Lock, Resist, Endure: Why Engineers Rely on Patch Inserts
What is a Patch Insert?
A patch insert is a specially designed mechanical fastener featuring a pre-applied locking compound on its threads.
It effectively prevents screw loosening caused by vibration or dynamic loads, enhancing the stability and safety of assembled components.
Patch inserts are widely used in industries like automotive, aerospace, construction, and electronics.
Advantages of Patch Inserts
Outstanding Anti-Loosening Performance – The locking compound delivers long-lasting holding power, preventing screws from loosening under vibration.
Improved Connection Strength – Enhances thread engagement and extends product life.
High Temperature and Corrosion Resistance – Maintains performance in harsh environments.
Easy Installation – No special tools required—just screw the insert into a tapped hole.
Versatile Applications – Suitable for various materials and industries.
Installation & Removal
Installation
Drill and tap the hole in the workpiece.
Screw in the patch insert.
Ensure it fits tightly and securely.
Removal
Unscrew the insert using standard tools.
Clean the hole and reinstall a new insert if needed.
Application Industries
Automotive – Secures engine and transmission assemblies.
Aerospace – Ensures safety in aircraft and spacecraft structures.
Construction – Reinforces joints in buildings and bridges.
Electronics – Prevents loosening of internal components.
Patch inserts offer excellent locking performance and are essential for industries requiring stable, long-lasting fastener connections.
