Press-in inserts for plastic (S50, S51)

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 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 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

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
