- For producing high-strength screw connections and other threaded connections in materials with low shear strength, e.g. cast iron, aluminium alloys, plastics, hardwood etc.
- The inserts are simply screwed into a pre-drilled or pre-cast hole
- Cutting effect due to sharp edges and interrupted threads of the male thread
- The front threads are bevelled for easier cutting and insertion
- The cutting slot keeps the thread inserts anchored even during strong vibrations or shaking of the workpiece.
- Chrome(VI)-free zinc thick film passivation for good corrosion protection (corrosion resistance in salt spray test according to DIN EN ISO 9227-NSS (h): 72h white rust/120 red rust)
