Types of Thread Insert

 

Types of Thread Insert

Thick-wall inserts: Available in materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and alloy-hardened steel, either with keyed or non-keyed head, thick-wall inserts are types of thread inserts that are used in thicker materials. Typically tubular with a threaded interior, they are also a kind of blind inserts as they can be installed from just one side of the host material that does not allow the aces from the other side. They are available with flat or countersunk heads, which come in open-and closed-end designs. 
Thin-wall inserts: Hexagonal in shapes, thin-wall inserts are available in semi-hex and knurled body types. Just like the thick-wall inserts, thin-wall inserts also have closed-end designs with weather-resistant plating for special applications. The wide-bearing end allows creating a stronger bond. 
Slotted-body, inserts: Also known as wide-tail formation, slotted-body inserts are specially designed with cuts in the body that collapse on the blind side to form a strong connection. These threaded inserts are ideal for soft materials such as wood and composites, plastics and certain metals.
Euro-style insertsOften used for repairs, Euro-style thread inserts are applied where metric threading is required. Although similar to other types of thread inserts, Euro-style thread inserts are available in round, hexagonal, semi-hex, and square body types. 
In spite of being aware of many advantages of thread inserts, many dread at the very thought of its correct installation. However, the thread inserts manufacturers’ claim, they are extremely easy to install and take a matter of few seconds to do it.
 
Khodiyar thread inserts are typically specified in applications where strong, durable metal threads are required in plastic material, especially where frequent assembly and disassembly of the unit for service or repair is necessary. Applications of Khodiyar thread inserts are electronics, automotive, aerospace and defence, medical, transportation, industrial and recreational equipment. The company is a step ahead in fabricating thread inserts for variety of uses.

Wedge lock washers - nord lock

  Wedge lock washers, also known as Nord-Lock washers , are specialized fasteners designed to prevent bolts and nuts from loosening due to vibrations or dynamic loads. These washers use a unique wedge-locking design to ensure that the fastener remains tightly secured, even under extreme conditions. In this article, we will explore the benefits and applications of wedge lock washers, as well as how they work and how to choose the right size for your project. How Wedge Lock Washers Work Wedge lock washers work by using a pair of interlocking wedges that prevent the bolt or nut from turning. When the fastener is tightened, the washers flatten and the wedges create a tension that keeps the bolt or nut from loosening due to vibration or dynamic loads. The unique design of wedge lock washers allows them to maintain their locking effect even under extreme conditions, such as high temperatures, harsh chemicals, and heavy loads. They are particularly effective in applications where...

Difference between Compression and Tension Springs

Among all the different types of industrial springs if you’re wondering which one is most commonly used then the answer is compression spring and tension springs. These two types of springs are manufactured in many sizes and come in different forms to fit the requirement of the spring designs. To anyone not familiar with these springs both of them look quite similar and people might not be able to spot differences. Though they appear similar they’re very different in their use and functioning. Let’s know how the compression springs are different than tension springs. What are compression springs and tension springs? By design and function, every spring is a flexible mechanical element meant to undergo elastic deflection to some extent. The deflection is either from elongation or reduction in the spring length. Both tension spring and compression spring are helical but herein is the main difference between the two as they are made for two different works i.e. one does the pushin...

Spring washers

Spring washers, also known as disc springs , are a type of mechanical fastener that are commonly used to prevent loosening or to absorb shock or vibration in various applications. They are widely used in automotive, aerospace, industrial, and construction industries. In this blog, we will explore the different types of spring washers, their uses, and advantages. Spring washers Types of Spring Washers There are several types of spring washers available in the market, each with its unique design and function. The following are some of the most commonly used spring washers: Belleville Washers: Belleville washers, also known as conical spring washers, are cone-shaped washers that are commonly used to absorb shock and vibration. They are designed to provide a high spring rate and are often used in applications where space is limited. Wave Washers: Wave washers are disc-shaped washers that have a wave-like structure. They are used to absorb shock and vibration and are often used in ...
