AMESELF Self-tapping Insert: mechanical fasteners without pre-tapping
AMESELF Self-tapping Inserts are metal inserts designed to tap directly into soft materials without the need for pre-tapping.
Unlike conventional Threaded Inserts, the AMESELF is equipped with slots or cutting holes that ensure a clean cut of the thread in the host material during installation.
This system enables quick, robust and reliable installation, particularly in aluminium, engineering plastics or light alloys.
Ideal solution for industrial applications where ease of assembly, mechanical strength and time savings are crucial.
Why choose an AMESELF Self-tapping Insert?
Our AMESELF Self-tapping Insert is designed to create a durable thread in soft or fragile materials such as wood, light alloys, or plastics, and to ensure that the tapping remains resistant to frequent screw assembly and disassembly. Without the need for pre-tapping, the AMESELF insert integrates perfectly into the material.
