Product Overview
Tackle the toughest industrial environments with our Metric Round (RD) DIN 20400 laydown threading inserts. Unlike the standard DIN 405 (which handles finer pitches), the DIN 20400 series is a heavy-duty 30° round thread primarily used in mining machinery and large valves where threads are subject to high impact or debris contamination.
These carbide threading inserts feature a “Full Profile” design that cuts the rounded groove and tops the rounded crest (R0.22104P / R0.23851P) in a single operation. This smooth, rounded geometry is easy to clean and highly resistant to damage compared to sharp V-threads.
Key Features & Benefits
- Impact Resistance: The rounded profile eliminates stress concentrators, making it ideal for heavy dynamic loads.
- Heavy Capacity: While a standard 16er threading insert handles fine work, these large I.C. inserts (1/2″ and 5/8″ U-Type) are built for coarse pitches up to 8.0mm.
- Precision Form: Maintains the strict radius tolerances required by DIN 20400 to ensure smooth assembly even in dirty conditions.
-
Directional Options: We provide comprehensive solutions, including left hand thread insert models (e.g., 22IL 5.0 RD) often required for rotational equipment.
