Brass Molding Inserts BMI-1
Threaded inserts (available in brass, stainless steel and low carbon steel) are ideal for plastics, alloys and composite
materials. These inserts are designed to provide strong metal threads for machine screws.
These are available in various knurled and undercut patterns to suit almost any assembly application. They are
designed to provide the high performance strength values of molded-in inserts whilst still retaining all of the
economic advantages of insert installation after molding.
Inserts can be installed in a variety of ways. These include ultrasonic welding, hot or cold press-in, mold-in and self
threading.
Applications include mobile handset, tablet, notebook, consumer electronics and medical / health applications and
many other custom and tailor made applications.
 
Features
  • Tapered Hole (8 degrees)
  • With ribs lead in hole Straight Hole
  • With a Flat head lead in hole Knurls provide the performance function(torque,tensile)
  • Diamond Knurl (Raised/ Inverted)
  • Diagonal Knurl (Single knurl/ Opposing knurl)
  • Straight Knurl (Increases Torque Performance)
  • Undercut: allows plastic to flow into grooves for higher pull out resistance
  • Flange: To eliminate direct contact of plastic with mating parts Increases push in performance
 
Benefits
  • Outside Diameter (Body) Fit into the hole
  • Length (Body) Fit into the hole depth
  • Knurling length (Performance Consideration)
  • Knurl Pitch (Number of knurl division Thread standard Chips)
 
The brass threads of inserts have a much higher strength when compared to a bare plastic tapped thread. The
inserts make a great bond with plastics when heat is applied, so you won’t to worry about motor misalignment
if you are securing it to a 3D printed part or a belt tensioner wearing down.
Strength aside, the inserts will last longer for any assembly where bolts and screws need to be cycled more than
once. tapped bare plastic can wear and become cross threaded easily, whereas brass inserts can handle consistent
cycling much better.

    • Do you provide repairing services or any demo if needed?
      Yes we do provide thread repairing services at your doorstep and have also posted tutorial videos on how to use our Kits on our YouTube channel, Rapi-coil Screw Thread Solutions, and we strive to respond to any question people ask us about using thread repairing inserts.
    • Will the new thread be stronger than the previous one?
      Yes and it will last longer than the previous one.
    • Is it similar to Helicoil?
      We are the Indian manufacturer and supplier of stainless steel wire thread inserts, whereas Helicoil is a foreign based company.

    • Are they similar to springs in any way?
      No, the thread repair kits and other related tools that we offer have nothing in common with springs and cannot be used as springs.
    • For inspection purposes, how does one accurately measure the insert diameter and length of a wire thread insert before installation?
      The outer diameter (OD) of a wire insert can only be measured in its free state by first measuring the free coil diameter (FCD) and then counting the number of coils from the notch of the tang to the top of the insert determines its length. The free coil diameter and the number of coils per a specific size insert can be found in the manufacturer’s literature, or generally on their website. Note that wire inserts come in five lengths, each a multiple of the diameter (i.e., 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 & 3.0 X diameter) — and that length is the installed length of the insert.
    • Can a user use a standard drill and tap combination with wire thread or key-locking inserts?
      The answer is yes for standard drills but no for tap for wire thread inserts. Wire thread inserts require the use of screw thread insert or STI taps only and standard taps cannot be used for installation of a wire thread insert. However standard drills can be used as per Drill size recommendations will shown in the manufacturer’s literature, typically, on their website. For key-locking inserts, standard taps may be used but the drill and tap combination is not standard. A slightly larger drill size must be used so that the keys of the insert can be driven into the parent material.
    • Why use a wire thread insert instead of a key-locking insert?
      Cost is a major factor. Additionally, using a wire thread insert allows for a thread to be repaired maintaining the integrity of the original assembly, meaning that no major additional material is removed from the parent material. When using a key-locking insert, additional material must be drilled out of the parent material to allow for the external threads of the key-locking insert’s outer wall. In cases where space is critical, only a wire insert can be used.
