BENEFITS

  • The closed end keeps out the plastic.
  • The chamfered end of the hole keeps out plastic and facilitates installation on the locating pins.
  • The laminated threads reduce the risk of contaminating the molded piece with metal shavings.
  • The absence of waste material at the closed end reduces the risk of contamination and facilitates automated installation.
  • This exclusive design ensures high levels of performance.

DESIGN GUIDE

In certain applications, our Flo-Tec inserts may also be installed after the molding process. Contact PSM CELADA Fasteners for more information. The design of the locating pin is a determinant factor in the success of the insert molding process. The particular geometry of the pin, as shown in the diagram, positions and holds the insert in place prior to molding, thereby inhibiting the outflow of plastic during the process.
