SPIROL Releases Comprehensive Inserts for Plastic Design Guide
Inserts provide reusable threads in plastics, and they also assure that the threaded joint integrity is preserved for the life of the application.
SPIROL International Corporation has recently published an Inserts for Plastics Design Guide. This is the most comprehensive publication of its kind available to the public.
Each application has unique considerations such as the specific plastic type in which the Insert will be used, torque and tensile requirements, corrosion resistance, temperature requirements, and installation methods. This new design guide offers much more than just specifications for Brass Inserts.
Included in the design guide is:
- An explanation about why Inserts are used
- Why SPIROL Inserts are preferred over other companies' offerings
- The reasoning behind particular Insert designs/types
- An overview on the various types of plastic
- Component design guidelines when using Inserts in an assembly
- Specifications for SPIROL's expansive standard lines of Inserts
- A discussion on special types of Inserts
- A review of Insert testing methods and performance expectations
- A complete overview of Insert installation methods
- Design recommendations when using Compression Limiters in conjunction with Inserts
- A review of SPIROL's Application Engineering Support
This catalog is extremely useful for Design Engineers, Manufacturing Engineers, Purchasing, and Quality Engineers. Even though this catalog offers a lot of useful information regarding design guidelines and specifications for Brass Inserts for Plastics, it is imperative that the proper Insert be chosen for each particular application to ensure joint integrity is maintained throughout the life of the product.
SPIROL Engineers will review your application needs and work with your design team to recommend the best solution at the lowest total installed cost. It all starts with our Optimal Application Engineering process.
