Inner hexagon Rampa insert type SKZ
Rampa wood screw-insert, type SKZ with inner-hexagon drive, unthreaded lead to facilitate mounting. Made out of die casting, so cheaper but softer.
Description
Rampa wood screw-insert type SKZ is only available in die cast and can be mounted without special tooling in softer wood.
Thanks to the unthreaded lead, the insert will fall into position before starting to screw, what ensures mounting in the rigth angle (that follows the drilled hole).
(Zamak is a family of alloys with a base metal of zinc and alloying elements of aluminium, magnesium, and copper.)
Frequently asked questions about Inner hexagon Rampa insert type SKZ
What should I take into account when using an internal hex screw-in insert?
Be aware that the inner hexagon, although very practical for installation, does reduce the effective length of the internal thread. With short types or inserts made of zamak, this may result in a less wear-resistant or less strong metal threaded connection.
In which materials can I use Rampa inserts?
Primarily wood (solid, plywood, particle board, MDF), plastics (ABS, PA, POM, composites), and light metals when the insert with the right geometry is choosen accordingly.
