Key Benefits
Increased Installation Speed
z No tang to break off post insert installation, eliminating a stage in the installation process; ideal for automatic installation in high
volume applications.
z No tang to retrieve post insert installation, eliminates vacuuming or extraction and counting of the displaced tangs.
z Bi-directional design eliminates insert orientation. No need for time consuming insert checking prior to each installation.
z Tangless inserts are easily adjusted or removed after initial installation, just re-insert the installation tool and wind or insert the
removal tool and unwind.
z Tangless inserts removal tools never touch the application ensuring no damage occurs unlike outmoded insert removal techniques.
Combined with all the benefits of standard Recoil wire thread inserts
Wire thread inserts are used to strengthen threads, giving applications a longer life. Each insert shares the load over the entire bolt and
hole, improving holding or pull out resistance. With a Recoil insert installed, a more even distribution of load and stress can be achieved.
Free-running Inserts
Locking Inserts
Designed to retain screws or bolts under the most severe vibration or varying
temperature conditions. The insert comprises a series of uniquely designed
locking chords which, upon the engagement of a screw or bolt, deflect radially
to permit the installation of the bolt. Upon bolt entry, these straight segments
are flexed outwardly, creating pressure on the bolt. This pressure is applied
between the flanks of the bolt thread so that contact area is maximized.
Strip Feed
Tangless Inserts are designed to replace tanged helical coil inserts as specified in MA3279 through MA3281 (standard thread) and MA3329 through MA3331 (locking thread). Inch
MS122076 through to MS124690 (free running) and NASM21209 (locking). They install in standard STI tapped holes per MA1567 and MIL-I-8846. Installed inserts provide a finished
thread meeting the requirements of FED-STD-H28, M Profile, Tolerance Classes 4H or 5H, as well as ISO metric thread specifications, and accept standard or MJ profile bolts or screws.

Recoil Thread Insert Part Numbering System
Recoil insert product part numbering system uses a logically structured 5 digit basic part number. Suffixes
are typically added to differentiate between special or non-standard features. This guide defines the structure
of Recoil part numbers and may be used for reference to identify a Recoil insert from its part number.

Recoil Tangless Tooling Options
There are four ways to install Tangless inserts, which one suits you depends greatly on the type of application you are installing in and
how many inserts you are installing per day.
To install and remove by hand all you need is one of the tools from the
mandrel/tool table below, depending on your thread form and diameter:
Each Part number includes mandrel and handle.

Recoil Tangless Tooling Options
Electric Tooling
Air Tooling
Recoil pneumatic powered installation tooling uses standard air supply to install fasteners at a much higher
rate than a manual installation tool or prewinder tool. This tool is ideal for installation of medium to large
quantities of inserts, especially when used in combination with Stripfeed.
