Self-tapping and special inserts
New self-tapping and special threaded inserts catalogue
FIXI has introduced a new catalogue for self-tapping and special threaded inserts, which it says are easy to install by manual or machine operated tools, as well as being high resistance fixings.
FIXI self-tapping inserts are metal bushes with an internal and external thread. These inserts are designed with a cutting slot or cutting holes that allow the self-tapping feature. They are used in both hard materials such as steel and stainless steel, as well as soft materials such as light alloys, plastics, copper, cast iron and wood.
These inserts are available in different geometries with specific technical features and are suitable for many applications in several industries such as automotive and railway, household appliances, medical devices, furniture, composite products and more.
Self-tapping inserts are also easy to be installed. A user must simply drill the right hole diameter in the receiving material and insert the fastener by using a manual or machine operated installation tool.
