Fasteners for plastics are designed to provide secure and strong connections in plastic materials, which naturally have low tensile strength and poor thread retention. For this reason, threaded inserts and self-tapping bushings are essential to enhance the durability and stability of plastic fastenings.
A.T.S. offers a wide range of brass threaded inserts, available for different installation methods:
- Expansion press-in inserts – Designed to be pressed into plastic materials, they expand upon installation, creating a secure anchorage.
- Heat-stake inserts – Using heat to fuse with plastic, they ensure a strong and lasting connection, ideal for high-stress components.
- Molded-in inserts – Integrated directly into the plastic mold during injection molding, they offer optimal retention and seamless integration.
- Self-tapping bushings with internal and external threading – These components allow for the creation of strong and precise threads in plastic parts without pre-tapping.
Fasteners for plastics ensure durable and resistant fixings by distributing the load over a larger surface, preventing damage to the plastic. Their versatility makes them ideal for applications in electronics, automotive, household appliances, and industrial equipment.
Made of brass or steel, they offer high corrosion and wear resistance. In addition to standard models, customized solutions can be provided for specific needs, ensuring reliable and long-lasting performance.
