What Are The Advantages of KATO Tangless Inserts?
KATO revolutionized the fastener industry with the creation of tangless inserts, the most advanced helically coiled screw thread insert in the market today. Some of the benefits of KATO tangless inserts include:
- Decreased production costs. KATO tangless inserts are crafted with a notch at both ends, which eliminates the need to spend time orienting the insert during installation
- Reduction in the weight and size of machined parts. When using tangless inserts, the space between the insert and the bottom of the hole is significantly reduced.
- Lower installation costs. For male threaded fasteners to properly be positioned into tanged inserts, the tangs first need to be broken off. This increases the total installation time and additional tooling, resulting in higher installation cost.Â
What Makes Kato Wire Thread Inserts Special?
KATO's CoilThread inserts provide design and manufacturing flexibility. The innovative diamond-shaped wire design allows the inserts to engage the threads in the parent material while also accepting a male fastener. This negates the need for a thick wall structure to support the internal and external threads.
The design also allows for more evenly distributed loads as each coil adjusts independently for maximum surface contact with the parent material. The reliability and life of the fastening system are increased as the stress and fatigue concentrations are reduced to maximize the thread strength. The inserts can be installed in reduced-sized bosses or flanges, saving space and weight while still providing high strength.Â
