 How Recoil Inserts Work
Pitch and Angle Error Compensation
Problems Solution

Angle error Pitch error Recoil compensation effect

Typical thread and angle errors may cause: Recoil inserts reduce thread pitch and angle errors
■ Limited contact point to provide:
■ Poor flank contact between bolt to parent thread ■ Greater fastener strength
■ Unequal distribution of bolt load over engaged threads ■ Greater contact area
■ Failure of threaded components when loaded ■ Equally distributed load over all tapped threads
■ Reduced stress concentration thereby extending fatigue life

Insert installation and retention

Uninstalled, Recoil inserts are greater in diameter than the
tapped hole in the parent material into which they are to be
installed. During the assembly operation the diameter of the
leading coil is reduced thereby permitting entry of the insert
into the tapped hole. When the insert is installed at the
correct depth, the coils expand and permanently retains the
insert in place.
Unlike many ‘solid’ insert types, it is not necessary to use
locking, swaging or keying operations to locate and retain
Recoil inserts. Stress concentration problems which typically
occur in the parent material when using solid inserts are
therefore eliminated.
A Recoil insert will dimensionally adjust both radially and
axially, to any expansion or contraction within the parent material.

 Locking Inserts
How Locking Inserts Work
The Recoil screw-locking insert is designed to provide
a screw-locking feature which will retain screws or bolts
under the most severe vibration or varying temperature
conditions.
The insert locking configuration 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. Locking inserts
retain locking torque over numerous assembly cycles.
Refer to relevant specifications for insert life.
Each Recoil screw-locking insert type has a specifically
designed locking configuration.This ensures that the insert
meets its design specification requirements. Therefore
the shape, depth, and number of locking chords will
inevitably vary for differing thread types and sizes. Locking Insert Design
Should a specific locking torque or function be
required, AFS engineers can develop parts to suit customers’
needs. As the bolt is wound through the locking chords
of the insert it deflects the wire as shown by the internal
arrows (A). This deflection causes the insert to push
against the bolt resulting in a repeatable locking function
from the insert.

(A)
Note: It is recommended that a cadmium plated or dry-film
lubricated screw/bolt is used for screw-locking inserts
applications. (See page 10 - Lubricants and Coatings)

Note: Installation of Recoil screw-locking inserts requires

use of the Recoil Prewinder tooling. (Refer to page 33 - Tooling)

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 Insert Part Number Example

Standard size drills are suggested even though in these sizes they vary slightly from minor diameter limits. Drill sizes
are recommended only and test should be carried out to select the one suitable for the material involved.

Countersinking: It is recommended that a 120° counter- Tapped Hole Insert

sink is provided before tapping to prevent a feather edge at
0
120
(partially installed)
the start of the lead thread. When design prevents the use B
of a countersink, any feather edges or deformed material at
the thread lead should be removed before tapping. This will
facilitate insert installation and reduce the effects of remov-
ing the countersinking operation.

 Hand Installation Tools

Recoil Tools Collar Adjusted

AFS supplies a range of associated Recoil tooling to Too Low
facilitate Recoil insert installation. The advantage of the
Recoil tooling system is its simplicity, versatility, and ease
of use. The hand installation tooling range includes the
manual installation tool, the semi production “Prewinder”
type, as well as manual and spring operated tang break
off tools.
Manual Tool Collar Adjusted
The standard Recoil insert installation tool is the most Correctly
practical and simple to use for general applications. This
tool may be used to install 1D through to 3D length
inserts, but care must be taken to ensure that the
adjustable collar is correctly set to suit the particular type
and length of the Recoil insert. If the collar is incorrectly
set, the insert will not drive properly and the tool may
slip off the tang as the insert enters the hole.
For general use, the collar should be adjusted such Collar Adjusted
that the insert tang is positioned mid-way along the slot Too High
with the insert coils compressed. This will allow the insert
free movement to suit the parent material thread pitch
during installation.
If the installation tool is used to break off the tang,
then it must be lifted clear of the insert following installa-
tion and replaced into the insert at 90 degrees to its drive
position. This ensures that the tool is correctly placed on
the insert tang. Tap the tool sharply downward to pro- Tang Removal
duce a clean tang break.

 Thread Identification
Screw Pitch Gauge Thread Features
It is critical that inserts match the tapped hole exactly
as some inch and metric are very close but only one is Major Diameter
exactly right. A screw pitch gauge is the perfect tool to
identify exact TPI or pitch.The bolt diameter should be
Pitch Diameter
measured and matched to the closest size over, relating to Minimum Diameter
the TPI or pitch of the thread.
In general, major diameter of bolt or male thread will
always be slightly less than the exact diameter listed in the
thread identification and drill chart.

Crest

Root

Thread
Drill Sizes Pitch Angle
Drill sizes are recommended only.The nearest standard
size drill above or below is generally quite suitable for
repairs and in many instances, drilling is not necessary for
stripped holes. For precision tolerances, the thread identifi-
cation and drill chart is an accurate guide, but final size
depends on material and machining conditions.
In practice BSW interchanges with UNC except at 3/16"
and 1/2", SAE interchanges with UNF, except 1" UNF - 12 TPI,
SAE - 14 TPI.

*Minimum drill depth for a bottoming tap equals .313 plus the insert nominal length; for intermediate taps it equals .688 plus the insert nominal length. These drilling
depths allow approximately 1/2 pitch tap end clearance. Minimum full thread tapping depth equals insert nominal length. The tapped hole will accommodate an insert
installed 1/4 to 1/2 pitch below the surface of the tapped hole. When holes are to be countersunk, the drilling and tapping depths and insert installation depth should
be increased 1/2 pitch. The recommended countersink is 120˚ included angle to the tap major diameter.
**The minimum and maximum drilled hole diameters listed are larger than standard to allow clearance for the major diamater of the mating threaded member. A drill
size equal to the nominal thread diameter is suggested because it will generally produce an oversize hole with-in the tabulated drilled hole limits.
