Designed for use in thermoplastics and thermoset plastics. The cutting slots are designed to tap into the base material and lock the insert in place. They resist extreme vibration. The coarse exterior threads anchor the insert firmly and distribute stress evenly in plastics and brittle base materials. This insert is a high-quality, solid metal bushing.
Available in brass only.
Installation Method: Thread Cutting

Speedserts® self-threading inserts form strong threads in softer metals and plastics for a very high pull-out resistance. Their locking action makes them very resistant to vibration.
Available in stainless steel only.
Installation Method: Thread Forming
|
Base Materials: Thermo Plastics
 |
Provide superior pull-out and torque resistance in Thermo plastics, making them a popular choice for molders. The unique exterior barb patterns make it possible to install them into straight or slightly tapered holes using a variety of methods such as push-in, ultrasound or heat.
Standard in Brass.
Installation Method: Push-in, Ultrasound or Heat
