Wire Insert Type

Wire inserts are made in stainless steel (X 10 Cr Ni 18-8) and are used to reinforce or repair all types of tapings. Particularly adapted for soft materials (aluminium, magnesium), wire inserts presents a high resistance to thermal (up to 425°C for a short period of time and up to 325° C without interruption), corrosive, atmospheric conditions and mechanical strain. They are used in different areas ( railway, mechanics, armament, electronics, car industry, aerospace). Possible coatings: dried lubrication, zinc plating, silver plating. Wire insert can be delivered in green colour that makes the thread visible to the eye when it is inserted in aluminium tapings.

Comply with the DIN 8140.

Self Tapping Insert

Self Tapping Threaded Inserts are single piece, precision turned parts with both external and internal metric threads and are manufactured from mild steel, stainless steel or brass. These inserts allow permanent threads to be produced in a wide range of components and materials. 

Features & Benefits include:

Tough and durable due to their substantial wall thickness, their use can reduce the thread size required due to the insert's large effective shear surface. This could save material as well as reduce cost and weight.

They eliminate the need for close tolerance holes required for tapping into the base material, damaged tools and low productivity - they need no special installation tool nor the time consuming process associated with installing a wire thread insert. Holes do not need to be separately tapped as the groove will cut its own thread so long as the correct diameter tolerances for the material and the insert are adhered to.
