Threaded Insert 3361 0315 46 for Atlas Copco & Epiroc Hydraulic Breakers
The Threaded Insert (Part No. 3361 0315 46) is a precision-engineered component vital for the structural integrity of Atlas Copco and Epiroc hydraulic breakers. These inserts are typically used in the housing or the front head to provide high-strength, wear-resistant threads for heavy-duty bolts and fasteners. Because hydraulic breakers operate under constant vibration and high-frequency shock, a high-quality threaded insert is essential to prevent bolt loosening and housing damage.
Merit manufactures these inserts using high-grade materials and precision threading technology to ensure they meet the rigorous demands of the global demolition and mining industries.

Why Choose the MERIT Threaded Insert 3361 0315 46?
In the world of hydraulic hammers, even the smallest component plays a massive role in safety and performance. Merit’s threaded inserts provide:
1. Exceptional Thread Strength
Our inserts are crafted from high-tensile steel that resists “stripping” or “galling” even when subjected to the extreme torque required for breaker assembly. This ensures that your tie rods and housing bolts remain securely fastened during operation.
2. Perfect Fitment & Alignment
Using advanced CNC machining, we ensure that every 3361 0315 46 insert has perfect pitch and diameter. This allows for a seamless replacement process, ensuring that the bolts align perfectly with the internal components of your Atlas Copco or Epiroc hammer.
3. Vibration Resistance
Demolition work creates relentless vibration. Merit’s inserts are designed to maintain their position within the casting, preventing the mechanical play that often leads to cracked housings or broken bolts.
Maintenance Insight: When to Replace Threaded Inserts?
Threaded inserts should be inspected during every major overhaul or whenever a bolt is removed:
- Worn Threads: If the threads appear flattened or jagged, replace the insert immediately to avoid bolt failure.
- Seizing: If a bolt has “seized” due to heat or corrosion, the insert often sustains damage during removal. Replacing it with a new 3361 0315 46 ensures the new bolt will hold at the correct torque.
- Housing Protection: It is always cheaper to replace a threaded insert than to repair the threads in a main housing or front head casting.
