Heli-Coil threaded inserts provide a durable solution for reinforcing tapped threads, enabling softer materials like aluminum to achieve steel-like performance. These precision-engineered components are available through Gould Fasteners, a trusted distributor based in Mississauga, Ontario, known for partnering with manufacturers committed to quality assurance.
“At Gould Fasteners, all of our suppliers must adhere to strict standards of excellence,” the company emphasizes. “We prioritize delivering the best for our customers.”
How Heli-Coil Inserts Work
Made from stainless steel wire with a diamond-shaped cross-section, Heli-Coil inserts create permanent, high-strength threads in pre-tapped holes. Their standardized 60-degree internal threads accommodate conventional screws and bolts, making them versatile for industrial applications.
Originally developed in the 1930s for the aerospace industry, Heli-Coil inserts became standard on aircraft like the Boeing 747 and NASA’s space shuttles. Today, they are widely used in automotive, telecommunications, aerospace, and defense sectors. All Heli-Coil products meet ISO certification and military-grade specifications.
Supporting Tools and Manufacturing
Beyond inserts, Gould Fasteners supplies complementary Heli-Coil tooling, including STI taps, installation tools (manual or power-operated), gauges, and tang break-off tools.
Heli-Coil products are manufactured by Stanley Engineered Fastening, a leader in threaded fastening technology since 1963. The company focuses on delivering high-value solutions for end-users.
