Heli-Coil 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
series, coarse and fine; Metric series,
coarse and fine. Inch series Screw-Locking
inserts are dyed red for identification.
Tanged Free Running Insert
Tanged 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 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.

Illustration of the Retention Principle
Tanged Size Range:

UNC #1 through 1-1/2
UNF #2 through 1-1/2
Metric Coarse M2 through M39 Metric Fine M8 through M39
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
Screwing Locking and in inch series,
coarse and fine.
Tangless Free Running Insert
Tangless Size Range:

UNC #2 through 1/4 UNF #10 and 1/4
Inserts are also available in UNEF, UNS, 8UN, 12UN, 16UN, Spark Plug and Pipe Thread.

Heli-Coil 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 friction.
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 use of smaller bosses, flanges and fasteners than
any other insert. Heli-Coil inserts can generally be incorporated in existing
designs, where no 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 ScrewLocking 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.
Custom Design Services
In addition to the benefits listed

above, Heli-Coil provides a wide
range of support to solve fastening
problems. This design catalog is
one of them. The following pages
are presented in a manner to make
it easy to design-in Heli-Coil
inserts to take advantage of the
extraordinary benefits they provide.

Heli-Coil 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.
Meets NASM8846, MA1565.
Hi-Torque Inserts

Similar to Screw-Lock 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.
Stud-Lock Inserts

The locking action is achieved

by one or more of the insert coils
having a series of straight segments
or chords.
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.
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.

Heli-Coil design data

Assembly Strength
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 tempera
tures, 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 H, 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).
Method 2. Magnesium: For oxide coating use Iridite 15 or dichromate surface treatments. For HAE finishes, always plug tapped holes first.
Insert treatment
Method 1. 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 2. Utilize Heli-Coil Primer-Free II coated inserts or separate the parent material
from the insert by using liquid zinc chromate primer, Federal Specification TT-P-1757.
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.

Nominal Length is a computed value and cannot be measured. It is the actual assembled length + 1/2 pitch.
The number of coils are counted 90 from the tang.
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.

Heli-Coil Tangless Inserts

Tangless Threaded Inserts provide permanent, wear
resistant screw threads that completely eliminate the
need for tang break-off and retrieval. They protect
tapped threads against failure due to stripping, corrosion
or wear. Tangless inserts are easily adjusted and easily
removed after installation.
Inserts are made from either Stainless Steel or Gall
Resistant Nitronic 60 materials and are available in 3
lengths. Finish options include Primer Free II, Dry Film
Lube (and Cadmium when required by Mil Spec.)
Stronger Assemblies
Tapped threads are strengthened because the inherent
flexibility of the insert provides a more balanced
distribution of static and dynamic loads throughout the
engagement length.
Eliminate Stress
Virtually no stress is induced into the parent material as
no staking, swaging or keying in place is required.
Bidirectional Design
Installs quickly and easily from either end.
Minimize Weight, Space and Cost
Requires smaller boss than solid inserts; minimize total
in-place cost.
Positive Self-Locking Torque
Heli-Coil Tangless screw-lock inserts provide a positive,
self-locking torque complying with the requirements of
NASM8846.

Heli-Coil assembly design

Boss Dimensions
Standard boss configurations may be used with

Heli-Coil inserts.
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 of Fit
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.
Class 3B or 4H5H holes are recommended for
Screw-Lock applications.
Bolt Projection
Standard bolts and screws that need no special hardware are used with
HC 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 H, Tables VII & VIII, p. 20-21). If design limitations prohibit
this, contact us to obtain minimum bolt projection data.
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.

Heli-Coil 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).
3. Tapping
The dimensions for the depth of the full tapped thread

(Dimension H, 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).
Heli-Coil taps for free machining materials are listed

in Tables IX & XII, p.20 & 23 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
one half of the bolt
5/16, M8 & under
diameter
Use a bottoming tap
2 pitches
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.24-25 for gage part numbers and
further gaging data.

For Plug Taps 5/16 or M8 and smaller. F 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. F is equal to the insert nominal
length (Q) + 5 Pitch (allowing for tap chamfer, counter sink and
maximum set-down).
Calculation of dimension F is
described to the left and on p. 18.
For Bottoming Taps. F is equal to the insert nominal length (Q) + 3 Pitch

TAP
The minimum tapping depths shown below (Dimension H) are

the minimum for countersunk holes and an insert set-down of 1
1/2 pitch maximum. The calculation for Dimension H is:
H 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.

Heli-Coil 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. 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. 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.

Heli-Coil STI tap part numbers inch

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.
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.
TABLE IX HELI-COIL STI TAP PART NUMBERS
Spiral Pointed Plug & Spiral Flute. Used for

efficient chip disposal in production tapping
operations. Available in sizes up to 1/2".
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.

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.

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.
Heli-Coil STI Thread Plug Gages for checking the
tapped hole are listed in the table at right.
Working gages provide a guaranteed minimum
wear allowance on the pitch diameter of the GO
members of two ten thousandths of an inch (.0002).
These gages are recommended for production in
sizes 1/2 inch and smaller.
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.

Heli-Coil gages metric

Heli-Coil STI Thread Plug Gages (metric) for
checking the tapped hole are listed below.
The complete gage consists of the GO thread plug
gage, the HI thread plug gage and the appropriately
marked gage handle.
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, therefore, 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 MA1567)
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.
The HI thread plug gage may enter provided that a
definite drag results on or before the second turn of
entry. (Reference ANSI B1.16)

Heli-Coil tooling
Tools for Tanged Inserts
consists of a prewinder, 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 semiautomatic 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.
Tool Service
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, special tooling (longer or shorter length
tools, etc.) and tool service. 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
Hand Installation Tools

HeliCoil 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.

Threaded Mandrel
Sizes 2-56 and 3-48
TYPE II

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.
Note: Recommended for use with the

2-56, M2.2x0.45 and M2.5x0.45 air tools.
It also may be used with the Heli-Coil
Electronic Inserting Tool.
Heli-Coil tang removal/extraction tools

Heli-Coil
Tang Break-Off Tools
The driving tangs of Heli-Coil 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.
