Solid Thread Inserts provide a robust, wear-resistant, and permanent solution for repairing damaged threads or reinforcing new assemblies in soft materials like aluminum and plastics. Unlike coil inserts, these are solid, one-piece bushings that offer superior pull-out strength and resistance to thread stripping. They are ideal for applications demanding the highest levels of structural integrity.
Used extensively in the automotive, aerospace, and tooling industries, our solid thread inserts ensure structural integrity in high-stress applications. They are installed with standard tools and provide a metric or imperial thread that is often stronger than the parent material, making them indispensable for critical repairs and original equipment manufacturing (OEM).
Characteristics: Solid, precision-machined bushing with external cutting threads or keys for robust self-tapping installation.
Measurements: Internal Thread Size: M3 – M30 (Metric) or UNC/UNF #4 – 1.5 inch. Lengths are highly customized based on load.
Material: Carbon Steel (for general use), Stainless Steel (303, 316 for corrosion resistance), specialized heat-resistant alloys.
Key Parameters: Internal Thread Tolerance (e.g., 6H), External Diameter, Installation Torque, Shear Strength.
Manufacturing Process: CNC Turning, precision milling, and specialized key/slot cutting for high accuracy.
Unit of Measure: mm, inch.
Coating and Finish: Zinc plating, dry film lubricant for reduced installation friction, or plain finish.
Applications: Engine block repair, heavy machine tooling, plastic molding, gearbox assemblies, and military equipment.
