Self-Locking Insert

Self-Locking Inserts are a type of hardware commonly used in commercial applications. They are designed to securely fasten components together, preventing them from loosening or coming apart under vibration or other external forces.

These inserts typically consist of a threaded metal cylinder with internal threads and external knurls or ridges. They are commonly made from materials such as stainless steel or brass, which provide durability and resistance to corrosion.

Self-locking inserts are used in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, and manufacturing. They are often used in applications where there is a need for reliable and secure fastening, such as in assembly lines, machinery, and equipment.

The self-locking feature of these inserts is achieved through the design of the internal threads. The threads are designed to create a friction lock when a screw or bolt is inserted, preventing it from loosening over time. This ensures that the components remain securely fastened, even in high-vibration environments.

In the supply group Hardware And Abrasives, self-locking inserts are classified under the supply class Hardware, Commercial. This classification helps in organizing and categorizing different types of hardware products for easy identification and procurement.

Overall, self-locking inserts are a valuable hardware component that provides reliable and secure fastening in various commercial applications.
