Thread inserts

Helicoidal thread inserts, commonly known as helicoils, reinforce the thread in low shear strength materials, such as aluminum, aluminum alloys, etc. They also allow recovering a damaged thread to its initial size 


Our free running Helicoils are always available for immediate delivery in stainless steel 

- in metric sizes from M2 to M22 

- or in inches (UNC, UNF)


On request thread inserts can also be supplied in larger sizes, in other materials (AISI 316, Inconel, silver Inconel, Bronze), in special versions (BSP, BSW, NPT) and also Tangless


The installation takes place using instruments, available in our shop: Thread insert taps, Installation tools for thread inserts, Thread repair kits

Self tapping threaded inserts, Ensat bushes, Ensat 302, Ensat 307, Ensat 308, self-tapping bushes

Self tapping bushes

Ensat self-tapping inserts are internally and externally threaded bushes with tapping feature. They are applied to metallic materials with low shear resistance, such as aluminium, aluminum and magnesium alloys. They are self-tapping, fitting into properly sized holes without the need for tapping. Ensat bushes are used both to reinforce threads and repair damaged threads 


We offer following types of self-tapping inserts: 

- with tapping slots (Ensat 302) 

- with tapping holes short version (Ensat 307) 

- with tapping holes long version (Ensat 308) 


They are available for immediate delivery: 

- in metric sizes M3 - M12 (larger sizes on request) 

- and materials zinc-plated Galvanized steel, Stainless steel, Brass and AISI 316 (on request) 


The installation takes place using manual or machine installation tools available in the shop

Keensert KNM, KNHM, KNCM, KNML, KNHML, KNCML. Keysert, Keyinsert, Clavsert.

Inserts with keys Keensert

Keenest inserts are internally and externally threaded bushes with locking keys.


Keenserts are extremely robust, have high resistance to rotation and extraction, a very precise thread and are easy to install and remove. They are widely used in sectors such as mechanics or precision engineering, aeronautics and aerospace on light alloys, steel or cast iron. They can also be used in damaged threads in expensive components.


They are available in the following versions:

- Micro, Light duty, Heavy duty series

- Free running or Screw locking

- in Stainless steel AISI303 or phosphated steel

- in Metric sizes M4 - M24 (MF, UNC, UNF available by request)

Spirol coiled spring pins

Coiled spring pins

Coiled spring pins otherwise known as Spiral pins, Coil pins, Roll pins or simply Spring pins are self-retaining fasteners representing a simple and economical system for connecting various mechanical parts, constituting the pivot for fastening or rotating parts of a mechanism.  


Spirol coiled spring pins are an evolution of classic slotted pins, offering important advantages. They are the only press-fit pins designed to remain flexible after installation.They are shock-absorbing, when stressed, they do not break but close and expand always maintaining perfect contact with the holes in the coupled elements. The absence of longitudinal cuts, typical of other elastic pins, not only eliminates a point of weakness but also facilitates automated assembly. In addition, once removed from their position, the pins regain their original dimensions in full, allowing them to be reused. 


Coiled spring pins can be also used in brittle materials and thin walls, or in holes that are not perfectly cylindrical. 


They can be supplied in diameters from 0.8mm to 20mm and with lengths from 4mm to 120mm in the following types and materials: 

- Standard duty (ISO 8750, DIN 7343, UNI 6875), Heavy duty (ISO 8748, DIN 7344, UNI 6876) and Light duty (ISO 8751, DIN 7343, UNI 6875), allowing to select the right combination of strength, flexibility and diameter to suit different host materials, strength requirements and loading types

- Made of C67S carbon steel (HV420-545); in AISI 420 chrome stainless steel (HV460-560); in AISI 304 nickel stainless steel (hardened HV120 approx.); in SAE 6150H chrome vanadium steel (HV 423-544)

Fasteners for Plastics

Brass threaded inserts for plastic, self tapping  thread insert for plastic

Inserts for plastic

In plastics, the most practical and secure attachment system is provided by use of threaded brass inserts. We offer a complete line of threaded inserts for plastic to suit the installation method, type of plastic material and performance requirements of your specific application 


In our shop you may find inserts with different installation techniques: 

- installation in cold plastics, with various types of attachment (self-tapping, press-in, or expansion) 

- heat or ultrasonic installation

- co-molding installation


The two main categories of plastics suitable for threaded inserts installation are:

- thermoplastics, such as ABS, polyamide e.g. Nylon 6-6, PVC and polycarbonate 

- thermosets, and also epoxy or polyester resins or Bakelite


Our brass threaded inserts are always available in metric sizes from M3 to M6. And also in inches upon request

Self-tapping screws for plastic, screws for plastic, Plas-Tech 30, Plas-Fix 45, TR Fastenings screws

Screws for plastic

Self tapping screws for plastic are specially designed to provide reliable fastenings in a wide variety of thermoplastic materials, such as ABS, polyamide e.g. Nylon 6-6, PVC and polycarbonate. They are made of hardened steel and have special shape to prevent breakage of the plastic material caused by excessive stresses generated by usual screws 


They are available in 2 types: 

- Plas-Tech 30 with single 30-degree thread 

- Plas-Fix 45 with a trilobal shank and single thread at a 45-degree angle, for high anchorage and low radial stresses. Special profile prevents crackings on material 


Available in metric sizes from 2.2 x 5 to 4 x 30 with pan head or countersunk head. Diameters 5 and 6, up to length 30 mm available on request

Fasteners for Sheet metals

Sheet metal inserts, self-clinching sheet metal nuts and studs

Fasteners for sheet metal

Threaded inserts for metal sheets offer a strong joints in thin metals. Unlike weld-on nuts or studs, threaded inserts can be applied to thin sheets (0.6-3mm) that have already been treated or painted. They are available in two variants: with self-clinching or self-rebating fastening system.


Self-clinching and self-rebating inserts are installed into the appropriately sized holes using a punch.  When squeezed by a punch, inserts attach themselves to the metal sheet by under-head locking tooth features, providing torsional, rotational resistance. In the case of the self-rebating series, the hooking also takes advantage of the small back rivet, however imperceptible to the touch.


We offer a very complete line of threaded inserts for thin metal sheets:

- self clinching nuts and studs, blind and through hole standoffs, flush nuts, pins, nuts and panel fasteners

- made of different materials (Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum)

- in metric sizes from M3 to M10 


For inquiries or orders send an email or contact us by phone, as not all products of this line are available in the online shop.
