    Compact Hydraulic Cylinders

    With a small body size, these cylinders fit into tight spaces but offer similar push forces to standard hydraulic cylinders. They’re double-acting cylinders, so they have two hydraulic ports—one to extend the piston rod and another to retract it. No matter the direction they’re moving, they can operate at nearly full force. This allows them to both push and pull multi-ton loads. All have a magnetic piston and can be used with sensors (sold separately) that electronically indicate piston position. Mount sensors to the cylinder with mounting brackets (sold separately).

    Key-Locking Threaded Inserts for Soft Metal

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Threaded Inserts. Key-Locking Threaded Inserts for Soft Metal.
    Add strong threads in soft metal, such as aluminum. The keys on these inserts drive into holes to hold more securely than thread-locking or helical inserts. They prevent slipping and rotating, so they’re stable enough for use in vehicle or aerospace parts that experience heavy vibration. These inserts are comparable to Keensert inserts.
    To install, drill and tap a hole in your material. Then, thread the insert onto the installation tool and screw it into the hole. Place the tool over the keys and hit it with a hammer to drive them in.
    Standard Wall—Stronger than thin-wall inserts, these are your go-to choice for threading most holes.
    Extra-Thick Wall—Stronger than standard- and thin-wall inserts, use them to reduce the size of tapped holes or replace threads that have been drilled out.
    Black Phosphate-Coated Steel—These inserts resist occasional moisture.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.

    These inserts are manufactured and tested to meet or compare to strict standards adopted by the U.S. military. The keys drive into aluminum and other soft metal for a secure hold that won't slip or rotate, even in vibrating vehicle or aerospace parts. These inserts are comparable to Keensert inserts.
    To install, drill and tap a hole in your material. Then, thread the insert onto the installation tool and screw it into the hole. Place the tool over the keys and hit it with a hammer to drive them in.

    Pronged

    Restore, reinforce, or create threads in metal. The tough coils on these inserts expand once installed to anchor in a tapped hole. Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, they're often used in engine heads and machinery housings where strong connections are critical. Unlike threadlocking inserts, you can remove and reuse them without them losing their strength.
    Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, and an installation tool.
    Pronged—The prong attaches to an installation tool for precise control as you drive inserts in. Remove the prong with a punch or break-off tool before inserting a screw.
