Do you think this implementation solution of Keenserts is possible?

Question :

We want to install a threaded insert KNHM16x2, but we have a thickness of 18 mm while the insert is 22 mm high.

Do you think this implementation solution is possible?

It is a repair application.

We want to know if it is possible to install the keenserts KNHM16x2.0 on a panel of 18mm.

The height of KNHM16 is 22mm…

Reply:

This depends on the application, the required forces, the parent material, the screw and its preload etc.

An engineer with all the needed information should calculate it.

In general a reduced height of the parent material weakens the fastener connection and its ability to handle forces.
