Thread repair with Ensat® and Gripp®

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses technologies for repairing torn and damaged threads using Ensat® and Gripp® systems. These systems are designed to enhance the load capacity and pull-out strength of threads, particularly in light alloy cylinder heads.
Ensat® System: Ensat® is suitable for fast repairs, allowing the same screw size to be reused. It provides higher load capacity for threads. The basic Ensat® kit includes 315 self-tapping threaded inserts made of case-hardened, zinc-plated, yellow chromated steel, with internal threads ranging from M2.5 to M16. An installation kit is also available with 270 inserts for threads from M4 to M8, along with manual installation tools.
Gripp® System: Gripp® is specifically designed for repairing spark plug retaining threads in cylinder heads. It is installed deeper than Ensat®, allowing the spark plug's sealing ring to function effectively. The Gripp® kit includes tools for manual installation in two thread sizes: M14 (long and short) and M18. The kit is tailored for spark plug thread repair and includes self-tapping threaded inserts with cutting bores.
Specifications: The Ensat-Gripp threaded insert is a self-tapping fastener designed to repair spark plug threads. It is made of hardened steel, zinc-plated, and yellow chromated. The document provides detailed dimensions and article numbers for various thread sizes and lengths, such as M14 x 1.25 mm and M18 x 1.25 mm.
Installation Tools: Two types of installation tools are mentioned: Tool 619 for manual installation and Tool 629 for machine installation. Each tool is compatible with specific Gripp® inserts and has specified dimensions for effective use.
Applications: These systems are ideal for repairing damaged threads in automotive and industrial applications, ensuring reliable and durable thread performance.
