Thermoplastic materials remain solid at usable temperatures, but become soft at elevated temperature. Due to their resilient nature, thermoplastics respond well to ultrasonic and thermal installation in addition to molded-in and pressed-in methods.
A simple, inexpensive method for installing metal inserts permanently in thermoplastic. Ideal for prototype and low volume production. Permits accurate control of temperature to prevent damage to plastic. Provides a strong, permanent installation of inserts with high resistance to rotation and pull-out.
TYPE AA Molded-In Inserts feature a new design for molded-in use. Close tolerance of minor thread diameter and careful burnishing of inner thread crests assure snug fit on locating pins. Smooth ring on open end of insert eliminates knurl teeth showing on surface of molded part.
TYPE BB Molded-In Inserts feature a new design for molded-in use. Close tolerance of minor thread diameter and careful burnishing of inner thread crests assure snug fit on locating pins. Both ends of insert are chamfered to eliminate knurl teeth showing on surface of molded part.
For use in thermoplastic materials such as ABS and polycarbonates. Intro-Serts have no sharp edges on their outer annular ribs to cause residual stress cracking. Install them fast and easily with ultrasonic or thermal insertion tools. Available in Brass, Aluminum and Stainless Steel.
Versatile, economical and trouble free, they offer easy, high-speed installation. Curved hooks and lateral flutes lock them into plastics, particle board and wood. Install with ultrasonic or thermal tools or just hammer or press them in. Available in Brass.
A wide range of threaded inserts featuring patented designs for molded-in use. Close tolerance of minor thread diameter and careful burnishing of inner thread crests assure snug fit on pins. Extremely flat ends on inserts (with no burrs, ridges or other defects) mean no leakage of material on the face of the mold. Available in Brass, Aluminum and Stainless Steel.
Spiral knurled, open or closed-ended inserts for pressing into soft materials such as plastics, foamed plastics and rubber. Ideal for use where minimal pull-out strength is needed, but some torque resistance is required. Can also be molded-in and feature patented I.D. design for use with locating pins. Available in Brass and Aluminum.
Threaded stud inserts featuring patented designs for molded-in use. Proportioned for maximum holding strength. Can be screwed to butt flush with a Yardley Type C Insert. Available in Brass.
For strong threads in plastics, soft metals and wood. Self-tapping, they provide high torque and pull-out resistance. Install with Yardley pneumatic inserter or insert driver. Available in Brass, Plated Steel and Stainless Steel (Coarse Series in Brass Only).
Economical design features a lead on both ends making this insert ideal for high volume, automated production. Unique radial barbs provide strong resistance to pull-out and rotation in plastics and thermoplastics. Can be molded-in or installed with ultrasonic or thermal insertion tools. Available in Brass.
