Ultrasonic – installed by pressing the insert into the mounting hole with ultrasonic insertion equipment whilst simultaneously applying a high frequency vibration. Frictional heat created by the vibration melts the plastic surrounding the insert allowing easy insertion. When the vibration ceases the plastic solidifies locking the insert into place.
Heat staking – installed by pressing the insert into the mounting hole with a thermal press to melt the plastic surrounding the insert.
Tapered thru-threaded inserts designed for use in tapered holes which allows for rapid and accurate alignment prior to installation. Thread sizes #0 to 3/8" and M2.5 to M8. This range is available in brass, stainless steel and aluminium.
Straight wall, thru-threaded inserts designed for use in straight holes. Self-aligning lead-in provides for accurate alignment prior to installation. Thread sizes #2 to 3/8" and M2 to M6. This range is available in brass and stainless steel.
Symmetrical, thru-threaded inserts designed for use in straight or tapered holes. Symmetrical design eliminates the need for orientation. Thread sizes #2 to 1/4" and M3 to M6. This range is available in brass and stainless steel.
