Brass Heat Set Inserts for Plastic Materials
The 40/CM Brass Flat Head Insert is designed to create strong, durable metal threads in plastic components. Manufactured from high-quality brass, these threaded inserts are specifically engineered for use with thermoplastic materials, providing a reliable and reusable fastening solution for repeated assembly and disassembly.
Featuring a flat head design, these inserts provide a positive stop during installation while helping to distribute loads across the plastic component. Once installed, the insert allows two products to be securely fastened together using a standard male threaded screw or bolt, creating a strong and dependable threaded connection.
Unlike glued or press-fit alternatives, heat-set and ultrasonic installation methods create a secure mechanical bond within the plastic, delivering superior pull-out resistance and long-term durability.
Ideal for Thermoplastic and Injection Moulded Components
The 40/CM insert is designed for installation using thermal or ultrasonic insertion processes. Simply pre-drill the plastic component to the required dimensions and install the insert using the appropriate equipment. As the plastic softens during installation, it flows around the insert, creating a secure fixing without causing stress fractures or weakening the surrounding material.
This provides a stronger and more durable solution than traditional gluing or press-fitting methods.
