Wire thread inserts enable the manufacture of high-strength threads for optimal power transmission from the bolt to the internal thread. They are ideally suited as thread reinforcements in materials with a low shear strength, for example aluminium or magnesium, and are thus essential in mechanical engineering. In addition, thread inserts are perfect for repair and maintenance work. The thread inserts without a tappet have a bi-directional installation groove. This makes them very safe, since no tappet inside the component poses a danger.

FILTEC® + wire thread inserts for standard applications
The Filtec® + wire thread inserts are the ideal solution for standard applications. The typical area of use ranges from non-permanent connections to the restoration of damaged threads.
This wire thread insert significantly simplifies the installation for the user. Thanks to its optimised design, Filtec® + can very easily be screwed in and installed.

LOCKFIL® + wire thread inserts for alternating loads or vibrations
The LOCKFIL®+ wire thread inserts additionally feature one or more polygonal windings that apply pressure on the sides of the mounted bolt.
This thread insert is thus especially well suited for applications that are subject to alternating loads or vibrations. No need for additional bolt clips.

KATO® wire thread inserts for high-strength applications
In the area of high-strength wire thread inserts, KATO® thread inserts are well suited. They are used for heavy-duty threads, connections that frequently need to be disconnected and damaged threads that are to be restored.

The KATO® wire thread inserts without tappet are impressive due to their efficient installation without the possibility of tappet failure.
