CNC Machined Carbon Fiber Parts with Pre-Installed Stainless Steel Press-Fit Nuts
For carbon fiber components that require screws, brackets, or repeated assembly, we provide custom CNC carbon fiber parts with stainless steel press-fit nuts installed before shipment.
Instead of receiving machined carbon fiber plates and installing threaded inserts by yourself, you can provide your drawing, nut specifications, installation positions, and assembly requirements. We can complete CNC machining and press-fit nut installation as one manufacturing process.
This service is suitable for RC carbon fiber frames, FPV components, UAV mounting plates, gimbal brackets, and other lightweight composite structures that require reliable threaded connection points.
By preparing the carbon fiber parts with pre-installed inserts, customers can reduce additional assembly work, avoid manual installation risks, and receive components closer to final assembly.
RC vehicles often require lightweight structures with multiple fastening points.
Press-fit nuts can be installed into:
l RC chassis plates
l Top decks
l Shock towers
l Mounting plates
l Structural brackets
This allows repeated assembly without repeatedly damaging the carbon fiber structure.
Carbon fiber components used in FPV and UAV applications often require secure mounting points for:
l Flight controllers
l Battery mounts
l Camera systems
l Electronic components
l Accessories
For larger UAV structures or parts exposed to vibration, additional retention methods can be considered during insert installation.
For gimbal systems and other precision equipment, carbon fiber parts often need both lightweight performance and reliable fastening.
We can manufacture custom carbon fiber mounting components according to customer drawings and install stainless steel press-fit nuts at specified locations.
Carbon fiber itself is lightweight and strong, but repeated screw installation directly into composite material may not always provide the best long-term solution.
Stainless steel press-fit nuts provide a dedicated metal thread connection point for screws.
For products requiring maintenance, adjustment, or replacement of components, press-fit nuts allow repeated installation without damaging the carbon fiber structure.
Instead of installing inserts manually after receiving CNC carbon fiber parts, customers can receive components closer to final assembly.
This reduces additional processing, saves assembly time, and lowers the risk of installation damage.
Rivet press nuts are available in different sizes, such as M2, M2.5, M3, M4, and M5.
Different nut sizes require different hole diameters in carbon fiber parts.
Before machining, we confirm the insert specification and prepare the correct hole size according to the nut requirements.
The following table shows common press-fit nut sizes and recommended hole diameters:
For custom projects, customers can provide:
l Press-fit nut model or specification
l CAD drawing
l Installation locations
l Assembly requirements
Our engineering team will review the requirements before production.
Press-fit nuts provide a practical solution for adding threaded connection points to carbon fiber components.
However, for some applications with high vibration, repeated assembly, or heavier loads, relying only on mechanical interference between the insert and carbon fiber may not always be enough.
For example, some large UAV structural parts operate under continuous vibration and changing loads. In these applications, we can apply additional bonding treatment around the press-fit nut during installation to improve insert retention and reduce the risk of loosening during use.
Our installation process can include:
l Proper hole preparation according to insert specifications
l Controlled pressing force during installation
l Adhesive assistance around the insert when required
l Position checking after installation
This approach helps improve connection reliability for demanding carbon fiber applications.
Before production, we confirm:
l Carbon fiber part dimensions
l Insert specifications
l Hole positions
l Assembly requirements
l Surface requirements
We manufacture custom carbon fiber components according to customer drawings.
Available machining processes include:
l CNC cutting
l Drilling
l Slot machining
l Countersunk holes
l Edge finishing like chamfering
The stainless steel press nuts are installed according to the specified locations.
During installation, important factors include:
l Proper hole preparation
l Controlled pressing force
l Press the nuts into place
l Surface protection
For applications requiring improved retention, adhesive assistance can be applied around the insert before installation.
For carbon fiber parts with installed press-fit nuts, we focus on details that directly affect customer assembly.
Inspection includes:
l Insert installation position
l Hole accuracy
l Surface condition
l Edge quality
The goal is to ensure the carbon fiber parts arrive ready for the next manufacturing step.
We provide custom carbon fiber manufacturing based on customer drawings, including CNC machining, surface finishing, and insert installation.
Available materials include:
l Toray T300 carbon fiber
l Toray T700 carbon fiber
l Colored carbon fiber

l Assembly support
Yes. We can install stainless steel press nuts into custom CNC carbon fiber parts according to customer drawings and assembly requirements.
For standard applications, correct hole preparation and installation control provide reliable retention.
For applications involving vibration, heavier structures, or repeated loading, adhesive assistance around the insert can be applied to improve retention.
No.
Customers can provide the insert model and specification. We can review the required machining dimensions before production.
No.
Proper hole preparation and controlled installation methods are important. We will reserve the appropriate hole diameter according to the size of the pressing nut before production.
