Tanged inserts

Apart from Tangless inserts, ASM Fasteners has added the full range of Tanged inserts and tooling to its portfolio of stock holding.

Lightweight materials are essential for aerospace and other high performance applications. A tapped thread in these materials can be stripped or damaged on a single use, turning a potentially expensive component to scrap. Drilling and tapping a screw thread insert (STI) thread allows a KATO CoilThread insert to be installed, which will create a permanent, wear-resistant thread that exceeds the strength of most parent materials.

The larger diameter of the tapped thread increases the strength of the parent material. A simple design table makes it easy to select the correct insert length for the application.
