SELF-TAPPING AND SPECIAL THREADED INSERTS

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document is a technical catalog from Fixi, focusing on self-tapping and special threaded inserts. It covers product specifications, installation methods, and material compatibility.
Specifications: The catalog details various self-tapping inserts like F212 and F303, made from materials such as case-hardened zinc-plated steel, stainless steel (AISI 303 and 316L), and brass. These inserts are designed for specific applications, offering high pull-out and shear strength.
Technical Information: Self-tapping inserts feature internal and external threads, suitable for both hard and soft materials. They provide high mechanical fixing performance and are easy to install using a drilled hole and a manual or machine-operated tool.
Applications: These inserts are used in industries such as automotive, household appliances, medical devices, and aerospace. They are compatible with materials like steel, aluminum, brass, plastics, and wood.
Installation Methods: The document outlines manual and machine installation methods, emphasizing the correct hole diameter and alignment. Lubrication is recommended during installation for optimal depth and performance.
Selection Guide: A guide helps select the appropriate insert based on the receiving material, such as steel, light metal alloys, and plastics. Compatibility with different materials is indicated for each insert type.
Key Data from Tables: Tables provide detailed measurements for each insert type, including internal thread size, external diameter, and recommended hole sizes for different materials. Special attention is given to edge distance requirements for optimal performance.
Self-Tapping Threaded Inserts Overview:

Specifications:
The document details various types of self-tapping threaded inserts, including F318, F318-FC, FXSCTB, FXF309, and BF-BZ. These inserts are designed for different materials such as metals, plastics, wood, and composites. They are available in materials like case-hardened zinc-plated steel, stainless steel AISI 303, brass, and zamac.

Procedures:
Installation does not require pre-tapping, as these inserts cut their own threads. Internal thread tolerance follows ISO 6H, and external diameter tolerance follows manufacturing standards.

Norms and Recommendations:
Minimum edge distance requirements are provided for different materials: light alloy (W ≥ 0.2 x D), cast iron (W ≥ 0.3 x D), and plastics (W ≥ 0.25 x D). These guidelines ensure optimal performance and prevent material damage.

Product Variants:
  • F318 Type: Features open cutting holes, suitable for thin materials.
  • F318-FC Type: Includes closed cutting holes to retain swarf, ideal for electronics where clean holes are necessary.
  • FXSCTB Type: Suitable for thermoplastics and thermosetting materials, offering high pull-out resistance.
  • FXF309 Type: Designed for plastics, wood, and composites, providing high pull-out and torque-out resistance.
  • BF-BZ Type: Can be installed using hand tools or tapping machines, suitable for plastics, wood, and composites, available in steel or zamac.

Key Data from Tables:
Tables provide detailed dimensions for each insert type, including internal thread size, external diameter, and recommended hole sizes for different materials. They also specify available lengths and materials for each insert type.

Critical Information:
Attention is drawn to the special thread design that requires drilling but no pre-tapping. The document emphasizes adhering to specified tolerances and edge distance requirements for proper installation and performance.
Technical Specifications:
The document provides detailed specifications for self-tapping inserts and related tools, including models like 83UTM05, 83UTM06, 83UTM08, 83UTM10, and 83UTM12, with specifications like thread size, length, and recommended torque ranges.

Tools for Self-Tapping Inserts:
Tools are available with square or hexagonal drives, suitable for use with electric or pneumatic tools, and manual tools like tap wrenches or cordless screwdrivers.

Technical Details:
Recommended drilling diameters are provided for different materials, including light metal alloys, brass, non-ferrous metals, bronze, and cast iron. The document specifies tensile strength and Brinell hardness for these materials.

Special Threaded Inserts:
KN-KNH inserts feature 2 or 4 locking keys to prevent rotation due to torsion or vibration. These are available in thin wall and heavy-duty versions for high-performance threading or repairing worn threads.

Installation and Removal Procedures:
Detailed procedures for installation and removal of inserts are provided, including drilling, tapping, and key placement.

Materials and Availability:
Inserts are made from hardened zinc-plated steel and stainless steel AISI 303. Options for UNC/UNF threads and setting tools are available on demand.

Additional Fasteners:
The document also mentions various fasteners for sheet metal, tubes, plastics, and solid surfaces, including self-clinching fasteners, threaded inserts, and blind rivets.
