  A Reusable Setting Tool That Replaces Form Drilling

  
  

  Instead of drilling and later plugging the form face, the operator sets a locator on the steel pallet and lets the magnet hold it in place. The ferrule insert turns onto the locator nose, so the thread opening finishes flush with the form surface. After stripping, one turn with a 1/2" drive ratchet frees the locator for the next cast.

  
  

  Why Insert Position Decides Connection Quality

  
  

  Ferrule insert load tables are published for a defined installation: the insert set back 1/2" from the concrete face, the thread square to that face, and the insert held in position while the concrete is placed. A magnetic locator holds those conditions. The insert cannot drift or tilt while the vibrator works around it, and the thread opening stays clear of slurry and laitance because the form closes it off. A shifted insert shows up at the fixing stage. If the thread does not come through square, the bolt cannot reach full engagement, and published capacities assume the bolt is threaded in to the depth given for the size. Layout rules apply to the finished element as well: a minimum edge distance of 1.5 times the insert length and a minimum insert spacing of three times the insert length. Published shear values assume a plate or large washer bearing on the concrete surface.

  Size Range and Form Compatibility

  
  

  Sizes run from 1/4" to 1-1/4" bolts, matching the ferrule inserts listed in the same catalog, with nine part codes from HM-MFIL-00104 to HM-MFIL-10104. Magnetic mounting needs a ferrous form face, so the locator suits steel pallets and steel moulds; timber and aluminium formwork call for a different setting method. The code suffix identifies the insert size, for example HM-MFIL-00102 for a 1/2" insert.

  
  

  Handling, Storage and Inspection Practice

  
  

  Release the locator with a 1/2" drive ratchet, turning the drive head instead of levering the body off the concrete with a bar. Keep the magnet face clean: concrete dust, curing compound and rust scale on the form cut the holding force, and a locator that slides while the vibrator runs usually points to a contaminated face or a thin form plate. Wipe the face before each set-up and check that the drive head and locating nose are not dented. Store locators dry and away from abrasive grit, and inspect them at the start of each production run. A cracked body, a stripped drive head or a magnet face that has lost its flatness is reason to withdraw the unit. The locator is a setting tool, not a load-bearing insert, so it comes out with the form. For thin form plate or heated curing cycles, ask the factory for magnet grade, holding force and temperature limits.

• Magnetic Ferrule Insert Locators With Shorter Lead Time:

  

  Magnetic Insert Locators are used to mount UNC Threaded Inserts to a steel form instead of drilling holes. Magnets are removed from the concrete using a 1/2” drive ratchet. Available in 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”, 5/8”, 3/4”, 7/8”, 1”, 1-1/8”and 1-1/4” diameters.

• Magnetic Ferrule Insert Locators with Better Service:

  Custom Sizes and OEM Production

  
  

  Locator bodies and non-standard inserts can be produced to your drawings. OEM runs start from an approved sample, with the locator-to-insert pairing confirmed before production.

  
  

  Factory Quality Control

  
  

  Parts are made in an ISO 9001-certified workshop and inspected before dispatch. Ferrule inserts and fixing sockets pass tensile tests with a safety factor of 3 or more.

  
  

  Packaging and Delivery

  
  

  Choose wooden case, carton, bulk or individual packaging, or a custom pack. Shipments move by sea, air or land, with freight consulting and warehousing for mixed orders.

  
  

  Technical Support and After-Sales

  
  

  Engineers advise on size pairing, setback, edge distance and bolt engagement for your elements. The after-sales team handles technical, freight and quality questions.

• Cost-controllable Magnetic Ferrule Insert Locators:

  No Holes in the Steel Form

  
  

  Magnetic mounting leaves the pallet face intact, so there is nothing to drill, plug or repair between casts. A layout change takes seconds: lift the locator, wipe the face and set it down again.

  
  

  Insert Position Held Through the Pour

  
  

  The locator keeps the ferrule insert flat to the form face at the published 1/2" setback while concrete is placed and vibrated, so the thread stays square and clear for the bolt.

  
  

  Ratchet Release and Reuse

  
  

  One turn of a 1/2" drive ratchet releases the magnet after stripping, and the locator goes back on the pallet for the next element. Nine part codes cover 1/4" through 1-1/4" inserts.
