About Threaded Inserts for Sheet Metal

Thin sheet metal can't hold a usable tapped thread. Threaded inserts for sheet metal give a strong, load-bearing thread in thin panels and tube, and many types fit from one side only. That makes them ideal for enclosures, frames and box sections where you simply can't get behind the panel. Setting tools such as the RIV916 keep installation quick and consistent on the shop floor.

Fasteners for the Rail Industry

Rail vehicles and infrastructure use composite and sheet metal panels in interiors, enclosures and equipment housings. Threaded inserts and self clinching fasteners give dependable fixing points that stand up to constant vibration and long service liv

Choosing the Right Threaded Inserts for Sheet Metal

Sheet thickness, hole size, material and the load on the fixing all decide which insert to use. Harrison Silverdale can advise on insert type, grip range and tooling so every fixing sets correctly.
