Stainless Steel Free Running Thread Inserts

Thread Reinforcement
Low strength material such as aluminium, fibre-reinforced plastics (FRP), iron castings and magnesium alloys have poor threading properties and the threads created in these materials tend to wear out quickly. This problem can be rectified by thread reinforcement which is typically performed using threaded inserts. Threaded inserts not only provide a strong thread in materials with difficult machining characteristics, but they also reduce the amount of material required by being able to use screws and bolts of smaller diameters and shorter lengths. This is made possible by the high thread resilience of BaerCoil thread inserts which save material usage by up to 10-30%. This results in a reduction of weight and space which is often crucial in aerospace and automobile industries. The saving of material also minimises the total cost of production.
Free running thread inserts are ideal for thread repair and thread reinforcement
