<Free Offer> Supporting Weight Reduction. "Basic Knowledge of Insert Nuts" for Supporting Resin Products.

The trend towards lightweight materials is leading to the use of resins. We will clearly explain the basics of "insert nuts" needed for fastening resins, accompanied by illustrations!

An insert nut is a "fastening component" that is embedded in soft materials such as resin (plastic) to enhance the fastening strength of joints. With the aim of reducing weight, the use of resin is increasing. Insert nuts are used for fastening resin parts in various devices such as mobile phones, automobiles, and airplanes. This document provides a clear explanation of the "basic knowledge of insert nuts," including their features, types, usage, and materials, accompanied by illustrations. It also includes information on the types and characteristics of resins used with insert nuts. *For more details, please download the document or contact us directly.*

A high-torque compatible embedded bolt for resin that is strong against rotation and withdrawal, and does not damage the resin. It allows for nut tightening when embedded in resin parts.

The "SSOO Bolt" is a resin embedded bolt (insert bolt) with a special octagonal head shape, offering excellent torque resistance and pull-out strength. An insert bolt is a bolt that is embedded in resin and fastened with a nut. By tightening with a nut, it allows for the fastening of resin parts to each other or resin parts to metal. It minimizes deformation and cam-out of the resin when fastened with high torque, enabling nut tightening at high torque levels. It can also be used for back embedding (thermal press fitting), making it suitable for shapes that cannot be integrally molded. Since the bolt can be used in an upright position within the resin, it improves the assembly of parts. The product design has been completely revamped, and sizes from M4 to M8 are now available. 【Features】 ● Special shape that minimizes cam-out and slip even when tightened with high torque ● Strong against pull-out, preventing deformation of resin parts ● Usable for both insert (simultaneous molding) and outsert (thermal press fitting) ● Mass production possible due to unique manufacturing methods ● Trusted Octa Lobular series *For more details, please refer to the materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

Suppresses deformation of resin products. Special shape that is less likely to slip even under high torque. High pull-out strength also reduces the number of screw components and contributes to weight reduction.

The "SSOO Nut" features fine irregularities on the surface of the shaft to enhance torque resistance performance. It is a heat-pressed insert nut that achieves "difficulty in rotation" and "high pull-out strength." Even when tightened with high torque, it does not slip, preventing damage to resin products. Additionally, its excellent pull-out strength contributes to weight reduction by reducing the number of components. Available sizes include M4, M5, M6, and M8. 【Features】 ■ Shape designed to prevent slipping and rotation, protecting resin products from damage ■ Contributes to weight reduction through the reduction of components and downsizing ■ Torque strength and pull-out strength have been verified through testing ■ Proven track record as an automotive component *You can download PDF materials such as verification test data.

This is a strong insert nut that prevents slippage (co-rotation and idling) caused by bolt tightening and protects resin products from damage.

Insert nuts for resin (plastic) have traditionally utilized knurled, square, and hexagonal shapes, which have raised concerns about the nuts deforming the resin and spinning freely (slipping or idling) when bolts are tightened with high torque. As a result, we received strong requests from customers to develop insert nuts with shapes that can withstand high torque (high torque strength). We conducted research, development, and prototyping in-house and devised an original shape of insert nut that can handle high torque. It is designed for use during resin molding and also boasts excellent tensile strength (pull-out strength). 【Features】 - Strong nuts that prevent spinning (slipping or idling) and protect resin products from damage. - A unique octagonal shape that enables "high torque tightening," which has not been available before. - We have realized a shape that is difficult to spin, as requested by many customers.

Introducing the SSOO nut, which protects resin parts and enables high-torque tightening. We will showcase examples of weight reduction and cost benefits made possible by the SSOO nut!

The SSOO nut is a heat-pressed insert nut (outsert nut) that achieves "difficulty in rotation" and "high pull-out strength." 【High Torque Compatibility】 Due to its special octagonal shape (Octa Lobular), it is resistant to free spinning and co-spinning, protecting resin components and allowing for high torque tightening. 【Difficult to Pull Out】 By providing unevenness on the shaft, pull-out strength is improved. It also has high vibration resistance, enabling a reduction in the number of components and weight savings. 【Cost】 Using a widely available material (SWCH10R), there is no need to worry about fluctuations in material costs. High-speed production through forging and rolling allows for cost-effective mass production. 【Usage Method】 Since it can be back-filled through heat pressing, it is easy to handle. This document provides detailed information about the features, specifications, and examples of the SSOO nut. If you are considering the use of insert nuts for resin, please take a look.
