Key Features

Solid Bushing Insert System

TIME-SERT® inserts are solid steel bushings rather than wire coils, providing full load-bearing capability and long-term durability.

Positive Flange Placement

Integrated top flange ensures accurate positioning and prevents the insert from winding down into the repaired hole.

Self-Locking Technology

During installation, the bottom internal threads are cold-rolled to expand the insert into the base material, permanently locking it in place.

Full Load Capability

Repairs are equivalent to original threads in most applications, offering excellent resistance to stress and vibration.

Complete Repair Kit

Supplied with all required tools for accurate drilling, counterboring, tapping and insert installation.

Important Notes

Laboratory testing has shown TIME-SERT® repairs to be equivalent to original threads in most applications. Always follow correct installation procedures and use suitable cutting lubricant during drilling and tapping.
