Flanged Threaded Inserts: Definition and Key Features<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What Are Flanged Threaded Inserts?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Flanged Threaded Inserts are specialized threaded fasteners featuring an integrated flange (a flat, circular base) that provides\u00a0enhanced load distribution<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0improved pull-out resistance<\/strong>. They are designed to create\u00a0durable, high-strength threads<\/strong>\u00a0in soft or thin materials (e.g., aluminum, plastic, or sheet metal) where standard threading would fail. The flange acts as a\u00a0bearing surface<\/strong>, preventing the insert from being pulled through the host material under tension.<\/p>\n

              Excellent Case: Electric Vehicle (EV) Battery Housing Assembly<\/strong><\/h3>\n

              Challenge<\/strong><\/h4>\n

              An EV manufacturer needed a\u00a0high-strength, vibration-resistant<\/strong>\u00a0solution to secure\u00a0battery module housings<\/strong>\u00a0made of\u00a0thin aluminum sheets<\/strong>. Standard screws were stripping threads due to\u00a0thermal cycling<\/strong>\u00a0and road vibrations, risking electrical failures.<\/p>\n

              Solution<\/strong><\/h4>\n
                \n
              • \n

                Flanged Threaded Inserts (Stainless Steel 316, M8, Hex Flange)<\/strong>\u00a0were installed into the\u00a0aluminum battery trays<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                  \n
                1. \n

                  Precision holes<\/strong>\u00a0were punched in the aluminum sheets.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                2. \n

                  Inserts were\u00a0press-fit and swaged<\/strong>, with the flange distributing load across the sheet.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                3. \n

                  Torque-resistant bolts<\/strong>\u00a0secured the battery modules, with\u00a0thread-locking adhesive<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  Results<\/strong><\/h4>\n

                  \u2714\u00a0Zero Thread Stripping<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Withstood\u00a010,000+ thermal cycles<\/strong>\u00a0(-30\u00b0C to 85\u00b0C).
                  \n\u2714\u00a030% Faster Assembly<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Hex flanges allowed\u00a0tool-free anti-rotation<\/strong>\u00a0during bolt tightening.
