TECWERK SES Quick-change insert, size 3 — adjustable safety clutch, 18 mm diameter

The TECWERK SES quick-change insert is a size 3 tool-holder insert designed for tapping to DIN 374/376 M24, offering torque-limiting protection and rapid exchange for production environments.

• Adjustable safety clutch for torque limitation
• Prevents tap breakage during tapping
• Shaft square 14.5 mm for torque transfer

Engineered protection that reduces tool failure and downtime

The SES quick-change insert combines an adjustable safety clutch with a robust torque-transfer concept to protect cutting tools during tapping operations. By limiting peak torque, the device significantly reduces the risk of tap breakage, which in turn lowers rework and machine downtime. The clutch setting can be calibrated to the process requirements, enabling consistent production runs while preserving expensive tools and thread quality.

Faster changeovers and clear torque transmission

Quick-change capability shortens setup times and supports lean workflows by enabling rapid replacement of inserts without complex reconfiguration. Torque is transmitted through the shaft square (14.5 mm), ensuring direct mechanical drive and minimising play between spindle and tool. This design delivers dependable power transfer for reproducible thread forming and tapping cycles, improving overall process efficiency and cycle-time predictability.

Designed for compatibility and straightforward workshop planning

The insert is specified for compliance with DIN 374/376 M24 and identified as size 3, simplifying tool selection for standard tapping tasks. Key dimensions — including diameter 18 mm, L3 41 mm, L4 55.5 mm and L1 45.2 mm — are provided for fixture and machine-tool planning, so integration into existing setups is straightforward. Where different shank sizes are used, matching inserts are required, allowing tailored adaptation to varied tap shanks without compromising torque control.

Operational reliability and maintenance benefits

Built to support repetitive tapping operations, the unit promotes longer tool life and predictable maintenance cycles. The adjustable torque limiter not only prevents immediate failure but also reduces cumulative stress on machines and taps, resulting in fewer unexpected interruptions. Simple adjustment and clear mechanical design mean maintenance is quick and inspection intervals can be planned with confidence.

FAQ

How does the adjustable safety clutch protect tapping tools?
The adjustable safety clutch in the TECWERK SES quick-change insert limits peak torque by disengaging or slipping at the set threshold, preventing sudden overloads that cause tap fracture and extending tool life.

Is this insert compatible with standard M24 taps?
Yes, the insert is specified for use with taps conforming to DIN 374/376 M24 and is designed to provide secure torque transmission for that standard.

Which shank sizes are supported by this system?
Torque transmission is via the shaft square; this particular insert uses a 14.5 mm square. Different shank sizes require corresponding inserts to ensure proper fit and torque transfer.

Can the clutch setting be adjusted on the shop floor?
The safety clutch is designed for workshop adjustment so the torque threshold can be adapted to the material and tap geometry, enabling flexible process control.

What dimensional data should be considered when planning integration?
Key dimensions include diameter 18 mm, L3 41 mm, L4 55.5 mm, L5 45 mm, L1 45.2 mm and D1 48 mm; these values support fixture design and machine compatibility checks.
