What are keenserts?

Keenserts are high strength threaded inserts made from stainless steel 1.4305. 

Keenserts are passivated according to EN 2516. The standard product range have metric thread dimensions. Imperial dimensions and specials can be quite expensive for small quantities.-

Keenserts are used in alloys, light materials, steel and cast iron to increase the strength of the thread in these materials. They can be used for thread repair, if the defected thread has to be replaced with the same nominal diameter.

Keenserts have less attrition. A multiple tightening and loosening of the bolt is possible.

Keensert Locking inserts include a dry film lubrication on the surface to protect the screw from galling. In the middle of the locking keensert there is one thread that is a bit smaller that enables the locking function.

Keenserts have a positive lock against rotation and vibration due to the installed kees.

Keenserts have 2 or 4 pre-assembled kees according to the dimensions. After installation of the kees into the parent material the assembly is form-closed. No check with a thread gauge according to DIN standard is possible in the area of the kees.

As a result: Keensert Inserts give high strength joints in low strength materials. Typical applications are transmission housings, electronic equipment and suspension units.

The stainless steel solid bushing configuration of the Keensert Insert guarantees the quality of the internal thread before installation. No special tools are required for installation and standard taps and drills are used for hole preparation, download the catalogue to know what sizes to drill. The pre-assembled self-broaching kees set the insert to depth and ensure positive resistance against rotation.
