Self-tapping thread inserts are fasteners that can create or repair threads in soft or thin materials, such as metal, plastic, or wood https://www.juxinfasteners.com/inserts-wire-threaded-inserts/. They have internal and external threads designed to cut their threads as they are driven into a drilled holehttps://https://www.juxinfasteners.com/inserts-wire-threaded-inserts/. Self-tapping thread inserts are made of various materials, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, zinc, and other alloys https://https://www.juxinfasteners.com/inserts-wire-threaded-inserts/. Different materials have different hardness, strength, and corrosion resistance and must be selected according to the application and purpose.
Self-tapping thread inserts have the following features:
• Time-saving and labor-saving: Self-tapping thread inserts do not require pre-drilling and can be easily installed with a drill, screwdriver, or machine, saving time and effort.
• Firm and reliable: Self-tapping thread inserts can fit tightly with the material, forming precise threads and improving the stability and reliability of the connection.
• Easy to remove: Self-tapping thread inserts can be easily removed from the material without damaging it and can be reused.
• Diversified: Self-tapping thread inserts have various types, sizes, shapes, and colors to meet different needs and aesthetic effects.
The installation method of self-tapping thread inserts is as follows:
• Choose the appropriate self-tapping thread insert: According to the nature, thickness, and connection method of the material, choose the suitable type, material, diameter, and length of the self-tapping thread insert.
• Determine the installation position: Mark the installation position of the self-tapping thread insert on the material and ensure the position is accurate, aligned, and even.
• Drive in the self-tapping thread insert: Use a drill, screwdriver, or machine to drive the self-tapping thread insert vertically into the material until the head of the self-tapping thread insert is flush or slightly lower than the material's surface.
• Check the connection effect: Check whether the self-tapping thread insert is tightened, whether it fits well with the material, and whether there is any looseness or leakage.
The precautions for installing self-tapping thread inserts are as follows:
• Do not use too much force to drive in the self-tapping thread insert to avoid breaking the self-tapping thread insert or deforming the material.
• Do not use too little force to drive in the self-tapping thread insert to avoid loosening or falling off the self-tapping thread insert.
• Do not use inappropriate tools to drive in the self-tapping thread insert to avoid damaging it or scratching the material.
• Do not use self-tapping thread inserts in wet, corrosive, or high-temperature environments to avoid affecting the performance and lifespan of the self-tapping thread inserts.
Where are self-tapping thread inserts used? Self-tapping thread inserts have a wide range of applications and can be used in various fields, such as machinery, equipment, furniture, electronics, automobiles, aviation, construction, etc. For example:
• Installing self-tapping thread inserts in metal plates or pipes can achieve the connection or fixation of metals or serve as the basis for other screws.
• Installing self-tapping thread inserts in plastic or wood can achieve the connection or fixation of plastic or wood or enhance the strength and durability of plastic or wood.
• Installing self-tapping thread inserts in electronic products or appliances can facilitate the installation or replacement of electronic components or circuit boards or improve their safety and stability.
