DIN 7965 Slotted Threaded Furniture Insert, Steel

The DIN 7965 standard covers the threaded furniture insert: it is designed for installation into wood-based materials to provide secure fastening. It is an essential auxiliary component for strong joints in furniture parts and other products, and it is widely used in manufacturing.

The insert has a straight slot and can be driven in with a regular flat-tip screwdriver. The metal threaded insert has a bore with a ready-cut metric thread for installing screws, bolts and other fasteners of the matching diameter.

Materials

The threaded insert is made of durable materials for reliable fixation in wood, as well as in chipboard, fiberboard and other materials. It is made of carbon steel with various property classes, and the metal may be fitted with a protective zinc coating. This increases its resistance to corrosion on contact with moisture and other damaging environmental effects.

The insert can also be made of A2 and A4 stainless steel. Such fasteners are used if the assembly will be in constant contact with moisture or other media damaging to metal. Thanks to its alloying elements, stainless steel does not corrode and can last a long time. It is not affected by moisture or acidic environments.

Technical specifications of the threaded insert:

• The thread diameter in the bore can range from M3 to M10, which allows installing various types of fasteners.
• The overall diameter of the threaded insert can range from 6 to 18.5 mm. It should be noted that the insert must be driven into a hole of smaller diameter to ensure a secure grip of the thread in the wood.
• The thread pitch in the bore can range from 0.5 to 1.5 mm.
• The length of the insert can range from 8 to 20 mm.

The threaded insert must be correctly matched by dimensions. It is installed into a pre-drilled hole in wood or wood-based materials without a pre-cut thread. Using its special thread, it cuts in and becomes firmly fixed in the material, allowing it to withstand the loads applied by the fastener.

Application options

The main application of such products is furniture manufacturing: they are used for assembling case and upholstered furniture products. They can also be used in installation and finishing work, for example when mounting panels. The insert is installed together with a fastener of the matching diameter, and correct installation ensures long, trouble-free operation of the assembled joint.
