          Quik-Tek Inserts

          QT Series Inserts

          The advantages:
          Ideal for thermoplastic parts
          Especially designed for thermal installation
          Screw-locked and low-tension anchoring
          High pull-out values
          Efficient installation due to single-spindle, 
          multiple spindle or automatic machines with preheating device
          Designed for thermoplastic plastics (PPS. ABS、PP etc.)


          Installation:
          The QT thread insert is heated to the melting temperature of the plastic.
          As a result of the heat transfer upon insertion,the plastic is plasticised for a short
          time and flows into the undercut of the thread insert.Upon cooling,a low-stress
          interference is realised.

          What is the difference between a bolt and a nut?

          The difference between bolts and nuts mainly lies in their design, function, and how they are used in fastening applications. Here are the main differences:

          1. Design
          Bolt: A bolt is a cylindrical fastener with an external thread on the shank and a head on one end. The head is usually large and can be shaped into various shapes (e.g., hexagonal, square) to facilitate engagement with tools.
          Nut: A nut is a hexagonal or square piece with internal threads that match the external threads of a bolt. The nut has no head and is designed to fit with a bolt.

          2. Function
          Bolt: Bolts are used to fasten materials together by inserting them into holes on one or more parts. They are usually secured with a nut on the other side.
          Nut: Nuts are used to secure bolted connections. When the nut is screwed onto the bolt, it creates a clamping force that holds the materials together.

          3. Use
          Bolts: Bolts are commonly used where high strength is required, such as structural components, machinery, and automotive applications. They are inserted through pre-drilled holes and tightened with nuts.
          Nuts: Nuts are used specifically with bolts (or sometimes with screws) to complete the fastening process. They may also be used with washers to spread the load and prevent damage to the material being fastened.
