6030 INSERT

Insert Type 6030 & 6030H series

Has been developed for installation into thermoplastics where the design incorporates a tapered hole configuration. The parallel body design combined with the opposing helical knurl bands enables users to achieve up to a 25% increase in productivity by the ability to reduce the recommended dwell time compared with standard tapered hole inserts.

SPIRO™

Insert Type SP & HSR series and Stud Type SPTS & SPHS series

Designed to cope with the difficulties presented by hard brittle thermoset  materials. The sharp precision knurl pattern cuts into these materials reducing radial stresses and allowing thinner boss walls than many other inserts.

BANC-LOK™

Insert Type N41, N42 & N42R series

Ideal for use in hard thermosetting plastics, BancLok are press-in expansion inserts which, due to their diamond knurl pattern, give minimum penetration of the sides of the hole without sacrificing pull-out resistance.

FIN-LOK™

Insert Type FL & FLH and Stud Type HLTS & HLHS series

A press-in insert, which can be easily installed into most thermoplastic materials. It features a combination of sharp fins and straight knurls. Unlike the Press-Lok range, this insert has a free running thread.

FLO-TECH™

Insert Type FTC series

A blind-ended threaded insert which has been introduced to meet the needs of those moulders who, for a variety of reasons, prefer to mould-in. The unique design of three opposed helical knurl bands combined with the included recesses give extremely high levels of performance in both pullout and torque tests.
