FAQS

What is a threaded insert?

One threaded insert is a metal cylinder designed to be inserted into a pre-existing hole, thus providing an internal thread for a screw or bolt. This solution is ideal for repair damaged nets or for increase thread strength in various materials such as metal, plastic and wood.

It exists different types of threaded inserts, in particular those manufactured by wire wrapping (like Helicoils) or by machining solid metal bars (solid inserts). Each type offers a specific level of resistance, suitable for various applications.

LGC Industries designs custom threaded inserts. For example, The 3-hole intervis® is a practical alternative to Intervis® standards with 1 slot.

Why use a threaded insert?

The use of a threaded insert is particularly recommended for improve thread strength in less resistant materials, such as aluminum, magnesium alloys, and plastics. They are perfect for repair damaged threads without requiring the replacement of the entire part and to prevent wear and tear associated with frequent assembly and disassembly.

Key benefits include a quick installation, a versatility of use in different materials, and a increased sustainability, making it possible to significantly reduce labor and maintenance costs.

How do you attach a threaded insert?

To install a threaded insert, start by drilling a hole in the part in question, making sure to meet the technical specifications for the required diameter. Then insert the threaded insert into this hole. Use a specific installation tool, such as a riveter, which engages in the thread of the insert and exerts a force to deform and secure it securely to the surface.

It is essential to clean the hole thoroughly before installation and to select the appropriate insert, both in design and in specifications, to ensure a stable and durable attachment.

How do I choose a threaded insert?

To choose a threaded insert correctly, consider several important criteria:

• Material: Select a material that is suitable for the load and corrosion resistance required (e.g. aluminum, zinc-plated steel, stainless steel).
• Desired finish: Choose the shape of the insert head.
• Drilled hole diameter: Make sure the diameter matches the shaft of the insert.
• Total thickness to be crimped: Opt for an adequate barrel length, thus avoiding fragile assembly.
• Insert type: Depending on the application, choose from threaded inserts, threaded sockets, knurled and pressed inserts, self-tapping, etc.
• Load capacity: Verify that the insert can handle the weight and force applied.
• Thread size: Ensure compatibility with the nut or bolt, in terms of diameter and pitch.
