FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the splined design?

The splined body provides increased resistance to rotation once installed, preventing the insert from spinning loose under load or vibration.

What materials can these threaded inserts be used in?

They are suitable for a wide range of materials including plastics, composites, wood, and some softer metals. Material thickness should be adequate.

Are these inserts reusable?

These are considered consumable items and are designed for single installation. Repeated removal and reinstallation are not recommended.

What size screw does this insert accommodate?

This insert is designed to create an M5 thread, accommodating M5 screws.

How do I install these inserts?

Installation typically involves drilling a hole, placing the insert, and using a specialized tool (like a rivet gun with a specific mandrel or a thread repair tool) to expand and secure the insert.

What does 'consumable' mean in this context?

It means the insert is designed for permanent installation and is not intended for removal and reuse. It is part of the final assembly.

What is the weight of the pack?

The pack of 50 inserts weighs approximately 0.098 kg.

Troubleshooting

Insert spins when screw is tightened

The hole may be too large, or the material is too soft. Ensure correct drill size is used and consider a larger insert if available. For splined inserts, verify splines are engaged.

Insert does not expand properly

Check that the installation tool is compatible and set up correctly. Ensure the insert is fully seated before applying expansion force.

Threaded insert is damaged during installation

Review the installation technique and ensure the correct tool is being used. Avoid excessive force that could deform the insert before it's secured.

  2. Insert Placement: Place the threaded insert into the prepared hole. Ensure it is seated correctly and flush if required.
  3. Installation: Use a specialized thread repair tool, rivet gun with appropriate mandrel, or other suitable insertion method to expand the insert and secure it within the material. For splined inserts, ensure the splines bite into the material.
