Commonly utilized in many industries, including mobile phones, laptops, communications, micro-motors, computers, electrical appliances, electronics, toys, watches, lighting, locomotives, and more.

Trusted by engineers all over the world, every part of every RS PRO product has been rigorously tested against demanding industry standards; they’re only given the RS PRO Seal of Approval if we’re confident of their exceptional quality, which means you can be confident too. These engineering components can convert unthreaded holes for use with machine screws and are particularly useful in housing materials which have a low shear strength, as the large diameter of the insert increases the thread engagement and load-bearing capabilities of a fastening. RS PRO have a great range of threaded inserts made from various materials including brass and steel with zinc plated finishes.One where our 2D thoughts are turned into 3D realities and where you have full control of your creative experiments, with a little help from an online expert community that loves to share what we do. Bit odd because the same size hole was drilled for all that I fitted but some didn’t stand up to being screwed into the ply board.

Once fitted, the action of the radial pressure between the insertï¾’s coils and flanks of the tapped hole holds them in place securely.A range of expansion inserts suitable for use with most plastic materials, using either through or blind holes. The extensive range includes various sizes from small M3 Self Tapping Inserts through to M20 Self Tapping Inserts for larger applications. Self Tapping Inserts, also known as threaded bushings, are designed to create a secure anchor within an untapped pilot hole. The flexibility of our inserts enhances load bearing capacity by deflecting the residual forces into a helical direction, which is dispersed into the wall of the tapped hole. Reinforced Threaded Inserts allow threaded holes which have been damaged, torn out or jammed to be used again or repaired.

When installed, the threaded inserts, therefore, provide incredible traction and high tightening and loosening torque. The threaded insert boasts a precise fitment with an accompanying screw and has an integrated guide, eliminating the necessity of a counterbore or countersink.
