M12-M16 Stainless Steel Key Locking Threaded Insert with a 16mm Depth

At Metrol Motion Control, we know how vital strong threaded inserts are to designers and engineers to create strong connection points between two panels, especially if those panels are made of more ductile metals or softer materials. Not every thread size will be appropriate to the application needs, which is why we have a broad selection of specifications, including this M12-M16 size one with a 16mm depth.

Heavy-Duty M12-M16 Key-Locking Threaded Inserts for Ductile Materials

When working with softer materials such as certain plastics or ductile metals like aluminium and magnesium, you need one of these inserts to create a strong enough connection point between panels. Not every specification is the same, so you must consider the right one for your application. 

For larger applications subjected to significant vibrations, we recommend this specification with its M12 internal threaded insert and the external M16 threaded inserts, and you have a powerful connection point that is guaranteed to hold your panel securely with an appropriately sized screw.

M12-M16 Stainless Steel Key-Locking Thread Installation Guide

When your key-locking threaded inserts have arrived, the best way to install them is to do the following:

• Drill: A hole is drilled into the base material to a specified diameter.
• Tap: The hole is then tapped with a specific tap to create internal threads that match the external threads of the insert.
• Insert: The threaded insert is screwed into the tapped hole.
• Lock: The keys or tangs are driven into the surrounding material, securing the insert in place.

Additionally, we offer an M12 installation tool with your order at an extra cost to make installation straightforward; make sure to add them to your order using the form on the right.
