TOOLING COMPONENTS

  • E-LOK THREAD INSERTS

TYPICAL TORQUE-OUT AND TENSILE LOADS
All tests run with bolt thread of sufficient length to insure full thread engagement of insert. Torque-out was
determined using a torque wrench on a bolt in conjunction with a bushing. The bushing's maximum outside diameter
was in all cases less than the insert outside diameter, thus only pure torque was recorded, not clamp-up. 
Torque-out was recorded at the point the insert rotated relative to the parent material. Tensile (pull-out) was
determined using a 20,000 lb. Baldwin Southwark tensile machine. Load was applied until the first indication of
insert movement was noted; at this point the pull-out value was recorded.
NOTE: The minimum distance that an insert can be installed relative to the edge of a material is dependent upon
the characteristics and type of print material involved. Most materials will require one (1) times the insert O.D.
for edge distance, as measured from the center of the installation hole. However, this can vary with material.
