В чем разница между кинсертом и хеликойлом?

Keensert и Helicoil - это резьбовые вставки, используемые для ремонта или укрепления резьбы, Но у них есть явные отличия:

Basic Information
Кинсерт: A solid bushing style insert threaded on both the inside and outside with keys on top.
Helicoil: A precision-formed continuous wire coil resembling a spring.

Проектировать
Кинсерт: Features keys or wedges on top that are hammered into grooves through the threads to lock the insert in place.
Helicoil: Has a diamond-shaped helically formed wire coil that screws into a threaded hole to form a mating internal thread.

Установка
Кинсерт: Easier to install than Helicoil, as it doesn’t require a special installation tool and there’s no tang to remove.
Helicoil: Requires a special tool for installation, and the tang (if present) needs to be removed.

Strength and Durability
Кинсерт: Stronger than Helicoil, especially in high-temperature and high-torque environments.
Helicoil: Provides permanent, wear-resistant threads but is less strong than Keensert.

Cost
Кинсерт: More expensive than Helicoil.
Helicoil: Considerably less expensive than Keensert.

Typical Applications
Кинсерт: Used in heavy-wear, high-vibration, high-heat situations where space saving isn’t a concern and hole depth is limited. Common in aerospace assemblies like transmission housings and suspension units.
Helicoil: Ideal for reducing costs and minimizing space. Suitable for creating permanent strong threads in softer materials like aluminum, титан, and magnesium alloys in lower heat environments.

Keenserts are better for high-strength applications and environments with high temperatures and torque, while Helicoils are more cost-effective and suitable for softer materials and lower heat environments.
