Fasteners - Threaded Inserts Squaresert®
The Squaresert™ insert (offered in metric sizes only) is a steel, square shaped, bubbling insert offered with a large flange. Bubbling means that during the installation process, the insert collapses into a bubble shape on the backside of the application material. The application material is clamped between the flange of the insert and the bubble shape resulting in high resistance to pull-out loads. Because the insert forms a bubble on the backside of the application, the Squaresert™ insert cannot be used in blind hole applications. The bubble also serves as a load bearing surface, which absorbs the force of setting the insert. Otherwise the setting force, or clamp load, could spread into the application material and might damage the material. This makes the Squaresert™ insert ideal for use in thin sheet, soft, brittle and low strength materials. The square shape of the Squaresert™ insert offers the greatest resistance to turning of any threaded insert. The square shape improves torque-to-turn in metallic sheets by up to 350% compared to plain body inserts making the Squaresert™ insert ideal for automotive body mountings requiring maximum turning resistance. The large flange provides a large load bearing surface, reinforces the application hole and prevents push through.
