m2 thread insert for aluminum

Product Application

The application of Threaded Inserts
Threaded Inserts are designed to improve the strength of assemblies by distributing forces from the fastener over a large area in the base material, thus increasing the load-bearing capability. For metals such as aluminum, this means full utilization of high-tensile-strength fasteners. In plastics, Threaded Inserts avoid wear and cold-flow problems encountered with thread-forming screws. Threaded Inserts offer both engineering and cost economies.

Main Features

Threaded Inserts are cylindrical, metal bushings with features on the outside which lock them into a plastic or metal base material to anchor your fasteners. Our Threaded Inserts provide high-quality, permanent, wear-resistant internal threads and are designed to be installed in molded or drilled holes in one simple step. While each style performs in a range of materials, they are generally classified by method of installation: Thread-Cutting, Thread-Forming, Push-In, or Ultrasound
