    Removable Drill Bushings for Thin Metal

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Drill Bushings. Removable Drill Bushings for Thin Metal.
    Unlike most bushings, these won’t buckle the material or distort the hole when installed in thin-gauge aluminum and steel fixture plates. They’re held in place by a lock ring (sold separately), so they’re easy to remove and reuse. Also known as jig bushings, they accurately guide drill bits, counterbores, reamers, and other cutting tools. Use them to make sure your drilled holes and cuts are consistent from part to part.

    Image of Product. Style A. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Precision Lead Screws and Nuts. Metric Ultra-Precision Lead Screws and Nuts, Externally Threaded Nuts—Right-Hand Thread, Style A.

    Style A

    Operating with less backlash (play) than Metric Precision Acme Lead Screws and Nuts, these provide increased nut life and more reliable movement in automated systems. Also known as single-start and self-locking lead screws and nuts, they have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. The nut travels only when the screw turns, so your system won't unexpectedly move when the lead screw is at rest. To ensure compatibility, select components that have the same thread size, thread type, thread size, thread pitch, and number of thread starts.

    With a metal base plate for added strength, these bumpers withstand repeated impacts for a longer service life than all-rubber bumpers. You can also use them as spacers and noise reducers. Twist them onto a threaded stud on your equipment, or pair them with your own stud to create a custom-length bumper.

    Steel Socket Nuts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Socket Nuts. Steel Socket Nuts.
    Also known as Allen nuts, use these with socket head cap screws in recessed holes and tight spaces that don't have enough clearance for a wrench. Tighten them with a 6-point hex key. They can also be used as an insert by pressing or drawing them into nonhardened steel, cast iron, or soft nonferrous metal or by molding them into plastic, ceramic, fiber, and similar materials. Made from alloy steel, they're comparable in strength to Grade 9 bolts.

    Thread-Locking Threaded Inserts

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Threaded Inserts. Thread-Locking Threaded Inserts.
    With Loctite® adhesive already on the threads, these inserts won’t back out or vibrate loose. The adhesive reaches full strength after 72 hours. Unlike helical inserts, you can install them with a standard drill and tap. However, thread-locking inserts are difficult to remove and reuse.
    After drilling and tapping your hole, install inserts with a wrench or an installation bit. To use a wrench, thread an insert and two hex nuts onto a bolt. Then, grip and turn the top nut to drive into the hole. For slotted inserts, you can drive with a slotted screwdriver instead.
    Standard Wall—Stronger than thin-wall inserts, these are your go-to choice for threading most holes.
    Thin Wall—Use these inserts near the edge of workpieces or wherever you only have space for a small hole. They're also lighter than standard and extra-thick wall inserts for applications with strict weight limits.
    Black Phosphate-Coated Steel—These inserts resist occasional moisture.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.

    Align threads with off-center parts. These inserts have floating threads that shift slightly so you can insert screws at a slight angle as you fasten two parts together. They're comparable to Keensert inserts.
    To install, drill and tap a hole in your material. Then, thread the insert onto the installation tool and screw it into the hole. Place the tool over the keys and hit it with a hammer to drive them in.
    Standard Wall—Stronger than thin-wall inserts, these are your go-to choice for threading most holes.
    High-Strength Cadmium-Plated Alloy Steel—These inserts have the strength to stand up to high-pressure applications and a plating that helps screws thread in smoothly.

    Key-Locking Threaded Inserts for Soft Metal

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Threaded Inserts. Key-Locking Threaded Inserts for Soft Metal.
    Add strong threads in soft metal, such as aluminum. The keys on these inserts drive into holes to hold more securely than thread-locking or helical inserts. They prevent slipping and rotating, so they’re stable enough for use in vehicle or aerospace parts that experience heavy vibration. These inserts are comparable to Keensert inserts.
    To install, drill and tap a hole in your material. Then, thread the insert onto the installation tool and screw it into the hole. Place the tool over the keys and hit it with a hammer to drive them in.
    Standard Wall—Stronger than thin-wall inserts, these are your go-to choice for threading most holes.
    Extra-Thick Wall—Stronger than standard- and thin-wall inserts, use them to reduce the size of tapped holes or replace threads that have been drilled out.
    Black Phosphate-Coated Steel—These inserts resist occasional moisture.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these inserts resist rust and mild chemicals.
    High-Strength High-Temperature A286 Stainless Steel—High temperatures won't reduce the load capacity of these inserts. They also resist chemicals such as bleach and chlorine.

    Multiple thread channels (also known as thread starts) create faster linear travel than lead screws with a single thread start. Operating with less backlash (play) than Metric Precision Acme Lead Screws and Nuts, these lead screws and nuts provide increased nut life and more reliable movement in automated systems. To ensure compatibility, select components that have the same thread size and number of thread starts.

    Smoothly install these inserts for strong threads near the edges and corners of soft metal surfaces. They’re lubricated to prevent sticking as you thread them in. Since these have thinner walls than our key-locking and thread-locking inserts, they don’t need as much space and won't bulge or crack the material. The knurls press (swage) into the material to keep inserts in place when you tighten or loosen a screw.
    To install these inserts, you need a drill bit, a counterbore, a standard tap, an installation tool, and a hammer. Drill a hole, counterbore the top, and tap it. Place the insert into the installation tool, then hand-tighten it into the tapped hole. Strike the tool to secure the insert and drive the knurls into the surrounding material.
    High-Strength Dry-Film-Lubricated Cadmium-Plated Alloy Steel—Stronger than our 17-4 PH stainless steel inserts, these inserts absorb impact without cracking and stand up to high-pressure applications. The cadmium plating prevents corrosion in wet environments.

    High-Strength 17-4 PH Stainless Steel—The strongest stainless steel inserts we offer. They handle high-stress installations, such as pump and compressor housings, and the heavy vibration of aircraft parts. They won’t rust in wet and outdoor environments but can’t withstand the harsh chemicals and acids that 316 stainless steel can.

    These weld nuts prevent fasteners from backing out of assemblies that rotate counterclockwise. Their left-hand threads pair with left-hand screws and rods to stop the fastener from loosening as the assembly turns. Weld them to the end of a tube for a stronger connection than tapping the tube directly. Also known as tube adapters and weldable threaded tube ends.
