High Strength Hexsert®
High strength Hexsert® provides clamp force comparable to weld nuts and clinch nuts in high torque applications.
Overview
The Avdel High Strength Hexsert® is a threaded insert which provides a clamp force comparable to weld nuts and clinch nuts in high torque applications. The hexagonal shape and large flange gives the High Strength Hexsert exceptional torque-to-turn strength in thin sheet materials whilst having safeguards against over tightening which can lead to thread stripping and the need for expensive rework.
Key features and benefits
- Exceptional torque capability
- High speed assembly
- Provides high-strength threads in thin materials starting at 0.5mm
- Increased thread strength
- If excessive torque is applied, the screw shank should fail before the insert, avoiding over-tightening problems such as thread stripping and expensive rework
- Installed and retrofitted with standard Avdel® handtools, as well as multi-head and auto-feed robotic systems
Assembly applications
- Tubular steel
- Hydroformed parts
- Magnesium castings
- Aluminum extrusions
Material and finishes
- Steel Zinc plated to BS 3382 and clear passivated to achieve 240 hours resistance to red corrosion (ASTM B117) Hexavalent Chromium-free
Specifications
- Sizes: M6, M8, M10 and M12
- Large flange
- Hexagon
