    Keenserts® Inserts

    Installation, Removal & Broach


    One-piece Keensert® Inserts are supplied with keys pre-assembled into dove-tailed slots
    at the factory, to eliminate the problems of selecting, stocking and assembling separate
    parts. The pre-positioned keys automatically set the insert at the proper depth below the
    surface of the parent material. Unlike conventional inserts, there is no need to maintain
    critical depth tolerances — no chance of inadequate locking or deformation of internal
    threads due to miscalculations of depth. For critical edge distance applications, please
    consult our Customer Applications Engineers.

    Insert Installation
    1. Drill with a standard drill, as listed for each part number.
    2. Countersink with a standard countersink (82° to 100°).
    3. Tap with a standard Unified Thread Series tap.

    4. Screw in insert with fingers or installation tool.


    Insert is designed to stop at the correct
    depth below the surface of the casting.

    5. Using the installation tool, drive in the keys.


    The tool may be used with a hammer or
    held in an arbor press. The correct insert tool
    is tabulated with each type of insert in this
    catalog.

    Notes:
    • For Miniature Series inserts, screw the
    insert onto the threaded mandrel and turn
    the insert into the tapped hole.
    • When the tool handle is depressed, a special spring loaded trip mechanism within
    the tool will drive the KEES into the parent material.
    • The replacement of inserts is accomplished without reworking the parent material,
    and the same size insert is used in the original hole.

    Keenserts® Inserts
    Installation, Removal & Broach (Cont’d)

    Insert Removal
    It is unlikely that Keenserts® inserts will ever have to be removed since their threads are
    stronger than original threads. If removal is necessary, however, follow these simple
    steps.

    1. Use standard drill, as listed for each part number to remove insert material between
    KEES.
    2. Deflect KEES inward and break off.
    3. Remove insert with E-Z OUT type tool.
    4. An identical insert can now be installed in the original hole. No re-work of the hole will
    be necessary.
