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.

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 ...

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 desig...
