In a world filled with next-generation materials, is there still room for the threaded insert? Even in non-electrified vehicles, weight has grown as safety protocols demand more safety systems. According to NADA, the average weight of a new vehicle sold in the US in 2022 was 4,329 pounds – 1,000
Boosting precision while reducing production costs: The role of threaded inserts in aerospace manufacturing In the aerospace industry, precision, durability, and efficiency are critical in every aspect of design and assembly. Threaded inserts play a significant role in meeting these demands by helping streamline the assembly process while ensuring structural
Every ounce counts in the aerospace industry. Meanwhile, strength is also at a premium because commercial aircraft like the Boeing 737 have to consistently fly upwards of 500 miles an hour while military aircraft like the F-35A Lightning II typically fly faster than two times the speed of most commercial
Selecting the Optimal Threaded Insert Seating Method for Industrial Applications If your plastic or composite assemblies require more strength, heat-set and ultrasonic inserts may be the answer. Heat-Set and Ultrasonic Inserts offer and require more pull-out strength than even traditional press-in inserts. Both of these inserts find their strength by
Why traditional fastener designs may not work Over the last two decades – especially with the advent of heavy batteries in the automotive industry – the race for lightweight and high-performance composite assemblies has taken center stage. These assemblies, typically made from composites like carbon fiber and CFRP have become
