Screw thread inserts, normally are formed from high quality stainless steel wire with a diamond shaped cross section, wound to the shape of a spring thread. Once the wire is wound into a helical coil and installed into a tapped hole, it provides a permanent and wear resistant thread in the parent material that is generally stronger than the original thread.
The inserts are designed to be greater in diameter than the tapped hole and compress as they are installed. This allows maximum surface contact area with the tapped thread, safely and permanently anchoring the inserts into place. The insert's compensatory action shares the load over the entire bolt and hole, increasing pull out and torque out strength. With a screw thread insert in place, load and stress are more evenly distributed over the assembly.
Material: Standard inserts are manufactured from 304 stainless steel. We also provide inserts of other material like phosphor bronze and Nitronic 60. Different coatings or platings may be available on request.
Phosphor Bronze Free-running thread inserts
Designed for electrical applications, Phosphor Bronze inserts provide no outside interference of signals. This characteristic ensures their successful use in electrical bonding joints and related operations. These advanced inserts have been successfully employed in the manufacturing
of a wide range of sensitive electrical equipment including circuit boards, telecommunications control boxes, and medical instrumentation and equipment.
Where screw thread inserts are appliedd?
