Helicoil thread insert M10x1.5

Description

1. Product Overview
   The Helicoil thread insert M10x1.5 is a precision-engineered, free-running stainless steel wire thread insert designed to reinforce and repair damaged or weakened threaded holes. Its primary industrial use is restoring high-strength internal threads in metals, plastics, and composites—critical for maintaining structural integrity in assembly and maintenance operations. The key value proposition lies in its ability to deliver a permanent, gauge-containing 60° internal thread that withstands high tensile loads, corrosion, and temperature extremes while eliminating thread loosening. Strategically, this product is essential in global industrial markets where thread failure causes costly downtime, making it a reliable sourcing choice for enterprises prioritizing durability, efficiency, and operational continuity.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Material components: High-tensile stainless steel A2 (1.4301, X5CrNi1810)

• Grade/Purity: ASTM A2 stainless steel, RoHS-conformant

• Physical characteristics:

  • Thread size: M10 × 1.5 mm (Metric Coarse)

  • Form: Spiral coil with precision-formed rhombic thread profile

  • Color: Green-colored (for post-installation identification on Plus Free Running variant)

  • Surface finish: Mirror-like 8–16 micro inches

  • Nominal length: 10 mm (1×d) or 20 mm variants available

  • Diameter before installation: Larger than tapped hole for spring-like anchoring

• Packaging options: 10 pcs/blister, 25 pcs/collection kits, bulk industrial cartons

• Shelf life: Indefinite (stainless steel, non-degradable under normal storage)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Automotive, aerospace, heavy machinery, oil & gas, marine, and general manufacturing

• Specific operational use cases:

  • Repairing stripped oil drain plugs (e.g., Moto Guzzi T3 M10×1.5)

  • Reinforcing threads in low-shear-strength materials (aluminum, cast iron)

  • Restoring damaged threads in plastic/composite assemblies

  • Preventing thread loosening under vibration in high-tensile bolted connections

• Performance advantages over alternatives:

  • Distributes stress evenly across threads, reducing localized failure

  • Corrosion and temperature resistant in hostile environments

  • 20% faster installation (Plus variant tang无需 breaking off)

  • Permanent anchoring via spring-like expansion after installation

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Precision-formed rhombic profile ensures true-to-gauge internal thread including last thread

• Supply reliability: Globally distributed by established industrial suppliers (Böllhoff, Stein-Dinse, MSC Direct)

• Logistics capability: Compact coil form enables high-density shipping; compatible with standard industrial containers

• Price competitiveness: Cost-effective thread repair vs. component replacement or re-machining

• Sustainability: RoHS-conformant, corrosion-resistant (longer service life, reduced waste)

• Technical support: Installation tools and kits available with documentation (e.g., Helicoil Thread Repair Kits)

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): BULK 20MT

• Loading capacity: 20 MT per container (standard industrial dry container for metal fasteners)
