Molded-in inserts for plastic (FLOW-SERT)

The S10 are self-tapping thread forming inserts to be installed into cylindrical holes Best suited for ductile, softer thermoplastics or thermosets They provide the best pull-out resistance for a post-mold installed inserts Very easy installation, also using a simple screwdriver Symmetrical shape, they do not need to be oriented during installation process, thus can also be easily used in automatic systems Inch versions from 4-40 to 1/4-20 also are available on request

The S14 (Short version) are inserts for plastic with heat/ultrasonic installation into tapered holes with an 8° angle In the short version these inserts offer the advantage of having reduced dimensions, shorter installation times and lower costs. On the other hand, the resistance to torque and pull out loads is reduced comparing to long version Suitable for all types of thermoplastics, even dry and fragile ones such as polycarbonates The tapered form facilitates proper seating and maximizes the surface contact between the insert and hole wall prior to the application of heat or ultrasonic vibration. These inserts are the best choice when using ultrasonic insertion techniques The insert's straight-toothed upper ring and oblique-toothed middle ring provide high torque and pull out resistance, ensuring complete filling of the plastic material in the cavities below Installation must be carried out using heat conduction or ultrasonic machines.

The PRESS-SERT are press-in expansion inserts to be installed into cylindrical holes Suitable for applications in thermoplastic materials The combination of flat and knurled areas ensure high torque and pull out performance normally achievable only with inserts that are installed by a hot/ultrasonic process These inserts are installed by simple pressure, without need for special equipment Also known as PRESS-LOK, with equivalent shape, features and dimensions

The HEAT-SERT are inserts for plastic with heat/ultrasonic installation into cylindrical holes Suitable for all types of thermoplastics Designed for installation in notch-sensitive amorphous thermoplastic materials. The rounded knurling reduces stress on the contact surface while avoiding stress on the material in which it is inserted Installation must be carried out using heat conduction or ultrasonic machines. The holes should be sized as indicated in the product datasheet They are available in unheaded and headed (flanged) versions. Headed (flanged) version provides bearing surface for the mating component to prevent jack-out. Also a screw can be inserted on the opposite side of the flange, allowing to achieve very high pull-out resistance. It also ensures a large contact area, which is useful for electrical contacts and specific applications Unheaded inserts in addition are symmetrical so they do not need to be oriented during installation process
