Helical Inserts

Helical Inserts are inserts made of coiled wire. These are also referred to as Screw Thread Inserts (STI).
 
Benefits of Helical Inserts

• Helical Locking Inserts provide an exclusive, resilient internal locking thread that grips the bolt and prevents it from loosening under vibration or impact.
• Helical Locking Inserts permit repeated assembly and disassembly and will not relax their grip on the screw even in tough metals such as titanium, cast iron, alloy steel, etc.
