When a plastic component requires a strong and reliable metal thread, brass threaded inserts for insert moulding provide an effective solution for creating durable fastening points directly integrated into the plastic part. This technology improves assembly reliability and ensures consistent performance even in applications requiring repeated screwing and unscrewing operations.
When a thread directly machined or moulded into plastic cannot withstand the required mechanical loads, brass threaded inserts for plastic components help increase resistance to pull-out forces, torque loads and mechanical stresses generated during operation.
Brass threaded inserts for insert moulding are incorporated during the production process of the plastic component, generally through plastic injection moulding processes or other plastic forming technologies. Selecting the correct insert depends on several factors, including the type of plastic material, component design, assembly requirements and the mechanical performance expected from the final application.
The inserts are available in different configurations, including blind hole and through threaded versions, with various external geometries such as knurled or grooved surfaces designed to improve anchoring inside the plastic material. These features allow a more balanced distribution of stresses, helping to reduce the risk of insert pull-out or rotation within the component.
The use of brass as the insert material provides important technical advantages, including good corrosion resistance, excellent machinability and effective thermal conductivity, making these inserts suitable also for electronic and industrial applications.
Brass threaded inserts for plastic materials are widely used in sectors such as automotive, electronics, electrical equipment, industrial automation, household appliances and technical plastic components.
ATS Lamberti supplies brass threaded inserts for plastic applications and supports customers in selecting the most suitable solution according to the plastic material, insert configuration, production process and assembly requirements. Technical assistance helps identify the most appropriate solution for each application, improving the reliability and performance of the final component.
The range includes different dimensions and metric thread sizes to meet common industrial requirements. Detailed information about available sizes, technical specifications, installation methods and application possibilities is available in the dedicated documentation for brass threaded inserts for insert moulding.
