About Powercoil
Powercoil Screw Thread Inserts are used to create high performance threads
and to repair damaged threads. The unique design of Powercoil inserts creates
superior, stronger thread joints whose compound performance cannot be
reproduced by any other fastening system.
Manufactured from 18/8 austenitic stainless steel, Powercoil Wire Thread
Inserts provide high strength internal threads that resist the effects of
temperature and corrosion. The smooth surface finish of Powercoil inserts
also eliminates friction-induced thread erosion.
Available in two basic forms, free running or screw locking, Powercoil Screw
Thread Inserts are much lighter and less expensive than any other
equivalent type of screw thread insert. The compact size of Powercoil
inserts also means that they can be incorporated into existing designs
where no previous provision has been made.
The Powercoil Wire Thread Insert System includes a complete range of:
Free Running, Screw Locking, Strip Feed Inserts
Over 140 Thread Repair Kits
STI Hand & Machine Taps
Manual & Automatic Installation Tools, Tang Break Tools
Thread Gauges & Removal Tools

Create internal threads with greatly improved distribution of residual stress loading
Compensate for pitch and flank angle errors
Can generally be introduced into existing designs where no previous provision has been made
Make it possible to use thinner sections or lighter parent materials without sacrificing thread strength
