Как да инсталирате вложка за заключване на ключове ?

Installing a key locking insert, also known as a Keensert or keysert, requires precision and care to ensure a secure and reliable threaded connection. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to install a key locking insert:

Materials and Tools Needed:

1. Вложка за заключване на ключове (Keensert)
2. Installation tool (mandrel or threaded installation tool)
3. Бормашина
4. Кран (matching the size of the insert)
5. Cutting fluid (for lubrication)
6. Hammer or mallet
7. Thread-locking adhesive (optional)
8. Thread gauge or caliper
9. Safety goggles and gloves

Installation Steps:

1. Drilling the Hole:
   • Begin by drilling a hole in the workpiece where you want to insert the Keensert. Make sure the hole size matches the specifications provided for the particular Keensert size you are using.
   • Use a cutting fluid to lubricate the drill bit while drilling. This helps reduce friction and heat buildup.
2. Tapping the Hole:
   • After drilling the hole, tap it using a tap of the appropriate size for the Keensert. The tap should match the thread size of the insert.
   • Again, use cutting fluid to lubricate the tap and reduce friction. This also helps produce clean threads.
3. Prepping the Keensert:
   • Inspect the Keensert to ensure it’s free from any defects or damage.
   • Apply a thread-locking adhesive to the external threads of the Keensert if desired. This can enhance the resistance to vibration and prevent the insert from backing out over time.
4. Inserting the Keensert:
   • Insert the Keensert into the prepared hole. The keys or locking grooves on the insert should align with the tapped threads.
   • Hold the Keensert in place, ensuring it sits flush with the surface of the workpiece.
5. Installing with a Tool:
   • If you’re using an installation tool (mandrel or threaded tool), screw it into the Keensert. The tool will expand the Keensert’s locking keys, locking it securely into the threaded hole.
6. Hammering Method (Alternative):
   • If you don’t have an installation tool, you can use a hammer or mallet. Place the Keensert into the hole, and then gently tap it using a hammer while ensuring it remains flush with the surface.
   • Be careful not to deform the Keensert during this process. It’s important to maintain the insert’s structural integrity.
7. Finishing:
   • Once the Keensert is properly installed, visually inspect it to ensure it’s seated correctly and flush with the surface.
   • Test the thread engagement using a bolt of the appropriate size. The threads should engage smoothly and securely.

Note:

• Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations specific to the Keensert you are installing.
• Practice safety precautions by wearing goggles and gloves to protect yourself from any flying debris or metal shavings.
• Take your time and be patient during the installation process to ensure accuracy and quality.

Remember that proper installation is crucial for the performance and reliability of the threaded connection. If you’re unsure about any step of the process, consult the manufacturer’s instructions or seek advice from professionals experienced with key locking inserts.
