BAERfix Self Tapping Inserts
BaerFix Self Tapping Inserts
BaerFix are self tapping inserts from BAER, Germany, that are designed to cut their own threads as they are being driven into a drilled hole (self tapping). This provides a secure and high strength anchor in the parent material.
BaerFix inserts do not require special tools for tapping.
BaerFix 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.
