Threaded Inserts

Threaded Inserts are precision-engineered fastening components designed to provide durable, reusable threads in materials that are too soft or thin to support direct threading. Installed into pre-drilled holes, these inserts create strong internal threads for bolts and screws, ensuring reliable fastening in wood, plastics, aluminum, and thin metal sheets. By distributing load more evenly across the parent material, threaded inserts prevent stripping, loosening, and wear, extending the lifespan of both the fastener and the assembly.

There are multiple types of threaded inserts suited to different applications. Press-fit or molded-in inserts are commonly used in plastics, while self-tapping inserts cut their own threads into softer materials like wood and aluminum. Helical coil inserts (Heli-Coils) restore damaged threads and reinforce weak ones in machinery and engines. Rivet nuts (nutserts) expand behind thin sheet metals, providing secure threads where conventional nuts cannot be used. Variants are available in brass, stainless steel, carbon steel, and zinc-plated finishes, ensuring strength and corrosion resistance across diverse working conditions.

Applications of Threaded Inserts in Pakistan span automotive, aerospace, furniture, electronics, and industrial manufacturing. Automotive technicians use helical inserts to repair stripped threads in engine blocks and cylinder heads. Furniture makers rely on wood inserts to provide strong joints for flat-pack furniture and cabinetry. In aerospace and electronics, lightweight threaded inserts ensure precision fastening in aluminum housings and composite materials. Even in DIY repairs, threaded inserts are indispensable for restoring strength to worn or damaged threads in tools, appliances, and equipment.

Correct installation of threaded inserts is vital for performance. Using the proper insertion tools—such as mandrels for rivet nuts, drivers for wood inserts, or installation kits for helical coils—ensures alignment and prevents thread damage. By selecting the right insert type, size, and material, industries can achieve strong, reliable fastening solutions that reduce downtime, minimize rework, and enhance overall product quality.
