Application

You use the type S free running insert to create a repaired internal thread for M 42 X 4.5. It is relevant in maintenance, mechanical engineering, and service work where the original screw size is retained.

M identifies ISO metric thread notation, where nominal diameter and pitch define the matching thread. The insert requires the matching V-COIL preparation sequence and should be stored separately from other sizes. The product title states 5 pieces.

Application

  • for repairing internal threads with the original designation M 42 X 4.5
  • for installation into a prepared STI receiving thread
  • for maintenance, service, tool room, and mechanical engineering repair processes
  • for free running screw movement after correct installation

Note Use the insert only with the matching V-COIL repair workflow and do not install it into an unprepared standard thread.

Benefits

  • Restores the usable internal screw thread after the V-COIL receiving thread has been prepared.
  • Thread designation M 42 X 4.5 keeps insert selection tied to the original screw size.
  • Free running type S supports standard screw movement after repair without a locking insert function.
  • Pack quantity in the product title supports repeated repair work in the same thread size.
Drawbacks
  • The insert cannot be used alone, so use the matching drilling, STI tapping, insertion, and inspection steps from the V-COIL repair system.

Step by step

  1. Identify the damaged original internal thread as M 42 X 4.5.
  2. Prepare the receiving thread with the matching V-COIL drilling and STI tapping sequence.
