M2 Insert Manufacturers, Suppliers and Exporters in Brazil

An M2 insert is a small, threaded component designed to provide a durable metal thread in materials that may otherwise strip or wear easily, such as plastic, wood, or soft metals. The “M2” designation refers to the metric thread size, where M2 indicates a nominal thread diameter of 2mm.
Types of M2 Inserts:
Heat-Set Inserts:
- Designed for thermoplastics, these inserts are heated and pressed into pre-drilled holes. When cooled, the surrounding plastic solidifies, providing a strong hold.
Self-Tapping Inserts:
- These inserts are screwed into soft materials like wood or plastics, with their own cutting threads allowing them to form threads in the material.
Press-Fit Inserts:
- These inserts are pressed into place, usually into softer materials, and rely on friction from a knurled or grooved exterior to stay in place.
Ultrasonic Inserts:
- Installed using ultrasonic vibrations, causing localized heating and melting in thermoplastics, securing the insert tightly.
Threaded Inserts for Metals:
- Often used in sheet metal or softer metals, these inserts are installed to reinforce threads or to provide threads where it’s too thin for normal threading.
