Insert Technology For Plastics, Composites And Metal Alloys

Material: Steel - case hardened zinc plate yellow passivate
Steel - case hardened zinc plate trivalent passivate
Stainless Steel - 1.4305 (Austenitic)

Description: Self-tapping with cutting slot.

Application: This is a self-tapping insert for the creation of wear-free, vibration resistant screw joints with high load capacity in materials with low shearing strength.

Hole Size: Cored and drilled hole diameters vary dependent upon the material. Please consult our technical department for a precise recommendation, to ensure optimum production conditions. Sizes given are for guidance only.

Hole Design: The hole design information is intended to indicate the approximate dimensional requirements for satisfactory installation of the insert. They should not be specified for production tooling without prior consultation with our Application Engineering Department - we accept no responsibility should the use of this information without consultation result in product failure. Please call our application engineers for assistance +44 (0) 1789 206600

Installation: Self-tapping using a hand tool or reversible drive mechanism. Tappex offer pneumatic reversible tools mounted in a Tappex FlexiArm. In certain hard materials, the slotted end of the insert can close down making it unsuitable for through bolting. In this instance a Ensat - 'H' Type is recommended. This insert is suitable for installation into metal alloys, plastics and wood.

MANY VARIATIONS ON ALL OUR STANDARD PARTS, INCLUDING MALE INSERTS, ARE AVAILABLE. IMPERIAL THREAD SIZES USE NEAREST METRIC EQUIVALENT. FOR EXTERNAL DETAIL PLEASE CONTACT US WITH YOUR REQUIREMENTS.
