In construction and manufacturing, threaded inserts are frequently used to add friction to a mounting hole so that a fastener will be less likely to loosen. Also known as threaded bushing, inserts can be pushed into a smooth hole to add internal threading designed to support a threaded fastener. These components come in a number of different types that adapt them to different surfaces and usages. In this blog, we will discuss the different types of threaded inserts and how they may best be used.
