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.
