SS/MS Insert Nut Round Body Large Head refers to a type of threaded fastener used for creating strong, threaded connections in materials such as metal, wood, or plastic. Here are the details about these insert nuts:
Material:
- Stainless Steel (SS): Offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability, suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments.
- Mild Steel (MS): Provides strength and cost-effectiveness, commonly used in indoor applications or where corrosion resistance is not the primary concern.
Design:
- Round Body: The body of the insert nut is typically cylindrical or round in shape.
- Large Head: Features a larger head compared to standard insert nuts, providing increased surface area for better grip and load distribution.
Thread Type:
- Internal threads: Insert nuts have internal threads that allow them to be screwed onto a mating bolt, screw, or threaded rod.
Installation:
- Insert nuts are typically installed by pressing or screwing them into a pre-drilled hole in the material.
- Some insert nuts may have flanges or serrations on the body to help grip the material during installation.
Sizes:
- Available in various sizes to accommodate different bolt or screw diameters and material thicknesses.
- Common thread sizes include metric and standard (imperial) measurements.
Applications:
- Used in a wide range of applications where a strong, threaded connection is needed.
- Commonly used in furniture assembly, cabinetry, woodworking, automotive, and industrial applications.
- Suitable for applications where access to both sides of the material is available for installation.
Advantages:
- Provides a strong, threaded connection in materials where it may not be feasible to create threads directly.
- Large head provides increased surface area for better grip and load distribution.
- Versatile and can be used with various materials such as wood, plastic, and metal.
Limitations:
- Requires a pre-drilled hole for installation, which may add to the complexity of the assembly process.
- Installation may require access to both sides of the material, depending on the type of insert nut and the application.
