Threaded Inserts > Specifications > Tap-Lok® Coarse Series
Tap-Lok® Coarse Series - Key Features:
|
Coarse external-thread series, brass inserts are designed specifically for use in plastics.
- Highest pull-out resistance for plastics.
- Coarse external threads avoid stress cracking in base material.
- Self-tapping and self-locking.
- Suitable for thermosetplastics and thermoplastics.
- Superior vibration resistance.
- One-step installation.
The widely spaced threads reduce installation torque and provide strong threads for superior pull-out resistance even in brittle plastics.
Cutting slots are self-tapping and self-locking for quick, easy installation and excellent resistance to vibration.
High-quality internal threads are wear resistant. Unified and American Standard, class 2B, or ISO Metric standard, class 6H threads.
This threaded insert is standard as a solid brass bushing. For plastics containing highly abrasive fillers, we recommend regular slotted case-hardened steel inserts.
