Press-in espansion inserts for plastic (PRESS-SERT)

The EXPANSION-SERT are press-in expansion inserts to be installed into cylindrical holes Suitable for applications in thermoset plastics Due to its diamond knurled design, this insert penetrates for a minimum length within the hole walls without decreasing tensile strength. This feature makes it ideal for applications in hard thermoset plastics They are recomended for applications where high resistance values are not required They are installed by simple pressure, without the need for special equipment Headed (flanged) and reverse-headed (reverse flanged) versions are also available. Headed (flanged) version provides bearing surface for the mating component to prevent jack-out. In inverted flange inserts, a screw can be inserted on the opposite side of the flange, offeing very high pull-out resistance Also known as BANC-LOK, with equivalent shape, features and dimensions

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 FLO-SERT are inserts for plastic with installation during plastic molding Suitable for installation in a wide range of thermoplastics and thermosets Blind bottom prevents plastic inflow inside the insert Unique design with three opposite helical knurled bands, combined with hollow parts, provides very high torque and pull out resistance Also known as FLO-TECH, with equivalent shape, features and dimensions
