Free Running Insert: 1/2-13, 0.75" OAL MPN:R1185-8

The Free Running Insert is a threaded insert specifically designed for blind holes or non-captive applications preventing loosening while providing excellent torque transfer between mating threads, making it ideal for use in various materials including metals or plastics. This insert requires no tools for installation or removal, and its small diameter allows for tight fits into thin walls allowing design flexibility. Manufactured from stainless steel, this insert provides excellent corrosion resistance suitable for marine, food processing, or chemical industries. Additionally, the Free Running Insert provides easy insertion into the component and is an ideal option when mated threads on both sides are not possible offering better options than traditional screws or nails in applications like doors or hatches ensuring reliability and durability while simplifying installation time for end-users. The industries benefiting from Free Running Insert include automotive, aerospace, medical device manufacturing, hardware components, door locks or latches, among others reducing downtime by preventing damage, loosening or loss of fasteners during operation while improving product performance and longevity.
