Heavy Duty Key-Locking Insert

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Product Overview

This is the reinforced version of our key-locking insert, made with a thicker bushing wall and larger locking keys to handle higher torque and tensile loads than the standard key-locking design. It targets structural joints and high-torque fastener locations where even a standard key-locking insert would be under-rated.

We produce this size and strength range for heavy equipment, off-highway and structural steel fabrication buyers who need a threaded connection point in a soft or thin base material that still has to carry near-parent-bolt torque and tensile values.

Specifications

Item Detail
Material Alloy steel with plating; 300 series stainless steel on request
Thread Size Range Metric M8 – M36; Unified 5/16"-18 – 1-1/2"-6
Wall Thickness Increased wall section versus standard key-locking insert, same nominal size
Design Solid bushing body with 4 or 6 external locking keys
Installation Method Tap, cut keyway, drive insert, stake keys with heavy-duty tool
Surface Finish Zinc-nickel plate, phosphate & oil, or passivated (stainless)
Torque/Tensile Rating Higher rated pull-out and torque-out values than standard, size-for-size
Packaging Poly bag, inner box, export carton; wooden crate/pallet for larger sizes

Application Fields

  • ✓Heavy construction and mining equipment
  • ✓Off-highway vehicle chassis and structural mounts
  • ✓Structural steel fabrication and heavy machinery frames
  • ✓Wind turbine tower and nacelle structural joints
  • ✓Marine and offshore structural fittings
  • ✓Press and stamping die structural inserts

Key Advantages

  • Thicker bushing wall and larger keys carry substantially higher torque and tensile load than a standard key-locking insert of the same nominal size.
  • Suited to structural joints where fastener failure would be a safety concern, not just a maintenance inconvenience.
  • Zinc-nickel plating option extends corrosion life in outdoor and marine structural applications.
  • Same basic installation sequence as the standard key-locking insert, so crews do not need a separate training path.
  • Reduces the need to oversize the base material or weld in a separate steel boss for a high-torque connection point.
