KEENSERTS
Design information
If KEENSERTS inserts are installed on the end face in round designs, the installation diameter should be 1.5 x external thread diameter „ØD“ or larger.


(see installation data tables).

Installation data as well as removal data are given in the following tables.
Calculation of the tensile force
The tensile force of the KEENSERTS inserts depends on the shear strength of the installation material and is calculated as described below:

The values of the shear engagement areas are given in the dimension tables on the following pages and apply to fully screwed KEENSERTS inserts.

Self-locking and screw pre-tensioning
Because the thread locking feature (type L) compensates a part of the tightening torque through friction, this part must be added to the nominal tightening torque.
For this purpose, the locking torque is measured on two KEENSERTS inserts using a torque wrench and a lightly oiled screw. This value must be added to the tightening torque.
The thread locking torques are determined with lightly oiled screws of grade 8.8, with a tolerance of -6g. The thread locking torques of the KEENSERTS inserts with fine thread are set with hardened lightly oiled bolts of grade -4h.
