High-performance threaded inserts for plastics (ATSCPBCM_ATSCPBCML)
Reliable metal threads for thermoplastic components requiring secure fastening, high pull-out resistance and long-term performance.
Creating durable and reliable threads in thermoplastic components is a common challenge in modern manufacturing. Plastic materials offer significant advantages in terms of weight reduction, design flexibility and production efficiency, but they often require reinforced fastening solutions capable of withstanding repeated assembly cycles and mechanical loads.
ATSCPBCM and ATSCPBCML press-fit threaded inserts are designed to provide strong metal threads in plastic parts, improving fastening reliability while reducing the risk of thread wear, stripping and premature component failure. Their design allows manufacturers to increase assembly performance without compromising the integrity of the surrounding material.
Used in injection-molded components, plastic housings, technical enclosures and engineered assemblies, these inserts help create secure fastening points for applications where durability, consistency and serviceability are essential requirements.
The ATSCPBCM version features a single anchoring crown and represents the standard solution for most industrial applications. The ATSCPBCML version, available upon request, incorporates a double-crown design that provides enhanced retention and increased pull-out resistance for demanding applications subject to higher mechanical stresses.
By distributing loads more effectively within the thermoplastic material, ATS inserts contribute to improved fastening stability, longer product life and greater reliability throughout the operational lifecycle of the assembled component.
Typical applications include:
- Injection-molded plastic components
- Industrial equipment and machinery
- Automotive plastic assemblies
- Electrical and electronic enclosures
- Household appliances
- Technical plastic housings
- Mechanical and electromechanical assemblies
Key advantages:
- Fast and simple press-fit installation
- Reliable metal threads in thermoplastic materials
- High resistance to pull-out and rotational forces
- Improved durability under repeated assembly and disassembly cycles
- Reduced risk of thread damage in plastic components
- ATSCPBCM standard version with single anchoring crown
- ATSCPBCML reinforced double-crown version available upon request
- Suitable for demanding industrial fastening applications
Frequently asked questions
Plastic threads fail because thermoplastic materials are exposed to creep, vibration and thermal cycling, which gradually deform the material and reduce torque retention over time.
These effects can lead to loss of fastening stability and eventual thread failure in industrial applications.
Press-fit threaded inserts work through a system of controlled mechanical interference between the metal insert and the thermoplastic material.
During installation, the anchoring crown embeds into the plastic, ensuring high resistance to pull-out and rotation without adhesives or heat processes.
