The locking torque is achieved by the action of a polygonal grip coil in the insert that exerts radial pressure on the male thread, with each grip coil consisting of a number of tangential locking chords that protrude inside the minor diameter of the normal free running coils. Threaded inserts with internal hexagon socket for threaded coupling in case when the standard mounting nuts or blind nuts cannot be used.On removal of the male thread, the locking coil relaxes to its original form, allowing for repeated assembly whilst retaining a measurable level of prevailing torque.
