BAERCOIL Thread Inserts and Tools
BAERCOIL THREAD INSERTS
These are wire thread inserts from BAER, Germany, made from austenitic chromium nickel steel (stainless steel AISI 304) with a material tensile strength of at least 1400 N/mm². The wire is swaged in cold form during production to a rhombic cross section ensuring performance and maximum space utilisation.
With BaerCoil thread inserts you achieve a better thread connection in regard to wear resistance, thread abrasion, surface finish, corrosion- and heat resistance than with any other single screw connection. These inserts can give material savings of up to 30%, resulting in reduced space, weight and costs. BaerCoil is typically used for thread repair and thread reinforcement.
Thread Reinforcement
- Reinforces and increases the pull-out strength especially in materials with low shear strength
- Provides a better balance strength distribution
- Greater effective shear surface
- Protection against wear of thread
- Higher corrosion resistance
- Helps in reduction of weight and space thus minimizing total cost
Thread Repair
- Facilitates the repair of damaged or worn threads
- Salvages rejected parts while maintaining the original thread size
- Increases pull-out strength of the thread
- Corrosion resistance
Baercoil inserts are well suited for use in:
- Aluminium and Aluminium Alloys
- Brass, Bronze and cast-iron
- Magnesium Alloys
- Steels and plastics
Application areas
- Automobile industries : Engine, Transmission, Body Parts, Radiator, Oil Drain, Spark Plug etc.
- Aerospace : Engines, assembly parts reinforcement.
- Medical Devices, Electronic and Laboratory Technology, Capacitors, Casings.
- Pumps, machine construction, components
Military equipment, airplanes, tanks, scopes etc.
Materials Available
Stainless Steel – AISI-304 – Low cost inserts useful for most applications. For medium temperature applications. Provides good wear and corrosion resistance.
Stainless Steel – AISI-316 – Very useful for Aerospace, Marine, Chemical, Pharmaceutical and food procession industries. High corrosion resistance. Relatively expensive with lower availability.
Bronze – Specialty material provides high wear and temperature resistance. Being non-magnetic can be used in applications with magnetic sensitivity. Very useful for Aerospace and Medical applications. Plan for higher price, limited range and reduced availability.
