Other Thread Inserts

Some other types of thread inserts include:

1. Keylocking Insert: These inserts have a locking mechanism that prevents them from rotating or backing out once installed. They are commonly used in applications where vibration or torque resistance is required.

2. Wire Thread Insert: Also known as helical inserts, these inserts are made of coiled wire and are used to repair damaged or stripped threads. They provide a strong and durable threaded connection.

3. Self Tapping Insert: These inserts have cutting threads that allow them to tap their own threads into a pre-drilled hole. They are commonly used in soft materials such as plastic or wood.

4. Flanged inserts: These inserts have a flange at the top that provides additional stability and prevents them from being pulled through the material. They are often used in thin or soft materials.

5. Mold-in inserts: These inserts are designed to be permanently molded into plastic or composite materials during the manufacturing process. They provide a reliable threaded connection and eliminate the need for post-molding installation.

6. Press-fit inserts: These inserts are designed to be pressed or hammered into a pre-drilled hole. They provide a secure and tight fit without the need for additional adhesives or fasteners.

7. Threaded inserts for metal: These inserts are specifically designed for use in metal materials. They are often made of materials such as stainless steel or brass to provide corrosion resistance and high strength.

8. Threaded inserts for wood: These inserts are designed for use in wood materials. They often have coarse threads and are made of materials such as brass or zinc for easy installation and durability.

These are just a few examples of the many types of thread inserts available. The choice of insert will depend on the specific application requirements and the material being used.
