The insert presses into a round, pre-drilled hole, which is captivated as sheet metal flows around the hexagonal-head. The shaft passes through the insert and the nut. Tightening the nut on the insert's threaded and slotted extension creates a radial force on the shaft, locking it in position without marring its surface.

With a stationary cam mounted on the shaft, tightening the nut locks the shaft with respect to the sheet metal. Loosening the nut allows repositioning the shaft axially, and the cam rotationally.

Applications include adjusting limit stops, or angular or axial position of cylindrical components such as solenoids, tubes, or air cylinders.
