Threaded Insert Torque

Traditional material dial tables, manufactured from either aluminum or steel, have tooling attachment holes drilled and tapped into the dial surface. Of particular interest is the pull out performance of threaded inserts in the carbon dial table compared to drilled and tapped holes in traditional dial tables.   Tooling attachment is usually accomplished using steel […]

Threaded Insert Pullout

Pull out comparison analysis of inserts compared with aluminum Mic6, aluminum 6061-T6 and A36 steel. Insert pull out was determined using a shear strength allowable of 2,000 psi (Epoxy adhesive). To show comparison, a factor of safety was calculated comparing each material pull out strength with the strength derived for insert pull out. A factor […]
