          L3832 Series Threaded Inserts

          L3832 Self-tapping Threaded Inserts

          The advantages: 
          For brittle and ductile plastics such as unsaturated polyester resins (SMC, ZMC), polyurethane and
          glass-fibre reinforced thermoplastics
          Universal use
          High-strength and torsion-proof threads
          Optimum assembly characteristics

          Principle:
          Installation instruction:consists of a cylindrical basic body with internal thread and a special external thread. 
          The profile of the external thread has an extremely small flank angle and expands asymmetrically towards the thread root. 
          This way, installation at low driving torques is optimised.
          Very good tight-fit is achieved with an ideal distribution of load. 
          The bottom part of the bush is provided with a cutting slot. 
          For special requirements, we offer a version with flange. The threaded bush is screwed in with a rotating spindle.

          What is a self-tapping insert?

          A self-tapping insert is a fastener that forms its own threads into a material, usually when installed. These inserts are often used in applications where a strong and durable threaded connection is required, especially in softer materials such as plastics or aluminum, where traditional threads may not hold up well.

          Self-tapping inserts can be made from a variety of materials, including metals and plastics, and come in different designs, such as spiral or knurled. They are commonly used in applications such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics, where they provide a reliable method of securing components without the need for pre-tapping holes.

          The installation process typically involves inserting the self-tapping insert into a pre-drilled hole and then driving it into the material using a tool, such as a screwdriver or a specialized insertion tool. As the insert is driven in, it cuts its own threads, creating a secure fit. This feature makes self-tapping inserts particularly useful in situations where backside access to the material is limited or where traditional threading methods are impractical.
