts are identifiable by their red colour).
* The new generation of the "Type SR" AMECOIL thread inserts is designed in such a way that insertion
is now easier and safer, thus increasing productivity.
