KEENSERT Keysert Inserts: Your Ultimate Thread Repair & Reinforcement Solution


At Bondao, we specialize in manufacturing high-performance threaded inserts, and our flagship product, the KEENSERT Keysert Insert, is engineered to solve critical fastening challenges. More than just a standard threaded insert, the KEENSERT offers unparalleled strength and reliability where it matters most.


What is a KEENSERT Keysert Insert?


The KEENSERT is a keysert insert, a specialized type of threaded insert designed for maximum holding power and resistance to vibration and pull-out forces. Unlike simpler coil inserts, the KEENSERT features a unique mechanical locking mechanism for permanent installation.


*   Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-grade materials including carbon steel and stainless steel.

*   Global Compatibility: Available in both metric (M) and imperial (UN) thread sizes to meet diverse international requirements.

*   Heavy-Duty Option: For applications demanding the absolute highest strength, bondao offers KEENSERT Heavy Duty (HD) inserts. These feature a thicker wall cross-section, significantly enhancing load-bearing capacity and resilience in the toughest environments. (Essentially, it's the same proven design, just built thicker for extreme duty).


Why Choose KEENSERT Inserts? Key Applications


KEENSERT inserts are the go-to solution when standard threads fail or are inadequate:


1.  Repairing Stripped or Damaged Threads: Breathe new life into costly components like engine blocks, gearboxes, or machinery housings where original threads are worn or stripped.

2.  Reinforcing Soft Materials: Provide strong, durable, and wear-resistant threads in materials prone to stripping, such as aluminum, magnesium, cast iron, plastics, composites, and wood.

3.  Extending Service Life: Dramatically increase the lifespan of components subjected to repeated assembly/disassembly or high stress.

4.  Upgrading Thread Strength: Offer a stronger thread than the base material itself, especially crucial in critical assemblies.

5.  High-Vibration Environments: The positive mechanical lock provides exceptional resistance to loosening under severe vibration, common in automotive, aerospace, off-road equipment, and heavy machinery.

6.  High-Torque Applications: Withstand high installation and operational torque without failing.

KEENSERT Keysert Inserts: Your Ultimate Thread Repair & Reinforcement Solution

Simple & Secure Installation: The KEENSERT Advantage


The KEENSERT's installation is straightforward and results in a permanent, vibration-proof thread:


1.  Drill: Drill a hole in the host material to the specified size for the KEENSERT being used.

2.  Tap: Tap the hole with the special bondao KEENSERT tap (provided with inserts or separately).

3.  Install: Screw the KEENSERT insert into the tapped hole using a standard hex drive (wrench or driver) until it is flush or slightly below the surface. The insert's external locking keys align with the tapped hole.

4.  Drive Keys (The Critical Lock): Using a hammer and the special bondao KEENSERT installation tool (mandrel), drive the two internal locking keys radially outward at the bottom of the insert. These keys embed firmly into the walls of the host material, creating a powerful mechanical interlock.

5.  Ready to Use: The assembly is immediately ready for its fastener. The new internal thread is strong, precise, and permanently locked in place.
