Quick-change insert SES 18 mm x 14.5 mm Size 2 for DIN 374/376 M22 (TECWERK)

The Quick-change insert SES 18 mm x 14.5 mm Size 2 is a compact adaptor designed to protect thread taps during manual or machine tapping, offering torque limitation and secure torque transfer for consistent threading in workshop and industrial environments

• Adjustable torque-limiting safety clutch
• Reduces risk of tap breakage
• Torque transmitted via 14.5 mm square shank
• Compatible with DIN 374/376 M22 taps

Protects taps and reduces downtime

The Quick-change insert SES 18 mm x 14.5 mm Size 2 features an adjustable safety clutch that limits torque to a preset value, significantly reducing the risk of tap breakage when a sudden load occurs. By preventing tool failure at the point of threading, the unit contributes directly to fewer stoppages and lower repair or replacement costs. For production environments where consistent thread quality and uptime matter, this torque-control function delivers a clear operational advantage.

Reliable torque transfer for accurate threading

Torque is transferred via the 14.5 mm square shank, which ensures a direct and backlash-minimised connection between spindle and tap. The result is repeatable torque transmission and improved thread quality, especially important when working with tougher materials or long engagement depths. Explaining the mechanism: the square shaft engages positively with the tool holder so that torque is passed mechanically rather than relying on friction, reducing slippage and the need for corrective rework.

Compact design for flexible integration

With compact external dimensions, the insert is easy to integrate into existing tap holders and hand tools. Key dimensions such as D: 50 mm, L1: 32 mm and L3: 30.5 mm keep the overall profile small while preserving functional length for secure engagement. This compactness allows installation in confined fixtures and reduces leverage that can stress the tap, supporting steadier tapping cycles in constrained assemblies.

Compatibility and practical application

Designed for tapping to DIN 374/376 M22, the insert suits common metric tap sizes used across maintenance, repair and production shops. The unit’s construction permits use with different shaft sizes when matched with the corresponding inserts, offering modularity for multi-shank toolrooms. Supplied as a single unit per packaging, the insert provides a straightforward retrofit for operations seeking improved tap protection without extensive changes to tooling setups.

FAQ

What is the primary function of this quick-change insert?
The quick-change insert SES 18 mm x 14.5 mm Size 2 protects taps by limiting torque via an adjustable safety clutch, reducing the likelihood of breakage during threading.

Which tap standards are supported by this insert?
This insert is suitable for taps to DIN 374/376 M22 and is intended for use where that metric standard is required.

How is torque transmitted through the unit?
Torque is transmitted mechanically via the 14.5 mm square shank, ensuring positive engagement and minimised slippage during tapping.

Can the torque limit be adjusted for different materials?
Yes. The adjustable safety clutch allows the torque threshold to be set to match the demands of different materials and tap sizes, providing flexibility in application.

Is this insert supplied individually or in sets?
The item is supplied as a single unit per packaging (packaging unit 1) and can be ordered individually.
