Thread Insert: Your Key to Secured Assembly
One such tiny assembly tool which is popularly used in applications such as defense, aerospace, sustainable energy, transportation, electronics, and medical applications are Thread Inserts. Thread insert come in dimensions and configurations, quality, and designs, range of sizes and diameter and are utilized in innumerable industries such as electrical engineering, plant engineering, defence industry, medical industry, telecommunications, automotive industry, aerospace industry, and at many other places.
But what are Thread Inserts?
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.
Installation: Engineering at its best
Thread inserts offer stronger bonds over self-tapping screws, and are proven better alternative to weld nuts and tapped holes. They are so easy and quick to install and use, that they are considered to be most ideal fasteners used in any manufacturing process, especially because they were engineered for automation.
Due to their ribbed walls which are designed to offer greater strength under load, they can be technically used at any given stage of production, even after a work piece is painted and polished. Once thread inserts are installed, they require not reworking.
Ahmedabad based Khodiyar Springs manufacture Thread Inserts in materials such as brass and stainless steel, that are used in the assembly of various consumer products, electronics and automobiles. The company is a step ahead in fabricating thread insert for variety of uses.
Thread insert provide a secure, longer lasting, wear-resistant internal threads to enable drilling of screws and bolts in drilled holes or molded forms in a simple and quick way. Some of the advantages of using Khodiyar Springs thread inserts are:
Resistance to vibration:
Quality Control
Easy Installation
Khodiyar Springs offer Thread Inserts in materials such as Stainless Steel, Inconel, Phosphor Bronze, Nitronic 60, and Titanium. These varieties are further available in different dimensions, hardness, corrosion-resistance, tensile, temperature bearing range, and magnetic permeability.
So, assemble better, easier, and for longer, with Thread Inserts.
