Types of Thread Insert

Types of Thread Insert

Thick-wall inserts: Available in materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and alloy-hardened steel, either with keyed or non-keyed head, thick-wall inserts are types of thread inserts that are used in thicker materials. Typically tubular with a threaded interior, they are also a kind of blind inserts as they can be installed from just one side of the host material that does not allow the aces from the other side. They are available with flat or countersunk heads, which come in open-and closed-end designs. 
Thin-wall inserts: Hexagonal in shapes, thin-wall inserts are available in semi-hex and knurled body types. Just like the thick-wall inserts, thin-wall inserts also have closed-end designs with weather-resistant plating for special applications. The wide-bearing end allows creating a stronger bond. 
Slotted-body, inserts: Also known as wide-tail formation, slotted-body inserts are specially designed with cuts in the body that collapse on the blind side to form a strong connection. These threaded inserts are ideal for soft materials such as wood and composites, plastics and certain metals.
Euro-style insertsOften used for repairs, Euro-style thread inserts are applied where metric threading is required. Although similar to other types of thread inserts, Euro-style thread inserts are available in round, hexagonal, semi-hex, and square body types. 
In spite of being aware of many advantages of thread inserts, many dread at the very thought of its correct installation. However, the thread inserts manufacturers’ claim, they are extremely easy to install and take a matter of few seconds to do it.
