The TSN® threaded insert is a low profile, plain bodied, bubbling insert in aluminum or steel construction offered in a wide variety of standard and metric thread sizes. Bubbling means that during the installation process, the insert collapses into a bubble shape on the backside of the application material. The application material is clamped between the flange of the insert and the bubble shape resulting in high resistance to pull-out loads. Because the insert forms a bubble on the backside of the application, the TSN® insert cannot be used in blind hole applications. The bubble also serves as a load bearing surface, which absorbs the force of setting the insert. Otherwise the setting force, or clamp load, could spread into the application material and might damage the material. This makes the TSN® insert ideal for use in thin sheet, soft, brittle and low strength materials. The low profile flange of the TSN® insert results in near flush installation and clamp up making it ideal for flush fitting, thin sheet and low load bearing applications.
- Can be used in very thin sheet materials from 0.50mm (0.02")
- Various platings available to increase the corrosion resistance
- Can be used with hand tools, pneumatic tools and fully automated machines to suit a wide range of assembly methods
- Access needed from only one side of the application, for high speed assembly
- Low profile head allows near flush fit to application
