What is Thread Insert?

Thread inserts are as much useful as they look simple when it comes to assembling two objects. Also known as threaded bushing, or a threaded fastener, is a sleeve with a female threading in the inside to provide support for male threading such as bolts or screws. This tiny element is inserted into an object to append a threaded hole. 

Thread Inserts comes in various sizes that are used for different purposes. Its different designs are meant to hold different types of thin and soft materials, to ensure fastening is well secured and longer lasting.
If you have a objects to assemble that’s made of soft materials, or want to connect to a load bearing object, or needs assembling or dissembling regularly, then perhaps, using thread inserts are a right way to go.

Let us explain you how!
If the object in which you have to thread a screw or bolt is made up of hard material, then it is easily done by directly inserting the screws and bolts into it. The hard material is capable of holding it.
However, if  your object is made up of soft material such as soft wood or fibre plastic, then it  faces difficulty in holding a threaded bolt because, plastic threads are not lasting enough. Due to the softness in the material, they are likely to spread out and lose the grip. Hence, for longer security it is advisable to use thread inserts first, that are appended into the material first and then used for threading bolts and screws. By simply suing thread inserts, you give more strength, and provide resilience to the connected object over time.

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...
