Slotted-free wood insert – high-performance threaded inserts for industrial B2B applications

Product description and technical characteristics

The slotted-free thin-walled wood insert (screw-in insert) is a self-forming metal threaded insert made of zinc-plated steel, featuring a metric internal thread from M5 to M10 and an external wood thread profile designed for direct installation into a pre-drilled hole in wood or soft plastics. This solution creates a strong, wear-resistant and reusable threaded connection in low-density materials. Thanks to the symmetrical internal chamfer on both sides, orientation is non-critical, making the insert particularly suitable for automated and serial assembly processes.

Description

Detailed technical specifications

• Type: thin-walled wood insert without slot, with full-length internal metric thread.
• Internal thread sizes: M5, M6, M8, M10.
• Material: zinc-plated carbon steel, suitable for standard indoor industrial environments.
• External thread: coarse wood profile for high pull-out resistance and stable anchoring.
• Installation tools: manual insertion tool 610 or mechanical insertion tool 620 for controlled and axial installation.
• Application materials: solid wood, plywood, MDF, chipboard and soft thermoplastics.

Key advantages for B2B industrial users

• High mechanical strength and durability in materials with limited load-bearing capacity.
• Fast and repeatable installation, ideal for automated production lines.
• Reusable threaded connection, allowing multiple assembly and disassembly cycles without degradation.
• Standard metric compatibility, simplifying sourcing, inventory and assembly processes.

Typical industrial applications

• Professional furniture manufacturing and interior construction.
• Wood-based panels and composite materials requiring reliable metric fastening points.
• OEM assemblies and modular systems with frequent maintenance or part replacement.
• Industrial equipment and housings combining wood or plastic components with metal fasteners.

Installation guidelines and best practices

Accurately pre-drill the hole according to the specified outer diameter of the insert. Use the recommended insertion tool to screw the insert straight into the material until it is flush with the surface. Correct installation ensures maximum pull-out strength, alignment and long-term performance of the threaded connection.
