Stainless Steel Wire Thread Inserts DIN8140
Product Overview
Stainless Steel Wire Thread Inserts DIN8140 are high-performance threaded fasteners used to provide strong internal threads in materials with low shear strength such as aluminum, magnesium, and thermoplastics. These helically coiled inserts are specifically designed to meet DIN8140 standard requirements, ensuring reliable performance even in demanding industrial applications. Their stainless steel construction offers excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and longevity even under continuous load or harsh environmental exposure.
Wire thread inserts are widely used in industries that require robust and long-lasting threaded connections, while also minimizing thread wear and protecting the base material.

Material and Manufacturing Process
Stainless Steel Wire Thread Inserts are typically manufactured using AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel wire. 304 stainless steel is widely used due to its excellent corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness, while 316 offers superior resistance to marine and chemical environments.
The production process for these inserts includes:
- Raw Material Selection (304/316 wire)
- Forming (Helical Winding and Cutting)
- Heat Treatment (If required)
- Surface Passivation or Lubrication
- 100% Inspection
- Packaging
These processes ensure consistent part geometry, strength, and surface finish suitable for automatic installation as well.
Common Applications Across Industries
Stainless Steel Wire Thread Inserts DIN8140 are utilized in diverse industrial sectors such as:
- Aerospace & Aviation: Aircraft engine components, aluminum castings
- Automotive: Transmission assemblies, engine housings
- Electronics: Printed circuit boards, sensor housings
- Marine: Pumps, valves in aggressive saltwater environments
- Machinery Manufacturing: Molds, jigs, and fixtures
These inserts are particularly valuable in repair and maintenance applications for restoring stripped threads.
Precision and Performance: Wire Thread Inserts for Enhanced Fastening
Precision-engineered wire thread inserts offer several critical benefits in challenging environments. The use of stainless steel ensures high tensile strength and outstanding corrosion resistance. Their spring-like construction allows them to compress and expand inside a tapped hole, creating perfect load distribution and minimizing thread loosening under vibration or thermal cycling.

Selection & Procurement Guide
When choosing Stainless Steel Wire Thread Inserts DIN8140, consider the following factors:
- Thread size and pitch (based on mating bolt)
- Insert length (usually matched to material thickness)
- Free-running versus locking inserts (locking types prevent screw loosening)
- Environment (304 for general use, 316 for corrosive settings)
- Volume requirements (bulk vs. small orders)
- Installation tools required (available on request)
Flybear Fastener offers technical guidance and datasheets to assist in correct product selection.
