Test procedures

Based on practical tests, we offer test values to

constructors to enable them to realize even special
applications, normally with standard parts.

Pull-out Force

The pull-out force is defined as the maximum

axial load on the insert until the insert is removed
from the parent material.

Nm

Jack-out Torque
The pull-out force is defined as the maximum
axial-torque on the insert by tightening the faste-
ner until the insert is moved in an axial way.
