Hardware & Tools

keensert threadeed insert have 2 and 4 pre-assembled kees depending on the diameter.after installation of the kees into the parent material the assembly is form-closed.No check with a thread gauge according to the DIN standard possible in the area of the kees.
Pull-out-strength for Keensert calculation as follows:
pull-out-strength(N)=shear engagement (mm2)x ultimate shear strength of parent material (N/mm2)
data for shear engagement see installation data.
