Loksert Solid Keylocking Insert Index

Product Details:

A Reduced Diameter Solid Keylocking Insert is a threaded insert designed to provide strong and durable threads in weakened or damaged materials while requiring a smaller hole size than standard keylocking inserts. It is commonly used for thread repair, reinforcement, and high-strength fastening in softer metals like aluminum, magnesium, and low-strength steel.

• Smaller Outside Diameter – Requires less material removal during installation, making it ideal for thin-walled or space-constrained applications.
• High Strength & Wear Resistance – Typically made from stainless steel, carbon steel, or alloy steel, with coatings like cadmium, zinc-nickel, or dry film lubricant for corrosion resistance.
• Keylocking Mechanism – Features pre-installed locking keys that are driven into the parent material, preventing insert rotation under load.
• Permanent & Secure Fixing – Provides a stronger and more reliable thread than traditional coil inserts (e.g., Helicoil).

1. Aerospace & Defense – Used in aircraft structures and engine components to reinforce threads in lightweight materials.
2. Automotive & Motorsport – Strengthens threaded holes in aluminum engine blocks, transmissions, and chassis components.
3. Heavy Machinery & Industrial Equipment – Prevents thread wear and failure in high-stress assemblies.
4. Electronics & Precision Equipment – Provides durable, high-tolerance threads in soft materials.

1. Drill – Enlarge the hole to the specified diameter.
2. Tap – Use the recommended tap size to create internal threads.
3. Install Insert – Screw the keylocking insert into the tapped hole.
4. Drive in Locking Keys – Use a punch or tool to set the locking keys into the parent material, securing the insert.
