Slotted Self-Tapping Insert | 304 SS

Core Functionality:
A high-performance fastener engineered to create

durable, wear-resistant, and reusable internal

threads in soft base materials (e.g., aluminum

alloys, magnesium alloys, plastics, wood, composites).

Key Features & Mechanism:

Self-Tapping Design:

Sharp external threads cut matching threads directly into pre-drilled pilot holes (eliminates pre-tapping)

Slotted Structure

Axial slots (straight/spiral) enable efficient swarf removal during installation, preventing clogging.

Accommodates material tolerances and reduces installation torque.

Precision Internal Threads:

Standard metric/imperial threads (e.g., M3-M12, UNC/UNF) ensure reliable bolt/screw engagement.

Reinforcement Benefits:

Distributes load across wider surface area → ↑ tensile strength & ↑ pull-out resistance.

Shields soft substrates from wear/stripping during repeated fastening cycles.

Corrosion-resistant materials (SS 304/316) extend service life.

Advantages:

✅ Simplified Installation: No pre-threading → saves time/cost.

✅ Optimized Swarf Clearance: Slots prevent jamming during self-tapping.

✅ Enhanced Thread Integrity: Creates threads stronger than the base material.

✅ Durability: Withstands corrosion, wear, and frequent assembly/disassembly.

✅ Easy Repair: Damaged inserts can be replaced to salvage components.

✅ Standard Compliance: Manufactured to DIN/ISO specifications.
