Symmetrical Insert
For Thermoplastics
This insert utilises a combination of opposed knurles and vanes to provide substantially increased performance levels, even over our ultrasoninc insert.
This is a fully symmetrical insert so eliminating orientation worries during installation.
The design of this insert allows for reduced wall thicknesses facilitating placement close to the edge of the component.
To achieve the best possible performance we recommend installation into a pre-moulded hole with a 5° taper (the hole diameter specified should be met at the point reached by the bottom of the insert).
This insert has been designed for installation using a pre-heating process and care must be taken to ensure that the insert softens, but does not melt the plastic.
