Custom Brass Threaded Inserts for Plastics & Composites
Product Description
Yile Machinery is a leading OEM manufacturer specializing in the production of custom brass threaded inserts. These high-precision components are designed to be embedded into plastic parts (via injection molding, heat-staking, or ultrasonic insertion) to provide a strong, durable, and reusable metal thread.
As your manufacturing partner, we work directly from your technical drawings to produce non-standard and large-diameter insert nuts that meet your exact application requirements.
Why Choose Yile Machinery for Your Custom Inserts?
Fully Customized to Your Drawing: We are not a stockist. Every insert we produce is made-to-order according to your unique design, dimensions, and tolerances.
Precision CNC Machining: We utilize advanced CNC turning and automated machining to ensure high precision, excellent concentricity, and consistent quality across your entire production run.
Wide Range of Sizes & Features: From micro-inserts for electronics (M1.6, M2) to large, heavy-duty inserts for industrial equipment, we have the capability to manufacture a vast range of sizes.
Direct-from-Manufacturer Value: By working directly with us, you eliminate distributor markups and get expert engineering support from the team that is actually making your parts.
Common Insert Types & Installation Methods
We manufacture brass inserts suitable for all standard installation processes:
Heat-Set / Ultrasonic Inserts: Designed with specific external knurling and grooves that allow them to be installed into a pre-drilled or molded hole using heat or ultrasonic vibrations. The plastic melts and flows around the insert, creating a very strong bond.
Mold-In Inserts: These inserts are designed to be placed directly into the injection mold cavity before the plastic is injected. This creates the strongest possible assembly as the plastic forms perfectly around the insert.
Press-In Inserts: Typically used for softer plastics or thermoset materials, these inserts are simply pressed into a hole, using specialized knurls to grip the host material.
Key Features & Customization Options
We can customize every aspect of your threaded insert:
Material: High-quality free-machining brass (e.g., C36000 / H59) for excellent machinability and corrosion resistance. Other materials like stainless steel and aluminum are available on request.
Knurling Patterns:
Diamond Knurl: Provides high resistance to both torque (rotational) and pull-out forces.
Straight Knurl: Offers excellent torque resistance.
Helical / Unidirectional Knurl: Optimized for specific installation methods.
Thread Types: We can produce internal threads in all standard metric (M2, M3, M4, etc.) and unified (UNC/UNF, e.g., 4-40, 10-32) sizes.
Features: Blind threads (closed bottom), through-threads, pilot ends, and custom head shapes.
Industries & Applications
Our custom threaded inserts are used by leading manufacturers in:
Electronics: Securing circuit boards and housings.
Automotive: Interior trim, sensor mounts, electronic modules.
Medical Devices: Equipment housings and disposable components.
Consumer Goods: Appliances, power tools, sporting equipment.
Telecommunications: Enclosures and connectors.
