Free Running Insert: M12 x 1.75, 24 mm OAL MPN:TL15124

The free-running insert is a type of threaded insert with unique design elements that make it ideal for use where no fastening or tapping is desired on the inside diameter (ID) end of the hole. With an overall length of 0.24 inches, this M12 x 1.75 size free running insert enables easy installation within plastic materials, wood or thin metal to keep parts together using a simple pressed-in or driven approach without compromising material integrity or reducing holding power once assembled. Its internal tapered relief angle ensures no damage will occur during insertion and prevents over insertion by allowing the insert to reach its minimum depth effortlessly with less force needed while grip increases on withdrawal, preventing backing out or loosening. Manufactured from steel alloy which is suitable for many materials such as thermoplastics including polypropylene, ABS and PVC ensuring compatibility when joining materials of varying hardnesses or substrates to provide uniform clamping force uniformly throughout assemblies even if one side becomes loose due to temperature expansion or stress without risking demise of joints. With its resistance to wear & abrasion, chemicals, impact and corrosion- this threaded insert is widely employed across multiple industries such as automotive aftermarket, appliance manufacturing, plumbing fixtures, among many others wherever assemblies need to remain tight under harsh environments.
