| BaerFix Thread Inserts have a conical lead with cutting slots on the metric external thread. They are designed to cut their own threads as they are being driven into a drilled hole (self-tapping). This provides a secure and high-strength anchor. BaerFix for creation of wear-free, vibration resistant screw joints with high loading capacity in materials with low shearing strength. |
| Large effective shearing surface |
| The BaerFix Thread Insert has a large effective surface, so ensuring a higher degree of pull-out strength, i.e. an M 5 is often sufficient instead of a cut M 6 thread. |
| Flange Cover |
| In a workpiece made of a light alloy, the BaerFix Insert achieves almost maximum pull-out strength with only 30 % flange cover. |
| Pull-out Strength |
| A BaerFix Thread Insert is capable of withstanding high loads. When used in light alloys, for example, a degree of pull-out strength is achieved which far exceeds the yield strength of a screw 8.8. |
| Minimize Weight & Space |
| Weight saving is unmatched - an important design feature for many products, particularly airborne equipment. Space saving is maximised, permitting the use of standard boss configurations with oversize boss requirements - as is necessary to accommodate solid bushings. A boss radius equal to the norminal bolt size is adequate for most load conditions. |
| Corrosion Resistance |
| The superior corrosion resistant characteristics of BaerFix inserts assure their adaptability to most materials and usual enviromental conditions. |
| Minimize Total Cost |
| Overall production cost savings may be realised by using a less expensive material and still maintain the required thread strength with BaerCoil inserts. Costs savings apply in many directions - lower insert cost, lower installation costs and smaller bosses all produce savings. |
| Quality and Reliability |
| Stringent Quality Control is rigorously enforced in all phases of manufacturing. |
| Applications |
| The BaerFix is used throughout the whole of the metal and plastics processing industry. Mainly automotive industry, plants and equipment construction, electrical and laboratory supplies and military applications. |
