Blind threaded inserts

Automotive Industries, Dec, 2004

Atlas SpinTite blind threaded inserts are designed for use in "blind" attachment applications, where only one side of a workpiece is accessible for fastener installation and final component assembly. These aluminum, brass, steel and stainless-steel threaded inserts can serve as practical alternatives to tapped holes, weld nuts, rivets and self-drilling or tapping screws. Installed from the accessible "front" side of a workpiece, Atlas SpinTite blind threaded inserts can be utilized in panels as thin as .020"/0.51 mm. Atlas SpinTite inserts are designed to satisfy most "blind" applications where permanently installed threads are required. Types include half-hex shank low-profile head, rib-wall minimized-profile head, rib-wall low-profile head, thin-wall low-profile head, and swaging low-profile head. Available unified and metric thread sizes range from #6-32 to 1/2"-16 and M4 through M10. PennEngineering Fastening Technologies, Tele: (800) 237-4736 or www.pennfast.com.
