INSERTS FOR PLASTICS

SIŪ threaded inserts from Penn Engineering & Manufacturing Corp. provide strong, durable metal threads in plastics and can serve as an alternative to permanently bonded adhesives or rivets in plastic-assembly applications. These brass, stainless steel or aluminum threaded inserts are ideal for plastic joining applications where frequent disassembly and reassembly of a unit is necessary for service or repair. The line for plastic assemblies includes ultrasonic/heat staking threaded inserts, which are installed ultrasonically or with a thermal press and SI press-in threaded inserts, which are installed by pressing them into pre-drille d holes. All are available in a wide range of unified and metric thread sizes.
