Press-In Insert for Thermoplastics
This insert has beem designed especially for press-in installation in most thermoplastics.
Utilising a combination of sharp radial fins and straight cut vertical knurls it features a free running thread and easy press-in installation whilst still achieving good torque-out and pull-out performance.
Available in un-headed and headed versions. Studded Versions can also be supplied in a length to suit your application.
For best performance we recommend a pre-moulded hole with a 1° taper (the hole diameter specified should be met at the point reached by the bottom of the insert).
It is important that this insert is installed by a steady squeezing action to allow the plastic to flow over the radial fins. A hammer blow style of installation would result in poor pull-out performance and could possibly damage the insert.
