Gewindesättel

Gewindesättel, often translated as thread saddles or thread nuts, are specialized fasteners used to create a secure mounting point for components that require a threaded connection on a curved or non-planar surface. Unlike standard nuts or threaded inserts that are designed for flat surfaces, Gewindesättel incorporate a curved or contoured base that conforms to the shape of the material they are attached to, such as pipes, tubes, or cylindrical objects. This contouring ensures even pressure distribution and prevents damage to the underlying material.

The primary function of a Gewindesattel is to provide a robust and reliable threaded receptacle where a traditional flat-surface fastener would be impractical or impossible to install. They are typically manufactured from metal, such as steel or stainless steel, to withstand significant tensile and shear forces. The internal threads within the Gewindesattel are designed to mate with a corresponding bolt or screw, creating a strong mechanical connection.

Gewindesättel find application in a variety of industries, including plumbing, automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery. They are commonly used for attaching brackets, clamps, or other accessories to pipes and tubing without the need for welding or drilling into the pipe itself. This method preserves the structural integrity of the pipe and simplifies the assembly process. The selection of a Gewindesattel depends on factors such as the diameter and material of the object to be fastened, the required thread size, and the environmental conditions.
