What are Self Tapping Threaded Inserts?
Self-tapping threaded inserts are fasteners designed to create strong, reusable threads in materials that are too soft or thin to hold standard threads, for example in
aluminum, plastic, wood, or composite materials. Self tapping threaded inserts feature a self-tapping mechanism with a cutting slot: this insert creates its own threads within a pre-drilled hole, eliminating the necessity for pre-tapping.
Where are Self Tapping Threaded Inserts used?
Common uses for these inserts include repairing stripped threads, such as in engine blocks or electronics housings. They can also be applied to reinforce threads in softer materials
(e.g., for repeated assembly/disassembly). In plastic they can be used to maintain a strong thread without cracking the plastic. In woodwork they can be useful in furniture or fixtures
which require repeated screwing/unscrewing.
Steel self-tapping inserts are employed in the automotive sector to create strong threads in components made from materials like aluminum alloys and plastics.
In the assembly of electronic devices, steel inserts provide durable threads in plastic housings, ensuring longevity and reliability.
Material Benefits
These self tapping threaded inserts are manufactured from steel and stainless steel. The steel construction provides substantial strength and wear resistance, ensuring reliable performance in a variety of industrial applications.
