How to choose a suitable steel wire thread insert?
The application of steel wire inserts is becoming increasingly widespread. How to choose a suitable steel wire insert that can meet the standards and be convenient to use is the main problem faced by users. Below, we will share with you the aspects that need to be paid attention to when selecting the size of steel wire inserts:
Firstly, the nominal length (L) of the steel wire thread insert, which is the actual length of the thread insert after installation,
The second point is the nominal diameter of the thread (d), which is the nominal diameter of the screw installed in the steel wire insert (d)
The third point is the pitch (p) of the thread, which is the pitch (p) of the screw installed in the steel wire thread insert
When selecting the nominal length (L) of the steel wire thread insert, the user mainly considers the following two aspects:
- Through hole: In the case of through holes, the entire hole needs to be fully tapped, and the entire hole depth is the actual length of the threaded insertafter installation. The selection is based on the hole depth=the length of the threaded insert.
- Blind hole: In the case of blind holes, the actual length of the threaded thread after installation should not exceed the effective thread depth for selection.
