Installation
Info
Post moulded inserts can offer significant benefits over mould-in inserts such as a reduction of in place cost, no secondary operation to clean flash residue from threads, fewer rejects due to dislodged inserts and ease of installation. Press Stud Inserts for brittle thermosetting plastics are available in a range of thread sizes and lengths in headed and non-headed variants, are manufactured from brass and stainless steel and are suitable for installation in hard thermosetting plastics by simply pressing in to a pre-prepared hole. The three helical knurl bands cut into the hole wall to lock the insert in place. This insert rotates as it is installed, so a polished punch face is recommended.
