Principle

The QUICKSERT® expansion insert is spun onto the rotating threaded mandrel of the setting tool and introduced into the locating hole. The latter may be preformed or machined with commercially available drills as a blind or through hole. The axial loading of the threaded mandrel causes the QUICKSERT® to shear at the predetermined point between the anchoring sleeve and the threaded section.
The latter is drawn into and expands the anchoring sleeve, forcing the knurls into the hole wall. The threaded insert is now anchored and protected against distortion and pull-out.
